Despite faults, BCS system better than a playoff

Let’s talk about the game’s popularity. Division I college football set an attendance record in 2007 with a per-game average of 46,962. The previous record was set in 2006.

Ratings for ABC’s “Saturday Night Football” are up 33 percent, thanks to games like Penn State- Ohio State, which outdrew Game 3 of the World Series by 350,000 homes. (By the way, let’s applaud a system where the league’s best team for six months has its season end in four days.)
