Line of Reasoning...

       The argument and also fallacy found in this article states, "Most people will agree that the SEC is the most dominant conference in the country and has been now for many years" (Referring to college football). 

        The Argument of Fact is that in college football you have a bowl system that is set up to separate the 100+ competing teams into conferences. Those conferences play each other throughout the season and the winners of those conferences will then play in contending bowl games that have their individual rankings of importance. How the system currently plays out is to get into a bowl game you really don't have to have a stellar season. Teams that are only breaking 500 in the season are getting into bowl games playing teams that have done substantially better then they. How does this happen? 

       The individual conferences are set up for power and strength. Power and strength of team is judged on many levels in college football. The University could have a long football history, money and funding from the boosters, a coach with knowledge that is known for his recruiting techniques, and also the fan base. These variables help coaches to bring higher caliber players to their individual programs. 

       The Argument of Value in this article states that "the BCS is supposed to be in place to avoid these types of situations. Who really is the best team in the nation? "

       The Argument of Policy in the BCS and how the rules are set up state that "To qualify for the BCS National Championship Game you must come from a conference that has a conference championship game." 

       Finding and Using Evidence that maybe the BCS is not the best option to decide who the best team is was with a regular season game with LSU and Alabama where LSU won and then you see them meet again in the national title game. "So, we now have two SEC teams playing for the BCS National Championship. That is great, great for the schools and great for the conference. But has anyone asked, “What is going to happen if Alabama wins the rematch?” They have already lost to LSU during the regular season at home. If LSU loses, are they going to get to play Alabama again, best two out of three? Will the BCS award their title to Alabama, while the AP (another ranking system) awards their title to LSU? The BCS is supposed to be in place to avoid these types of situations. Who really is the best team in the nation? This year we may never know. One thing is for sure; the SEC looks to be on top of the college football world, again.

       Fallacies include the BCS system automatically suggests that through "Power rankings" that they can determine who the best team in college football is without physically having those two teams play each other. They automatically say that one opponent in a conference is better than another in an opposing conference with a better record. These situations now are more common on the college football stage. 

       I recommend a playoff system with ultimately 16 of the best teams in the nation. This would be similar to a March Madness. Make a team the is "weaker" according to conference labeling play a "better" team 1-2 or even three times to show their caliber. Then if they make it, we have done a better job of vetting these teams than merely saying who has the deepest pockets.
