Three years after the demolition of the BCS system, the nation continues to wonder whether the current playoff system is the ideal way of determining college football’s ultimate champion.
The BCS’s computerized system ultimately prevented teams from the Group of Five conferences (American, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, and Sun Belt) from participating in the national championship, even if one possessed a perfect record.
The Western Michigan Broncos currently sit at 13-0, one of two undefeated teams in the nation, but the Broncos were never considered for a playoff spot, placed at No. 15 in the committee’s poll.
