I would make at least a prerequisite to win your conference in order to play for the National Title Game. I understand the other BCS bowl games are more presitgious than others, but they are still just exhibitions. I believe Nick Saban stated that a while back as well...one of those things he probably forgot he said.

I wouldn't make it a requirement that you win your conference. They build everything else into the formula why not build a bonus of 2% into your computer formula. Otherwise in two division conferences there is a chance that a 9-3 team wins on a bad weather day and replaces a previously undefeated team and all the major competitors already have 2 losses.

Fixing it is simple...

Plus one.  Top four teams in the BCS rankings - one plays four and two plays three - winners play in the BCS Championship game and the losers face each other in the last BCS bowl prior to the National Championship game.

Problem solved.
