Isn't that Hawaii you're talking about? Boise St. won a BCS bowl one year. I don't think the undefeated Hawaii from a few years back should have been in an 8 team playoff - just saying, some years there are undefeateds that COULD be great but go untested.

That's probably my biggest justification for a playoff. Less deserving teams, in the eyes of the voters, but deserving nonetheless. One year that team will get "skull-fricked" and another year that team will rout Bama in the Sugar Bowl.

I certainly don't give a shite about the "most deserving" team argument. I watch sports for ENTERTAINMENT!!

most of the pro-playoff crowd shares this opinion

A playoff would certainly be more entertaining than the current BCS format, even if less likely to determine the "best team"

Uhh, no you don't. Conference schedules are determined by the conference. OOC games require two parties to the contract - if BSU wants to open up against USC they can only do it if USC wants to do the same.

Boise could get a home-and-home with USC whenever they wanted!

I was talking about how they couldn't schedule quality opponents - not shitty has beens.

TCU has no problem scheduling good OOC games. BYU also

the WAC teams always claim they're left out. hell even then, Hawaii got a home and home with USC

BSU is scared of a hard OOC for 3-4 games

Name one year other than 2004 when that is actually the case.

2004 is a year where you could have 4 teams with arguments (USC, OU, AU, Utah, BSU)

2005: 2 teams
2006: 2 teams
2007: 2 teams
2008: 3 teams

let's invite unworthy teams and if they frick up the system in games that aren't representative of the season, "oh well"

The NBA and NHL do this, as well as the NCAA Basketball Tournament. I'm not a fan of the NBA or NHL, but the NCAA tourney is the most popular sporting event in this country not named the Super Bowl. I'd prefer 8 teams or possibly 12 with "wild cards" like the NFL does, but this 16 team proposal kicks the shite out of the current system. Imagine a home playoff game in Tiger Stadium...that atmosphere would be unmatched in LSU's history.

And the NCAA basketball regular season is one of the most unpopular sporting events int the country.

The NBA and NHL do this, as well

they have multiple-game series to rectify the problem

but yes, the NBA invites too many teams

i could be wrong, but i'm PRETTY sure the BCS title game gets more viewers than the NCAA title game in BB

i'd like the revenue

the other teams in the SEC, however, would not

The only 2 years in the BCS' 11 year history where the top 2 teams were undisputed were 2002 and 2005.

no

1998
1999
2000
2001
2002
2005
2006
2007
2008

that's batting a high arse %

i left out 2004 just to avoid the argument (even though nobody disputes USC as teh best team that year. one of the best of all time)

quote:

---

I can make an argument for at least 1 team outside of the top 2 in every other year.

The college FB regular season would be unaffected by an 8 team playoff or even this guy's 16 team playoff

bull fricking shite

if it's conference or bust, then there will be a ton of lost itnerest after week 5-6
