An 8 team fomat is what is really needed due to the scheduling bull shite.



The 4 team system is the best format without making the regular season an irrelevant waste of time.

If you can't win your conference championship, you don't deserve to play for a national title. After all, there can only be one national champion.

The longer the playoff format, the more it has to do with depth of talent or luck with injuries than the best team.

The SEC's complaint with the BCS was that their champion had less of a chance of going undefeated and therefore was eliminated due to a tougher SEC schedule.

If not for Ohio St's post season ineligibility, your SEC champion (Bama) would have been eliminated last year. That would have been wrong, but the 4-team format solves the problem.

We don't need a rematch of the SEC C.G. or a rematch of Bama and TAM. Losing during the season should have consequences.

Since there is no rule that eliminates a team from the final-4, a rematch as we had in 2011 when Bama and LSU were clearly the most dominate teams, there can be a rematch if no other worthy opponent exists. But that should be rare.

A deeper team is a better team.

A&M loses basically their entire defense. They are over ranked.

I like CBS' optimism, but I don't think our running game will be great without Hill. Decent, but I don't see Blue being a back that can carry the rock 40 times a game. Hill definitely can, and I hope he can come back.

We can bitch all we want about the unfair scheduling process this year (it is/was) but bottom line it is laid the f*ck out for LSU this year, as in 2011. Not sweating A&M at all coming here (JFF is becoming a cliche' for today's prima-donna head case already) and Bama in T town is not gonna be pretty but think they can get it done fuggly. UGA, TCU and FL are your wildcards on the schedule for how 2013's gonna roll...

My cousin is a retired professor from ATM I would say he is well off after living there for sometime, but he did move back home to Arkansas.

A&M and UF are overrated, UGA is in the SECCG again, and LSU triumphs over Bama for the 3rd time in 4 consecutive seasons.

Alabam/LSU is becoming what Texas/Oklahoma and Ohio St./Michigan were, the highest level of elite annual competition.

A&M is so over rated. They have no defense.

A&M is overrated, in my opinion.

Good points mostly, except for this one:

This is ridiculous. The two best teams should be playing for the National Championship. If both of them are from the same conference, that has no bearing whatsoever on the National Title race. The only difference in that case is that whichever one lost the regular season (or conference championship game) matchup has to win twice. None of this split two games and call yourself champions because only one of them "counts" bullshite. Any game that is played has to count, or there is absolutely zero point in playing them.
