That comment misrepresents something as Fox News would while trying to sway somebody who doesn't know whats going on.

The BCS isn't just an opinion poll, it's the system used to determine the top eight and ultimately top team in NCAA football. And in determining that they don't simply conduct a poll, they play out a National Championship game.

Yes, the NCAA doesn't officially crown a national champion, but the conferences hired the BCS to do that. The BCS crowns the national champion, the other polls are just opinion. It isn't just some random group who ranks things like the AP, they actually conduct the game, and they have the two best teams in the nation. There have been years when there is controversy, but the BCS championship game is the national championship.
