No disagreement. But those were issues with Constraints placed on the post season because of the bowls and conferences.. and competing polls.
The changes that were made (BCS) were made to rectify that issue... That #1 and 2 simply were not ALLOWED to play many times because of how the post season was structured, not because there was a huge issue in how #1 or 2 were determined up to the point the bowls were played.
Get 1 and 2 to play each other. That was the only goal when all this started.
Bcs solved that problem. Sort of. Computers and algorithms were its downfall. Playoff the top 4 was supposed to fix that, but the committee has been its downfall.
Every time they've tried to fix it, There's an overreaction in the correction. I think this is more of the same.
