SB Nation’s BCS Evolution squares up to the reality of three mid-major teams occupying top-five slots in the BCS rankings, and confronts the ever-increasing likelihood of BCS No. 3 TCU, No. 4 Boise State, or No. 5 Utah making it to the national title game. There are two schools of thought concerning what this might do to bring about an eventual playoff system. The first:
BCS Standings: Could Mid-Majors’ Ascendancy Lead To A Playoff?
↵If TCU or Boise State go to the BCS championship game, the big conferences will want a playoff to weed them out in the early rounds.
The idea of this argument is that the major conferences support the current system to exclude potential outsiders from championship consideration. Based on this premise, if TCU or Boise State make the championship game the BCS will have failed this, and these conferences will have no reason to fight a playoff.
↵Could the mid-major thorns in the sides of Big Six programs actually turn the tide away from the bowl cartels? Read the other side of the argument at BCS Evolution, and cast your vote.
