Without playing head-to-head, how do we know which team is truly the best?

As the chaos continues in college football, the question is, "Does anyone really want to win this thing?"

Kansas appears to be the most determined team out there, and can prove itself worthy of the title by winning out.

KU's remaining schedule includes #5 Missouri and #4 Oklahoma. If the Jayhawks can get past the Tigers.

Win those games, and KU will be the only 13-0 BCS Conference Champion.

Shouldn't that be enough to get them a title shot?

Or, did KU start too low in the popularity contest initially to make it to the Title Game?

Lose to Missouri and the Jayhawks will enjoy the spoils of a BCS game, just not the BCS title game.

Without a couple of upsets, the teams in the title game will likely be the winner of the off-field popularity contest known as major college football.

A one-loss LSU will most certainly get a shot at the BCS title.

After all, they would boast a resume that includes winning the title of the self-proclaimed "best conference in college football." Plus, they may be able to say that they beat the champion of another BCS conference, Virginia Tech.

This could potentially leave several one-loss conference champions scratching their heads wondering what it takes to get to the coveted BCS Title game.

Did Ohio State, who until this past weekend was seen as a lock to get in, mess-up because they lost late in the season rather than early like Oregon, Oklahoma, LSU, Missouri and WVU? Or, were they pretenders with an advantageous schedule.

Can Oklahoma, who lost to a bad Colorado team really lay claim to being the best team in college football?

If Oregon and WVU win out, and that may be a big if, they will have a lot to ponder in the off-season.

Two plays for both of these teams could be the difference between these teams playing each other in the Title Game.

The real question gets to be: "What defines the #1 team in Major College Football?"

Is it the best team, or is it the most consistent team, or is it the luckiest team, or a team with the right schedule, or the most popular team?

Is time to take the media out of the mix and give it to a computer? Honestly!

ESPN is constantly telling you one week that TEAM A is a lock to play for a national championship, only to watch TEAM A go down in flames over the weekend. Then the next week they move on to TEAM B, "who is deserving and are now the lock."

My question is, "Where is the responsible journalism?" Does no one have to take take some owership in their words or show some accountability, step up and say, "I WAS WRONG?"

No they don't because they think you hang on their every word. Egomaniacs, that is what the media has become. Leave the teams alone let them play the games and let's have a playoff! Geez, it's not rocket science. I don't want the National Championship in college football left to bunch of Know-it-alls with no accountability.

How about this. All of the "so-called" experts can continue to spew their knowledge, but if they are incorrect, how about an electric shock every time they get it wrong?

This my friends is what the NCAA, and the current BCS system gives us.

Questions, nothing but questions, along with a healthy dose of confusion from the media and their so-called expertise. CONFUSION is COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

Without playing head-to-head, how do we know which team is truly the best?

Now that is THE question.
