For what it's worth, there shouldn't be any pre-season polls that weigh in the BCS formula. How can you rank a team in such an important structure that hasn't played a game yet? At least in college hoops there is a long enough season AND a tournament that invites 64 so there is usually a fair mix. But with a 10-12 game season, no tournament and a pre-season ranking that unfairly sets the table,

Not as bad because the best two teams will presumably be in the playoff.

Agree.

There is no way a playoff system could be as unfair as what we got now. Even if a child puts it together.
