Why Don't We Use BCS Rankings Across the Board??

If you have read this blog over the past four years, you know that I hate the BCS. I know we are stuck with it because the money is too good.

My thing is this: Why don't we use the BCS rankings to create the other games? I mean, the people for the BCS always say "we get the best possible matchup" due to the system. So why not have a whole month full of great matchups and then (TRY TO) place them in bowls that are accessible to both schools. Well, after you slot the #3 through #10 BCS teams in the four BCS bowls.

BCS: #1 Oklahoma vs #2 Florida
SUGAR: #3 Texas vs #4 Alabama
ROSE: #5 USC vs #6 Utah
FIESTA: #7 Texas Tech vs #8 Penn State
ORANGE: #9 Boise State vs #10 Ohio State
COTTON: #11 TCU vs #12 Cincinnati
CAP ONE: #13 Oklahoma State vs #14 Georgia Tech
GATOR: #15 Georgia vs #16 BYU
HOLIDAY: #17 Oregon vs #18 Michigan State
CHIK FIL A: #19 Virginia Tech vs #20 Pitt
LIBERTY: #21 Missouri vs #22 Ball State
OUTBACK: #23 Northwestern vs #24 Boston College

Aside from #25 Ole Miss, I don't know how the rankings kept going (maybe the BCS should publish that too). I mean, if all everyone cares about is great football matchups, than the ACC and Big East shouldn't mind if their teams get knocked out of the big, big money and make room for schools who could bring better games.
