maybe not 5 BCS games, but at least 4
I think that's what he's talking about. If there were 5 BCS games then the tie-ins would all be fricked up. Four games would be much better.
1

I didnt really read your options.
I always assumed at the end of the season, #1 would play #4 and #2 would play #3.
Then the winners of those two games would play in the +1.
Those 4 teams would be the only 4 eligible to win MNC.

the neo-classical scenario really doesn't help shite and it has the potential to frick shite up in a season like 2005 or 2006

you picked the "playoff" definition
Posted on 1/3/09 at 1:31 pm to SlowFlowPro
I prefer a "Final 4". Seed the Top 4 teams and play them down (1 v 4, 2 v 3) with the winners meeting.

that sounds more like #1, unless i'm reading that wrong
No because under the old system, it was highly unlikely that there would be a title game in the one of the bowls because of the tie ins.
It was when Miami became a power that a bowl game being the title game became more common because they didn't have a tie in. Besides that pretty much the only chance was if the Big 10 and Pac 10 had the 1-2 teams and could meet in the Rose. Or if ND was 1 or 2.

IMO, that would cause more controversy than the way it is now.
definitely agree...but compared to the pre bcs system it would have been an improvement.

Funny how there will always be controversy, huh?

well I'd define a +1 as #3 because that is the fairest way to do things.
How is it the most fair way??? No way is it more fair than a 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 format.
Under the #3 format, it is possible that #1 would have to play #2 in a BCS Bowl, while the #3 team could play a low ranked, 8-4 Big East champ.
Why should the #1 team have to beat the #2 to play in a championship, while the #3 team gets to play an 8-4 Big East team to play in the championship?
How is that possibly more fair than 1 vs 4 taking on the winner of 2 vs 3???

Oh, and btw, I don't even think #1 and #2 were ever considered.

How do you define "Plus One?"
A simple ranking of "thumbs up vs. thumbs down" comments on Youtube. Usually, to define whether you agree or disagree with the current comment displayed.

A 4-team playoff, with the "plus one" being relative to a 2-team playoff.

I don't even consider #2 as a +1 format at all. It is a playoff, not really a +1, IMO.
