BCS in review vs 4 team playoff? Let's see what the potential playoff would be
Posted on 1/16/14 at 9:59 am
Posted on 1/16/14 at 9:59 am
Playoff was chosen by taking top 4 in BCS
1998
BCS FSU vs. Tennessee
Playoffs Tenn vs. tOSU, Kstate vs FSU
Notes: Would've been a good year for a playoff IMO, because KSU and tOSU both had an argument to be in.
1999
BCS FSU vs. VT
Playoffs FSU vs Bama, VT vs Nebraska
Notes: BCS had it right. I don't think a 2 loss Bama should be in over 1 loss Kstate, but it would've been voted that way because Bama.
2000
BCS FSU vs. OU
Playoffs OU vs Washington, FSU vs Miami
Notes: Would've been a great year for a playoff. However, Oreg state and VT both would've had arguments to get in, especially since Washington beat Miami.
2001
BCS Miami vs Nebraska
Playoffs Miami vs Oregon, Colorado vs Nebraska
Notes: Like playoff here, but dislike CU/NU rematch.
2002
BCS OSU vs Miami
Playoffs Miami vs USC, OSU vs UGA
Notes: Prefer BCS here. USC has 2 losses and only two undefeated teams. UGA could've made some noise
2003
BCS LSU vs OU
Playoffs OU vs Mich, LSU vs USC
Notes: 1st year playoff was really necessary and people viewed BCS as failure. USC had an argument that they had the better loss than LSU. However, lots of 2 loss teams battling for 4th spot.
2004
BCS USC vs OU
Playoffs USC vs UT, OU vs Auburn
Notes: This year solidified bitching in the BCS if last year didn't. Playoff would've definitely been great here, but still arguments of why UT deserved it over Cal or Utah.
2005
BCS USC vs Texas
Playoffs USC vs OSU, UT vs Penn State
Notes: So glad this wasn't a playoff year as it gave us the greatest game in CFB history. Also, lots of questions why OSU would've gotten in over 1 loss Oregon when they had 2 losses.
Just from looking at the first half of the BCS era, I'd say a 4 team playoff will be fricking great, but there will be some "New York Giant" type teams who sucked early on (2 losses) who get hot at the end.
5 out of these 8 years would've benefited from a playoff.

When picking your 4 team playoff are you picking the top 4 teams in the BCS ranking? Because, if so, those wouldn't be the matchups.
The committee has already came out and stated they aren't putting the top 4 teams in. More likely the top 4 conference champions.
In most cases the top 4 most likely wont be from the same conference but it does happen every now and then.

A 35-7 shellacking final week loss should have knocked OU out of the NC picture.
LSU and USC should have been the matchup.

What is your criteria for judging which one is better?
Are you just looking if the most deserving teams got a shot at the NCG?
You need to consider the #5/#6 teams that get left out of a playoff if you are going to hold the #3/#4 teams being left out against the BCS.

The playoff will be a colossal failure. The reason we had a BCS in the first place was because a system that relied solely on voting wasn't good enough; the computer component at least added some objectivity against which we could stack the votes and uncover obvious voting bias.
So what do we have now? A system that relies solely on voting.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I've been meaning to start a tread like this in part to predict what a committee or humans might do.
Here's where they differ:
1998:
BCS:
1. UT
2. FSU
3. KSU
4. OSU
Poll Average:
1. UT
2. FSU
3. OSU
4. KSU
Not much difference
1999:
BCS:
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Bama
Polls:
1. FSU
2. VT
3. Nebraska
4. Bama
4. Tennessee (Tie)
Again, not much different
2000:
BCS:
1. OU
2. FSU
3. Miami
4. Washington
Polls:
1. OU
2. FSU
2. Miami (tie)
4. Washington
Great year for Playoff.
VT and Oregon St also had just 1 loss

Would be much better and less controversial than the committee we're getting.

I'm just using this year as an example...
My feeling is that they're going to seed teams so that the Big Ten and Pac 12 play each other, at least in the years that the Rose Bowl is hosting. Let's say it's the Rose and Sugar hosting in 2003...
Rose Bowl: USC v. Michigan
Sugar Bowl: LSU v. Oklahoma
Winner of those two games play for the championship

back then, the big 12 was better than the SEC. k state probably would have gotten the nod.
