The survey results supported my argument that the BCS system needs to be changed. 85.7% of the respondents felt a change to the playoff system needed to be made. Only 9.6 % of the respondents were satisfied or extremely satisfied with the current system. And 90.5% felt that money was the reason the BCS system is in place.
One reason I felt the BCS should change was that the system is biased towards larger schools, and 100% of the respondents felt that was true, including the few who actually supported the BCS. 100% of the people also agreed that the way the BCS is set up excluded deserving teams from a chance at the national championship in past years.
I found the number of people who dislike the BCS system to be very interesting. 52.4 % were dissatisfied and 19% were extremely dissatisfied with the system, with one person adding a comment that he was EXTREMELY dissatisfied. I also was impressed with how many of the respondents went above and beyond the requirements of the survey, and gave their input in the comment box. Their thoughts helped guide my direction when writing the final draft of the survey. The only thing I would change if I had to do it again was to try and gather more input. A larger survey sample would have been even more interesting!
