BCS Bias
Last night I was disappointed that Deangelo Williams didn't win the Doak Walker Award but such is life. After thinking about the award I have come to the conclusion that the Non-BCS schools should create their own seperate league that could be comparable to Division 1 AA. In this league you would have the WAC, The Mountain West, CUSA, the MAC, and the Big Sky conferences. You would play all of your non-conference games against these teams and you could compete for the Non-BCS national championship. In doing this you could also have a playoff system that would lead to the champion being crowned. You can use the bowls as playoff sights and have the championship played in a warm climate city. This would only hold true for football because there are a few of these schools could compete for a national championship in basketball. In doing this you can invigorate the programs by creating a viable incentive to play for. If the BCS won't let us in maybe it is time to create a new system. There are the haves and the have nots, and non-BCS schools are the have nots so maybe this system will change that image that these schools have.

Interesting theory. It'd be a shame though for those teams not to mix and match. Sometimes the non-BCS guys throw a real wrench in the works.
Memphis, UCF, Northern Illinois and other non-BCS folk have beaten Alabama. Heck, Louisiana Tech upset them in '99 when Alabama won the SEC title! I'd hate to see a seperation of D1 conferences.
In addition to being a Bama fan, I'm also a UAB fan. It was great to see them upset LSU at Death Valley a few years back and they nearly toppled Tennessee at Neyland this year. I'd hate to see those games fall by the wayside.
