As far as i can tell...nope. The BCS uses both polls as a part of their formula IIRC and there has to be a starting point for those polls to exist. I guess you could have no polls until week 1 is played...but even then do we really know how good or not some teams based on the creampuffs that are scheduled?
No matter how you slice it, the system is flawed horribly. I understand the argument of " well some teams think they should be in" and there is some merit to that....but even if the 9th ranked team or the 17th ranked team are left out, that doesnt take away that the top 8 or 16 do get in and have an equal chance to compete. Just like the NHL, NBA, NFL any other sport...you qualify to get in you have a chance. CFB though? Nope. Its entirely up to a completely flawed computer system and geography as to whether your team even gets a sniff. I dont understand how anyone can consider that in any way, shape or form a good idea or a way to truly crown a NC team.
