Blog - #2 - Urban Meyer: "Bowl Championship Series ‘a flawed system’”

11/19/13-Author:Tali
On November 18, 2013, Urban Meyer, coach of The Ohio State Buckeyes, called the BCS “a flawed system.” The full quote is below.

“Without spending much time on it, because it’s not fair for our team to do that, I will say this: I think it’s a flawed system,” Meyer said. “When you logically think about it, what the BCS people have done, which obviously we’re all part of it, I think it was great for a while.”

I think (the BCS) took an imperfect system and did the best you can without a playoff,” Meyer said. “There’s going to be controversy in playoffs, too … There’s not a 64-team playoff. You’re going to have four guys. What is that fifth team going to feel like?”

Coach Meyer is no doubt venting some of his frustrations at having a team that has not lost in two years but is third in the BCS and may very well remain there. We know the system is flawed; the notion that you can crown a true College Football National Champion without a decent playoff system is illogical.

His other insight that people would have problems with a 64 team playoff is also correct; however, the 65th team would not really have a chance of winning the championship. On the other hand: a 16 team or 32 team playoff would be large enough to ensure a “true” champion emerges from the playoffs. Please weigh in with your opinion and don’t forget to VOTE.
