It's That Time Of Year!

I'm POed that they put Boise and TCU against each other. You KNOW the only reason they did that was to appease the BCS Schools who are afraid to play them.
 
Pitting Boise State and TCU, and Alabama and Texas against each other assures their will be no clear "#1" as you will have at least 2 and maybe 3(Cincinnati) unbeaten teams at the end of the 2009 college season.

This will give everyone a lot to complain about the BCS during the off season.

In the case of having 3 unbeatens at the end of the season, a one game playoff would not settle anything.
 
I've hated the BCS system since I first comprehended it. It allows for favoritism and exclusion to any particular team that's not typically a "powerhouse" team... Take TCU for example.

I've always been an advocate of a playoff system. It's the only fair way to TRULY have a championship game between the two best teams.


Just throwing it out there... The SEC takes all money earned from BCS bowl games and divides it evenly among ALL SEC teams.

Not sure if you are asking if the money is divided between teams in their conferences or suggesting?

The money is divided between teams in the PAC 10, but not completely evenly. The school that plays gets a bigger share of the game money. They also have the expense of going to the game.

You should be able to easily research and see how the SEC shares the money.
 
I was stating. Not asking. The SEC gives the school that went their travel costs back, then takes the rest of the money and divides it among the rest of the schools. Even those that didn't appear in a bowl game. Merely pointing out that there is at least one conference that doesn't necessarily do it for the money, which is the argument a lot of people make when arguing pro-bowl games.

There's only one problem with a playoff system: who gets in? It doesn't solve the problem, it just moves it. Unless you put all 120 teams in, someone is getting screwed.

Perhaps they should just go back to the old system and admit it's flawed.
 
Perhaps, but they won't. They're men which renders them incapable of admitting they were wrong. :twisted:

Love you guys!!! :mrgreen:

Think you will find that all the conferences share.

Do it like the NFL... Send the top 4 teams (or so) from each conference to play in the playoffs.


Or, they could listen to Dan Wetzel's idea! :D

What if there's a tie for fourth? What about division-based conferences like the SEC? What about the fourth place team in the Sun Belt Conference?

Too many variables, not to mention a very long playoff period.
 
Yeah, I had no idea there were so many conferences. LOL... How about the champion from each conference, plus 6 wild cards... That's a 16 seed play off.
 
I like my idea better. It would be much funnier. Although I'm starting to wonder if that's not what they're doing now. :roll:

I like the idea of a play-off system if they could figure out a way to make it work out. Which they could......if they really wanted to.
 
Yeah I started to read it, but got bored. I'll have someone with a longer attention span read it and give me the highlights. :p
