You do realize in a playoff we would most likely have a rematch against bama and Oregon possible Arkansas? Why is everyone against a rematch?


I think the idea is that the regular season is the playoff. We very well might have to play teams again if there is ever a playoff. Certainly there will be rematches at some point. But a true playoff involves giving more than two teams a chance to win a championship. That's not what we have here. If LSU defeats UGA (I'll avoid the idea that we're a lock even if we lose) we're talking about who gets one spot. With only one spot, its appropriate to treat previous matchups as though they were single-elimination playoff games and move forward.

Agreed. This is the very argument used by the BCS creators and managers. The regular season is a playoff. That is why Mich did not get a rematch with OSU. But again it is left up to sentiment of voters to decide what they want.
