National Championship Is A Joke

The NCAA national championship is not designed for all teams to win due to the way the BCS is set up.

After the Army vs Hawaii game, I was listening to the post game show on ESPN Honolulu radio. The broad caster said "each team is limited to what bowls they can play in due to their conference." Of course this had me wondering what that means for the national championship. So I texted in and asked if Hawaii could play for it. The response I got was "technically the door has to be open to all teams but realistically with the way the system is set up, it's a no." They went on to say "There are undefeated teams that cannot even compete for a shot." Basically that the system is not designed for all teams to compete.

Theoretically if Hawaii can best Boise State, They should be close enough to the Top 25 in 2020, to break into it. That's also not gonna happen because what a team does previously unless you're a big name, big money conference school, just dosen't matter. The college football bowl series and national championship is designed to keep a handful of schools in the top 40 and only about 1/4 of those schools can actually compete for the National championship.

Attendance is down for many student body sections. The reason is the student bodys have come to terms across our country that the system is a joke and their school have zero chances of winning an important bowl game or making progress towards being number one. Thus the current NCAA BCS series and playoffs are chasing money away from programs. This all could be fixed but the powers that be are making too much off the current schools to make it fair to the nation. It's quid pro quo, they keep the top schools on top and the top schools keep certain individuals wallets' fat.
