With the BCS, every game is a playoff??????

Also, the BCS encourages the scheduling of cupcake games, which deminish the value of the regular season.

Wait, you just complained about TCU and Boise not getting in and then argue it ENCOURAGES cupcake games?

You want to know which game eliminated Boise last year? Answer: The 12 cupcakes they played

Guys... I am saying that the BCS deminishes the regular season by rewarding us for scheduling cupcakes. Also, I am saying that people claim that "every week is a playoff," when this is simply not the case.

A playoff system should be implimented.

How does the BCS reward cupcakes, when by your first post you show that teams that play weaker schedules are left out?

no it doesn't, it was cupcakes that kept Auburn out in 04, it was cupcakes that killed USC in 2007 and 2008, and its cupcakes that hurt Boise and TCU.

There is a 2 team playoff implemented at the end of the season. The 2 best teams from the regular season are invited to participate.

LSUMATT. I know you have the BCS figured out like the back of your hand, but step back and take a look at the BCS for what it is.

2004 - USC (preseason #1) Oklahoma (preseason #2). Auburn (preseason #17 writers and #18 with coaches). All three teams went undefeated. So you are saying that USC and OK were definitely the best two teams?

I would have rather seen a playoff where all teams prove themselves against one another than use the logic that "well since OK and USC were ranked #1 and #2 going into the season and didnt lose, they deserve to play for the championship. But Auburn doesn't since they weren't voted high enough in the preseason rankings." That, my friend is pure foolishness, and it is exactly how the BCS works.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

hard to say, but they did play better schedules, the unbiased computers gave those 2 the edge.

FWIW, I'd prefer a 4 team playoff to the current set up, but rather the current BCS to any larger playoff like 8 or 16.

USC and OK did not play tougher schedule than Auburn. Sorry pal

Wouldn't that encourage teams to play cupcakes, go undefeated, and automatically reach the "playoffs"?

MATT!! I respect what you do here. BUT..... A ONE game DEAL is what the NCAA is looking for to SHUT PEOPLE UP.

yes they did pal. The irony is the only reason you disagree is based on nothing but your own subjective view. The unbiased computers and SOS formulas say other wise.

As a fan do you enjoy watching LSU destroy teams like ULM and McNeese? The fans don't enjoy it, the players don't care about the game, and LSU has nothing to win by playing those teams.

However, with the BCS in place they will continue to play cupcakes to keep their records unblemished.

Have you seen LSU's OOC Basketball schedule? What in the world makes you think a playoff would have LSU schedule 4 powerhouses OOC? Cupcakes have always and will always exists for a variety of reason. Under the current system, a terrible schedule can kill you, with a playoff it would not, depending on the type of playoff you institute.
