It's like if baseball (and don't get me wrong, baseball has it's problems too, but most of them -- like the designated hitter -- are tied to greed) tried to change it so that there were no extra innings because all games would be decided by home run derby after the 9th.
People love soccer. No question. If you're going to reduce the argument to whether or not it is a popular sport to determine whether or not it is flawed, then the answer is simple.

And the BCS BS is funfamentally flawed - it's not stopping us from watching.
