The BCS wasn't really made to help decide the championship. The big conferences wanted to be sure that there would be a constant flow of football dough every year, and we see why in the case of the big east, and maybe even the acc and big ten this year. If the best 8 teams got the big money, i'm not sure any of those conferences would receive a large paycheck. instead, the pac 10 and big 12 would get two checks each, the sec would get one, and so would the wac, the mountain west, and maybe conference usa. To ensure the constant redistribution of wealth (sorry for the tax lingo, i was just on the politics board), they've devised the current system. Not only does this lock out mid-major conferences, it ultimately hurts the big conferences that are the best. Luckily for the big conferences, they'll have up and down years, so it will even out for them. I'm surprised the BCS hasn't been sued by the mid-majors--they've got legitimate gripes.
