Which is the whole problem


Agreed.

If college football had a playoff (like in 1-AA), UConn would have qualified. Just like Seattle did.


Not true.

And not having this playoff like the way you're suggesting is why the BCS is a good thing, UCONN had no shot at a title.

not in a 4 team playoff, or any playoff that puts teams in based on play during the year

if it wasn't constantly being raided by conferences that have exclusive access to the biggest stage in the sport

why wasn't this conference better pre-BCS?

the BCS didn't create "the stage"

the producer schools/conferences did

the producer schools do deal with the good teams equitably by letting them join the producer conferences

And they've never gotten won. Seattle will not make the Super Bowl this year. The playoff system works.


Yes, they did. Giving them a playoff berth is giving them a clean slate. It doesn't matter how poorly they performed in the regular season. They win the games, they win the title.

Yeah people are forgetting about 9-7 Arizona coming within a few crazy plays of winning the SB.

Except UConn and the Big East made a shite ton more money than Boise and the WAC did. All thanks to the corrupt BCS.


or because the Big East generates more revenue?
