The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was created in 1997 out of the ashes of the Bowl Coalition (1992) & Bowl Alliance (1995) arrangements that were puit in place to avoid a playoff system for college football and to help the existing bowl system remain relatively intact. It has only worked sporadically and has only provide a true #1 vs. #2 matchup once to my recollection. For that reason alone itneeds to be scrapped in favor of a true playoff system. that could still use he existing bowls. The problem is that would mean a lot of lower-echelon & borederline teams that currently go to bowls would be eliminiated & because of that the schools will never go for it (too much money at stake).

It stands for Bowl Championship Series and it allows the five major bowls the opportunity to host the national Championship game once every five years. It also created a system to rank the two best teams in the country to help ensure they meet in the title game and not be bound by conference affiliations. To me, it's a joke because several teams over the years have been left in the cold, but I digress.
