I hear ya, but they won’t because of money. There as never been a true national champion which makes college football a joke in my eyes. Every other college sport has a playoff, even lower division football, except Division I-A. It’s a shame.
eric the Lil' Devil remarked
the only way i would back the bcs this year is if that florida team gets left out in the wind! atleast usc choked their ass off and helped the morons out who came up with this inadequate system
A Different Chris the Virgin commented
There’s no good way to pick who’s going to play Ohio State. Do you go with the team that had more wins and penalize the one who just didn’t have as many games on the schdule? Do you go with the conference champion? Remember, Pitsburgh was a wild card team in the NFL plyaoffs last year. Do you go with the team that lost to the best team in the country by 3 over the team who lost to #11?

The thing is, honestly I think Michigan is better then Flordia but Flordia did everything they can including playing and beating some very good teams in a very good conference. The truth is the team at the end of the year or who is the best when it matter is completely different than the team who looks the best a lot of the season.
The one aspect of this that I don’t understand is how in the world the powers that be can’t figure out that a playoff would make 10x the money. It seems very obvious to me.
eric the Lil' Devil added
i only hope that florida gets blown out by 20+ next month! michigan would be the better game!
Josh the Virgin pontificated
You hit the nail right on the head. College football could be the best sport on the planet except for the fact it has no real ending to the season. How any sport can exist that doesn’t end in a playoff is beyond me. I love the title by the way. I think a four or eight team playoff would be too few. I think they need to do a 32 team playoff, in fact, I made up a bracket of the top 32 teams from this season just to see what it would look like.

I gotta agree with Christopher. We’ve had many bitch sessions about the BCS over the past two years. I love my Trojans, but I was pretty sure they’d get beat by both Michigan and Ohio State… and yet, they were ranked #2 over Michigan. The whole thing is just bizarre. It was obviously a system created by men because it is completely flawed.

How would it be different if women actually created anything by themselves?
Christine the Lioness uttered
Why are you assuming it wouldn’t be different?
Christopher the Pyro thought this
If it was up to women, we would need to have a play off with all 111 division 1 teams because anything else just wouldn’t be “fair”.
Ben2 the Soldier up'n wrote this
I was asking you how different would it be if women designed the BCS or whatever.
Christine the Lioness thought this
I haven’t put much thought into a complete re-design and don’t have a detailed plan, Ben2… but I do think it would be different. Most theory on how the male mind works compared to the female mind (like Guerin’s theories), suggest that men tend to focus on statistics and logic as a base for decision making. Women lean more toward emotional satisfaction and trying to insure all parties involved feel good about the outcome. You don’t have to buy that theory on any level, but if you do, then I think women would get rid of the complicated BCS system that relies solely on statistics, and would come up with something some sort of alternative. This is our fourth year of controversy based on the BCS? I think women would have redesigned the system after one year to a playoff because a playoff eliminates controversy and at the end of the season, no one can really argue what was fair and what wasn’t.
Don’t get me wrong, a playoff system in football wouldn’t be as easy as say, basketball due to constraints like team travel, the amount of fans that would have to travel, strength of schedule within certain conferences vs. other conferences, etc. But I think those obstacles could be overcome with some thought so that playoffs could be put in place. Just my two cents.
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
BCS - 8 years. 2 Uncontested NC out of so far. 6 years where there was some type of controversy, including split national championships, 2 undefeated teams at the end of the year.
