This seems unfair when other conferences do not conduct championship games

This seems unfair when other conferences do not conduct championship games and play one game less than those who do.The BCS does not address this issue and their criteria for participating in a BCS Bowl is as follows:1. Conferences that conduct conference championship games find that one good team might suffer a loss that might move them out of the BCS rankings. Some play a straight conference schedule, while others are required to play their division teams and then play cross over games with another division and then conduct a conference championship. Whether one chooses one viewpoint or the other, there is one thing under the current system that seems innately unfair to me and that is the lack of governance in regard to how BCS conference champions are determined. Some say it is the best process we have found so far, others disagree and are advocates of a "play off" system.

The BCS selection process was supposed to help more clearly define who deserved to be playing for the national championship each year. Strickford, Greg Maliczyszyn, Copyright Business Wire 2009.
