INDIANAPOLIS -- A secret memo to senior members of the NCAA Executive Committee was passed along to Page 2 by a high-level source inside the association. The document details a radical change to the Bowl Championship Series system.

Fearing even more snide remarks from the public about the computer-ranking portion of the BCS caluculations, the NCAA is giving serious consideration to replacing the eight computer rankings with a slate of new judges. The contenders were evaluated by an unnamed member of the NCAA staff. Here are the key excerpts of the secret memo:

Candidates for the BCS panel
Candidate	Pros	Cons
Mel Kiper	Has no problems with decisiveness	The hair
Notre Dame coaching candidates	Everyone's included!	School doesn't remember what BCS is
Joey Harrington	Seems to think he has answers	Only a "show" in Heisman race
Florida fans	Nothing better to do	A wee bit anti-Vol
LSU coaching staff	SEC title game experience	Coming from SEC West, can they recognize good teams?
Gary Barnett	Knows how to make a good case	That fake punt vs. Texas
The Bowden family	Down-home folksiness	Bobby's cowboy hat = poor judgment
BYU boosters	Understand "undefeated"	Don't understand "TV ratings matter"
If there is a willingness to go a different direction than that whole "they really should be familiar with football" hang-up, then perhaps we could consider:
The Stanford band	Too clever ...	... for their own good
The "Oceans 11" gang	Bernie Mac, Matt Damon	Donald Sutherland
Our member-schools' sports information directors	Sympathetic to the NCAA's need for "clarity"	Don't they already vote in the coaches' poll?
Shaq and Kobe	Know championships	L.A. bias?
Real World New York II housemates	Squabble in best tradition of rankings-meisters	Perhaps too much attention-draining other drama
*N Sync	Inroads into the elusive "tweens" market	"It's Gonna Be(C.S.)" anthem just misses the mark
The combined casts of "Law and Order" shows	Good at solving mysteries	There's enough sanctimony in college football as is
Magic 8-Ball	Can see the future	That thorny "Ask again later" issue
