I don't like neither of them, but if I had to pick one, probably the BCS. I'm sick of the same teams every year
Which would you change first: BCS or 1 and done?

So you're saying we need to get rid of the SEC?
Nah, just stop them from paying their players.
No it shouldn't, high school kids should be able to go pro after high school if they want.
1 and done.
BCS has only really screwed up one year, but I'll be the first to say it screwed that year up royally.
1 and done hasn't done a single ounce of good. The BCS has worked much more consistently.

Well from an ISU fan perspective, doesn't the 1 and done help us, so why would we want to see that go? Unless it went back to letting them declare out of High School.
We don't need the likes of Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, or KU recruits staying in the conference any longer than they have to.

Yeah I don't get why there is a need to force kids to go to college at that point, they're adults, they should be able to make the decision if a team is willing to take them on.
One and done. People will ALWAYS whine and argue about who the "true" champion should be regardless, and there will always be a "better way". The one-and-done, however, is not only hurting college basketball, but more importantly, allowing kids to fool themselves into thinking that an education isn't important.
I agree with this. IMO, they just need to take away the restriction, if anything. However, that is an NBA rule (if I understand correctly), so if the NBA wants to prevent players from entering right out of high school, that's up to them.
I think the BCS is much more in need of change, but I don't think many agree with me on why. My opinion is, if you're going to let MAC, WAC, MWC, etc. teams play in your "Division", you have to give them a reasonable chance at a national championship. So I'd prefer a system that gives mid- and low-major teams a reasonable chance to win the national championship.
People will always complain that whoever was left out of a playoffs didn't get a fair chance whether it be the the team in 3rd, 5th, 17th or 69th. But I feel that having a computer only picking 2 teams is not the answer and leaves way too much open. The team in 5th has a much less case saying they deserved a shot a the national championship. Having a +1 type tournament with the remaining bowls staying the same, although far from perfect, eases a lot of the concerns.
As far as 1 and done, I personally don't see the problem. They aren't forced to go to college as they could play professionally overseas if they wanted to. If the players are good enough to go pro after 1 year, why not let them? It's the NBA that feels players out of high school aren't mature enough for NBA life, not the colleges. Of course the colleges are going to take as much advantage of that as they can be recruiting those players.

This argument is played, and it never really had any substance to begin with.
There is a monumental difference between the 69th and 17th teams left out and the ******* number 2 team in the nation (OSU, Auburn from a while back.)
The BCS system will change first. I think that we will see a plus one system in the next year or two. The one and done rule should be done away with, but it probably won't be.
I agree, which is why I said the team in 5th or 17th or whatever doesn't have the same case as, for example, OSU or Auburn recently. Including 4 in a playoff includes those teams that truly get ripped, but doesn't "keep the kids out of classes" or whatever the arguement is against the 16+ team tournaments.
The one and done rule has done a lot of good. It's made guys like Kevin Durant and John Wall household names before they even played a minute in the NBA. It's been nothing but beneficial for the NBA. They will never change it back to allowing kids to be drafted right out of high school.
Not fair also to these guys like Anthony Davis, John Wall that waste time in College. Fact is there are just some guys can play pro ball straight out of high school.
