Its a mess.
It should go something like this:
Regular season BCS used to determine 8 teams in the playoff (yes the moaning for the 8th spot will be heard).
The regular season should count; the playoffs determine who
the best team is at the end of the season. Its like this in almost
every other sport.
But its not gonna happen... and its sad.

One thing about Missouri beating Illinois is that this is one of those cases(and people use this 'excuse way too often) that Illinois is a completely different team now then when they played Missouri, and that game was alot closer then the score indicated. If I remember correctly a couple no-calls and it is a FG game.
I am not an Illinois fan, but I had them on the radar real early in the year(kinda a redboard but my friends could confirm). Zook has done some amazing recruiting things there, which I thought would be impossible. Next year they will win the Big Ten as long as no serious injuries, they are a very young team this year and have progressed like a well coached team does
