re: illinois instead of georgia

You're right I don't. If you want the ideal postseason...hmm.

Let's take, oh, I dunno...8 teams. We'll have them do this cool playoff thing. First round games are played in Capital One, Holiday and Gator Bowls, along with one of the Big 4 Bowls. Semifinals are two other Big 4 Bowls, and whichever bowl's turn it is to host the NC will be the finals. Cycle the Big 4 around each year. (EX: This coming year, the Sugar Bowl would be the first round b/c the NC was hosted in New Orleans last year. The Rose and Fiesta Bowls would be the semis because they're the next two to host NC games, and since it's the Orange's turn, the Orange Bowl is the NC game.)

Big 10 and Pac-10 don't want it? Forget them, then. Add the Cotton Bowl in place of the BCS bowl for the first round and have the Sugar, Fiesta and Orange Bowls cycle in the semis and finals like above. And to force them into joining? Invite no Pac-10 or Big-10 teams to the playoffs and award no national championships to teams from the Pac-10 or Big-10 until they consent to join the playoffs.


EDIT: And about NYG and Fresno State. They earned it on the field, plain and simple. If New England's the best team of all time (as many were saying prior to the Super Bowl), how come they couldn't take care of a wildcard that barely made the playoffs and that they beat in the regular season on the league's biggest stage? And if Fresno State is merely the 4th seed in a REGIONAL, for the love of all that's holy, WHY couldn't ANYONE better than them win?

Simple. In the end, those teams were the best on the field. Their record doesn't show it, but if we go by record, then Hawaii and Kansas split the championship this year in CFB.

I just did so obviously there is a way.

Check edit on NYG and Fresno St.

So

1 OSU
8 Kansas

3 Va Tech
6 Mizzou



5 UGA
4 OU

7 USC
2 LSU

So there are still problems with this.

People said UGA didn't deserve a shot at the NC since they didn't win their division. Here they get a shot at it.

How pissed would you have been if Va. Tech beat us to win the NC? We did bitch slap them earlier in the season, but I guess that just doesn't count?

Big 10 and Pac-10 don't want it? Forget them, then.

and any credibility this idea had goes down the drain. We would quickly be back to the days of split NCs

Who is doing this awarding?

Because the AP can do whatever the frick it wants.

Because shite happens in sports. I fail to see how NE's one loss in the SB makes up for all of NY's losses in the regular season.

Or how Fresno St.'s terrible regular season allows them the right to call themselves the best team in CBB

so, youre in favor of people just voting who's the best?

thats just fricking stupid

ugh, this is getting brain numbing

I questioned the validity of their circumstances when they won the title.

Just as you USC fans questioned the circumstances of LSU's sugar bowl in 04

Way different. One instance it was decided on the field, the other was decided by a poor and faulty system.

ftr had Notre Deam beat Syracuse then it would have been USC vs. Oklahoma, still denying the 2 top teams a shot. The system was broke, was changed but is still broke as it is impossible to select only 2 worthy teams in most years.

I mean technically both were decided on the field.

If USC had lost to Michigan or LSU had beaten the hell out of OU we wouldn't be having this discussion.

So this discussion was in fact created on the field.

Which is what I'm saying the CWS is.

So its better to throw in teams like Mizzou and Va Tech that haven't done anything to prove their place all season or have gotten beaten down when they played another team in those playoffs that year?

or they knew georgia had a good shot at whipping that usc arse.
