No champion. No playoffs. No coaches' polls, no sportswriters' polls, no computer rankings.
Let's go back to the old ways where people argue about who really had the best team last year. This is college ball, not professional ball (or at least it should be).
Why do we need a national champion? We don't. We get one because of the money available for advertising on the "championship" game. And even with the advent of the BCS we still don't get a clean clear champion.
That's for the best. Half the fun of being a sports fan is arguing with other sports fans. Let's get rid of this ridiculous system and go back to the old bowl system based on conference matchups and long standing rivalries.
