Just moved to Oregon and hoping there is a good place to watch the LSU game. Salem, Portland, Eugene, Bend, doesn't matter. Anyone know of a good spot?

Sunglasses on the cows that stand up at the end with a "deal with it" would be pretty awesome.

No, I missed my train and I am this running late. Time has my permission to run at a snails pace!

Sound like a plan! Geaux Tigers!

Wife and I are making our first trip to Legends in NYC to watch the game. I hear it's a good place for LSU fans. Anyone else here been there/plan on going?

So you want to penalize teams because their conference has no title game. You have just eliminated half of the field before the season starts

Yes. This is meant to quell the cries of teams like Boise State and other non-automatic qualifiers. I think that in this day and age there is a correlation between the strength of a conference and whether or not they have a conference championship. Also this would serve as an incentive for more conferences to create championship games, leveling the playing field.

If they go to Atl and lose to a GA team on a fluke, they are out.

You are correct sir.

What if the 3 and 4 team have a controversy, do they then play?

No, because if I understand what you are saying then there is no controversy on who is number 2. Since this is only meant to figure out who belongs in the NC, figuring out who is 3 and 4 would be a moot point.

I know that I am probably a little late to the prom on this, but I've been trying to think of a way that would solve the BCS system without having to entirely scrap our current bowl system, but would offer a compromise to those that wish to see a playoff system.

First, let me say that I understand that this doesn't solve all of the problems with the BCS. There are still potential problems with the way the BCS rankings are computed, but it seems that years where the BCS seems to fail it is due to trying to figure out who the number 2 team should be in the NC.

That said, this is what I am thinking:

1.) To qualify, a team must be in a conference that has a conference championship.

2.) A team must win their conference.

3.) In the event that there is "controversy" between the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams, an additional game should be played on the field of higher ranked team within 14 days of completion of their conference championships.

My logic is that since the majority of problems come from placing the #2 and #3 teams, playing an additional game when there is not a consensus on who should play for the BCS NC would settle that and would act as a semi-final.

Thoughts?

btw- this is my first post on the rant, looking forward to posting a whole lot more!

Here's my first shot at a fark. Only made sense to start with this one.
