If you are
going for publicity, and money, a conference championship game is good, but it doesn’t always determine the best

We either need all of the BCS conferences to play championship games in football, or none of them. Absent a playoff, the system is always going to be flawed, but making the regular season qualifiers similar will help close that gap.
