I see it as if they took the champions from each conferance for the playoff spots.
Then the regular season stays a major part.
Ex.
SEC Champ vs. ACC Champ
Big 12 Champ vs. Pac 10 Champ
Big Ten Champ vs. Big East Champ
MWC Champ vs. CUSA Champ

Just throwing my hat in the ring but im happy no matter what format we stick with.

Is the NCAA basketball tournament tarnished?? It's pretty exciting if you ask me.


Would it be a step forward or backward if computer rankings and voting decided which 2 teams played in the NCAA Basketball Championship game ?

it would kill recruiting for the little guys like the sunbelt. you would almost have to let their champ compete for a spot somehow.

I hate the bowls. They are meaningless. The only thing that matters in the post season is who is the national champion. All the rest of this bowl crap is garbage.

Those of you that want a playoff:

Which one of you pays attention to college basketball in a month other than March?

When my team is good I pay attention the entire season.

Ask the Duke fans how much they pay attention. Ask UNC fans.

Auburn undefeated and not even in the championship game = EPIC FAIL


That was a bad deal. But it was AU so I think it is funny. But seriously.... be honest.. Do you really think AU would have stood a chance against USC? They beat OU that night like a drum. AU got lucky to beat us and we weren't that good.

Villanova winning the NCAA BB NC in 1985 was a bigger EPIC fail. They were not the best team in BB.

You guys definitely are rantarded. If CFB went to a playoff and let's say they took 8 teams, then the regular season would still have a major factor. You have got to think that only 2 SEC teams would get in, depending on the year, therefore you would have the "must win" attitude in every game.
Your life = Epic Fail

We aren't talking about the #32 ranked team getting into the playoffs. Maybe a playoff between the top 8 or less.

I can tell you with absolute honesty the only way to know is by playing the game. If you say otherwise then you're not being honest.

lol I thought this might get a reaction. Anyway if you guys really want a playoff, might as well turn into the NBA right?

Cuz here is how our season might go in the future with a playoff. loss to auburn, loss to alabama, loss to florida.

Does it matter? No, because were still in the playoffs and the regular season is now meaningless.




WRONG! Have you ever watched the UNC-DUKE games? Tell me those don't matter. Tell me those fans don't care because it's just a 'regular season' game. Of course those games still matter, the only thing that would change is that OUR WHOLE SEASON wouldn't be completely worthless if we didn't win those games. It would make those games matter if the tournament only had 8-16 teams.

Did you really type this? Every game would not be a must win if two SEC teams make it into a 8 team playoff. I think if two SEC teams were in the 8, one would have a loss. Perhaps my math is fuzzy there.

#1- No team that did not win it's conference should play for a NC. I know about OU and Nebraska but I think that got fixed.

#2- If you go with the above, A team from the Big 10 with 3 losses could be playing in the playoff and a team with 1 loss in the SEC could be left out.

#3- If you pick the 8 teams by BCS rank or polls there will be even more crying that now. 64 teams play in the NCAA tourney and after selection Sunday we get bombarded with "who got screwed". Hell there are 64 teams ahead of them and somehow they got screwed?

As for my life... It may be a fail but is damned sure not an EPIC FAIL

DID YOU REALLY TYPE THIS? What part of his comment didn't make sense to you? If we could only lose at most 1 game then why wouldn't ALL the games matter? Your points need a little help, #1 - TEXAS! They didn't win their conference because of a stupid rule in their conference and you can't honestly tell me that they didn't deserve it more than OU, they BEAT OU!. #2 - When is the last time a big ten team won their conference with 3 losses? I'll bet it either has never happened or it has been a long time, so that is irrelevant, although i do understand your concern with that conference but if someone from that conference HAS to make it, at least they aren't taking 1 of the 2 spots available for the NC. #3 - I do agree that there is crying in basketball and there would be in football, but as i stated before, at least you would have more teams that have a chance, that is all that we are wanting is for football to do what every other sport does in every other league - give teams, more than 2, a chance to play for the championship.

First, their rule isn't stupid. Second, OU deserved it more than Texas Tech and Texas.

Of course. Because obviously the only way to have a playoff is to invite every team with three losses or less.
