C’mon mate. It’s a tv show.

They do this every year. Manufacture controversial talking points to generate content until the only poll that matters drops at the end of the season. We know how the sausage is made by now



I can't argue with your point here however let's see what they do with LSU when they level Bama's tide.

Why don't you go look up what the final 4 of the BCS would have been versus what the playoffs ended up being. Then maybe you'll understand why this thread is so dumb.

The disconnect from from me not clarifying, I wasn't talking about the playoffs going away, rather the polls leading to the playoff picks! Yes, I agree with the playoff and am excited they are going to 12 games next year. I just want AP or any other media out of the business of picking any rankings!

You realize that the AP Poll and Coaches Poll were two major factors in the BCS calculations right? You literally don’t know what you are talking about.

The AP poll has absolutely zero to do with the CFP poll released today.

You are talking out of both sides of your arse in this thread. On one hand you want the polls, like the AP to have zero to do with the playoffs. Yet your thread title says you want the BCS, which took into account multiple polls.

You very clearly don't have an understanding of how the BCS worked, or how the CFP selection committee works. Or both.

They were definitely diminished hence why I prefer AP completely out! 2+2=4 now stop the drugs it's frying your cognitive reasoning!

You can always tell who the dumbest people on the board are by the overreactions to the CFP pools each week.


Especially when they clearly just ranked undefeated > 1-loss > 2-loss > G5.

How so many people can complain about rankings and playoff selections and point to the regular season issues BUT think the fix is by expanding the post season is maddening.

Nothing you do to the post season fixes any of the regular season issues or schedule inequalities and expanding the playoff without actually addressing the problems doesnt help, it only makes it worse.

Every single year the committee has kicked the same four teams as the BCS…..

The current BCS Rankings would be:

1. OSU
2. Michigan
3. UGA
4. FSU

The current College Fottball Playoff Rankings are:

1. OSU
2. UGA
3. Michigan
4. FSU

The same 4 teams. I'm not sure what you are complaining about.

Media hates the south! If it weren't for them Yankees in the media we'd have won the last 17 national titles instead of only 16!

Maybe LSU should leave the SEC and play in the ACC then go to the playoffs every year as an undefeated team!


Maybe LSU shouldn’t lose two football games including one to ACC member Florida St.

The good thing about the BCS formula was it rewarded strength of schedule more than going undefeated. So it encouraged the good out of conference matchup instead of the cupcake games. Media bias favors teams that were good in the last century and encourages cupcake schedules to go undefeated.

Nah.

The BcS was entertaining, but it was always a trash way to determine the national "champion."

GA ranked #2 and plays 4 ranked team with one out of the top 25


What ranked teams have the played so far? Florida?

The “media” doesn’t rank the teams for the playoffs moron, the committee does, I do not think there are any “media” members on it However the media poll does have UGA ranked #1

I think Kentucky was ranked when the game happened, but they have lost again.

UGA will be #1 if they win out I think. OSU may have the stronger 2023 resume if they win out (and the teams they beat win some games), but if it's close you should have UGA #1. SEC has been best conference for a while overall and unless OSU beats Michigan by 30 I would think UGA would have enough to pass them.

I'm sure he has bolted with his tail tucked between his legs, but if not, I would like OP to respond to this.
