Call me crazy, but I actually liked the BCS.  And while conference championship games are necessary, I wish they weren't.  I wish we could do full (or at least close to) round robins.

This is a tough one, IMHO.  

The BCS was a major national change to the way we determine NC's so it impacted the whole country.  On the other hand, it turned out to be temporary and the CG's impact more teams in a given year because only a few nationally are really in the NC race but a lot more are in their own local conference race each year.  

I voted CG's.

I despise CCGs, so I voted BCS, which at time I thought was a positive change.

Since then I've changed my mind, the move from regional to national exposure is actually what's driving most of what I'm growing to dislike about the sport, but still, it's better than CCGs, which are stupid and suck.

Smaller conferences with traditional regional rivalries and full roundrobin-- that's where it's at.
