You prefer the current system, where champions are determined off-the-field, over a playoff. Enough said.
would you like a boxscore for each of the last 10 championship games? I watched most of them. Kinda looked like they were playing on a field. very :lol:
In most instances more than two teams has a legitimate argument as to why they should be playing for a NC. Choosing two teams from more than two teams is why so many people want a playoff and is almost as off-the-field as we can get. Though we could go pre-BCS and stop playing #1 vs #2.
Saw this on a Ute board. Thought it was worth sharing. Everything That's Wrong With College Football on Display at the Sugar Bowl ----------------------------------------- ------------------- A simple question: why do teams like Utah even bother fielding a team? You go undefeated in 2004 and win your bowl. No small feat! So you do it again five years later, and does it make a bit of difference? No. That's everything wrong with college football in a nutshell. What is the point of competing if you don't have the opportunity to pursue the ultimate prize? Nobody wants to go to Salt Lake City to play the Utes. How are they supposed to put together a schedule that will allow the computers to smile upon them? How are they going to play marquee opponents so they can impress the already biased pollsters? We're very fortunate at Oklahoma because we're part of the "in" crowd. We all know who's in the club, but I'm beginning to think that membership, if not already earned by now, is unattainable. Boise State goes undefeated in 2006 and posts another unblemished regular season in 2008 and they're ranking is no higher. That's wrong. Utah has produced two undefeated teams in the last five seasons, yet they're still labeled a BCS buster instead of national championship contender. That's wrong. What makes me the angriest is this simple, unavoidable fact. If Utah played the exact same schedule, and won by the exact same scores, but played their games as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, they would be the #1 team in the country by a UNANIMOUS vote by the pollsters. Now more than ever, we need a playoff. Don't tell me a playoff would dilute the regular season. What the hell does the regular season prove? Utah defeated every one that came to play them, and they have nothing in the grand scheme to show for it. Give me college basketball. It's more democratic.
Great post Tigerdad. I can not understand how the BCS powers-to-be can not see the unbelievable financial bonanza a playoff would be and incorportating the lower tier bowls into the early stages of a playoff system and rotating the BCS bowls in the final stages as they do now. An article from FW Star Telegram about the Mike Leach plan that has been out there for over 10 years. BTW, the post Tigerdad put up came from Soonerfans.com....................some things will never change, many Soonturds on that thread have already dismissed the Sugar Bowl as an overrated SEC opponent against a fairly good "Mid Major". My thought, Big 12 South is OHHHH FER this bowl season, what happens if they lose the next two games?? http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/columnists/jennifer_floyd_engel/story/1121399.html:geaux:
