The BCS (Bowl Championship Series) was created in 1998 to crown the champion of NCAA Division 1 football. Ever since, there have been complaints that the rules governing eligibility for the BCS bowls are exclusionary and often deny the crown to the most deserving team. In 2009, Utah (13-0), USC (12-1), and Texas (21-1) were all denied a shot at the title. Recently, demand for change has escalated, even coming from the White House and U.S. Senate.

Leading up to the BCS

While there are numerous minor bowls, the major bowl games have been in place since the 1930s. Bowl games were organized by local businesses to boost revenues. Methodology for choosing teams varied; most bowls had contracts with individual conferences to provide teams based on standings. As such, the chosen teams may or may not have been nationally well-ranked, or one team could be substantially better. In particular, TV networks, having paid top dollar for broadcasting rights, complained of dull games.

In 1998, an agreement was reached among six conferences (Big East, Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Southeastern, Big 10, and PAC-10), Notre Dame, the Rose Bowl, and ABC for a bowl series culminating in a national champion. The current system uses a BCS designed formula to decide which teams will play in four major bowls (Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta) as well as which two teams will play in a fifth bowl for the national championship.
