There is some talk of restoring a modified Margin of Victory calculation to the BCS. That would help teams like Oklahoma and hurt teams like Ohio State. There would be a cap of 20 points however, so if you're up 59-7, there would be no gain from piling it on even further.
The BCS is better than the way it used to be (just polls) but is still far away from the ideal playoff system. I think an 8 team playoff is the way to go, and this can be accomplished by reducing the regular season by one game. That would mean that the finalists would play only one more game per season than they play now. The current BCS Bowl Games would each house a playoff game, with some others being elevated to that position on a rotating basis. The rest of the bowl games would be filled with teams not in the 8 team playoff. As with anything NCAA related though, it's all about the money, and the big bowls aren't willing to risk their current cash cow by doing something logical.
