I totally agree with you, French West Indian. I think we should just go back to playing Rose Bowl with B1G and PAC12 and call it a day. There are 3 more schools than pre-BCS days in this now. It is always so nice to see B1G and PACx teams in Rose Bowl.
In terms of the prestige of this arrangement, don't forget about the academics of B1G and PAC12. 11 of B1G and 8 of PAC12 schools are in AAU. That is 19 of 61 AAU schools. Nebraska really needs to get back into AAU. We all know that the playing field in college athletics is not even. I am pretty sure that Rich Rod wanted to keep Marques Slocum if he could...
Also, B1G and PAC12 championship games should be played by 2 top ranking teams instead of the division winners. This will essentially give us 4-team playoff of B1G and PAC12. Unless the division teams play home and away games against all division opponents, division does not mean very much. College football schedule will be always unbalanced.
Only the solution to this is the 8 to 16 team playoff and we all know that this will not happen in near future with these bowl games. I don't think Plus One is not good enough. That's why I think we should just go back to pre-BCS. BCS only works sometimes anyhow.
