BCS Fan Poll believes that the fans should be involved in deciding what teams are crowned NCAA DI-A (FBS) National Champions and given a chance for the top BCS bowls. Why are only the head coaches and selected sports journalists allowed to make this selection? There are several million fans that can and should be allowed to participate. It's easy and free to join and participate.
