Undefeated Teams

Can't remember a year when there were 7 undefeated teams after week 9. This could be a bad year for the BCS. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

If UT and an SEC team win out, it's a great year for the BCS and it would have clearly done its job

The BCS sucks. The fact that there is a chance (however small) that 4 teams could be undefeated and not have a chance at the championship is just one of many illustrations of how horrible the system is.

Would you say the biggest wrench would be winner of the SECCG already having one loss (whether it's UF, Bama, LSU) and UT losing along the way?
You may have 4 unbeatens (TCU, Boise, Iowa, Cincinatti) that are all thought of as lesser programs, with the two favorites from the start of the year having 1 loss (SECC, UT). You'll also have Oregon there with one loss. Who do you put in?

How can you say this with a straight face? Just because you think that one loss SEC team and Texas are the 2 best teams doesn't mean the BCS did its job. The BCS is supposed to eliminate controversy, while it seems like it's only going to create some if Iowa runs the table and doesn't get a shot at the title. The BCS only did it's job in 2002 and 2005...when the lone 2 undefeated teams played for the title while they wouldn't have been able to under the old system.

This is where shite gets wild and while unlikely, could be a huge issue for the system. I'd think Iowa vs Cincy, but I wouldn't have much confidence in Cincy's computer score compared to Oregon a 1 loss SEC champ

Even if UT and Fla or Bama win out you CANNOT say that an unbeaten Boise St. or Cincy doesn't deserve to be in that game with one of those teams. If UT and Bama win out and Cincy and Boise St. go win out, why shouldn't Cincy and Boise St. get a chance at the title, this is what drives me crazy about this joke we call the BCS that is nothing more than a cash cow for the BCS conference presidents.

yeah, who is the BCS to deprive the refs of their hard earned national championship?

I agree, but you can't say that just because they scheduled those teams this year, they couldn't beat a Fla or Iowa or UT

an eight team playoff would end this ten year debate over who deserves to play in the NCG

Do you think SC, Mizzou, and Kansas did enough on the field to deserve to play for the national title in 2007?
An 8 team playoff cheapens the regular season. I'd be okay with 4

Boise St and TCU will not get in to the game.
It is really only between UF, Bama, LSU, UT, Cincy, Iowa, and Oregon. I think at least two of those teams will win out. The only one loss teams I think have a chance are LSU and Oregon in that order. If any in that list lose they are out IMO.

I just hate the BCS, yes it's given LSU two national titles but the system will never be perfect, I've been against it since '98 and I want championships won on the field and not in computer labs and by formulas concieved by people that don't watch football. Four or Eight or Sixteen, it doesn't matter. I wish every year for utter chaos in the BCS with hope that everyone will see that it's an embarrasment to college football

well i mean kansas proved they were a legit team when they beat the acc champion and won the orange bowl. were they the best team in the country? almost definitely not.
but, that situation is completely different as all the teams being discussed will have presumably won their conference.
