Oh goodness. What does that say? Keep making stuff up, you are practically arguing against yourself.

what does it take to get it through your head? you only need equal schedules when you claim the regular season is the playoff which is what everyone who defends the BCS claims.

Check the year 2004. Do you think we would have been included in the playoffs? The answer is no. Guess who would have been whining. The answer is you.

Why would UT have had any reason to complain? We lost to a horrible Notre Dame team.

You seem to think the wanting of a playoff is so UT can get in it. Has nothing to do with it.

uhhh we have a system like that for every major sporting event in this country, MLB, NBA, NFL, college baseball, college basketball, etc. The only sport where people whine about who should play for the championship is college football. is that clear now????????

but your not getting that wanted result in a playoff either... Tennessee goes 11-2 but misses out of the playoff because of their conceived "tough" schedule while 1 loss louisville and wvu make it in their conceived "weak" schedule and the whining then commences.

Here are the top thread titles when we go to a playoff system:

* The SEC always gets screwed in the seeding

* I can't believe the SEC only got one team in

* Can you believe they made us play in Dallas but USC got to lay in Pasadena?

* Notre Dame always gets a high seed

* ESPN manipulates the seeding

* Who should replace CPF?

The selection process for those playoffs is not nearly as complicated and controversial as it would be for college football. You would need the BCS formula or something similar in order to select the participants.

You here stuff like that in the NCAA basketball tournament, but no one ever argues who the National Champion is.

But would you be happy with 3 or 4 teams that have the same record as UT getting in the playoffs, but not the Vols? That's just one example I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure a fan of any major college football program could recall a similar instance.

I can't think of a single season since I've been watching college football that the "and 1" system woudn't have removed all doubt. Some years, for example, 1980, 1998, and 2000, no further games were needed.

I don't care about equal schedule. You brought it up. Personally I think it would be almost as idiotic as a college football playoff selection would be controversial.

Would I be happy, no. But that scenario gives UT a better chance of at least competing for a NC as well as all those other teams, compared to the current "system".

i wouldn't mind that and one system. i just don't like the idea of the complete playoff. doesn't solve enough for college football

I think the "and 1" idea is the only feasible "playoff" scenario I've heard at this point.

I think this could all be solved by just going to a "Plus 1" format. The argument is hardly ever over who is #1, but rather who is #2.

every major sporting event in the country is decided by a playoff except college football. I never hear anyone complaining at the end except that their team lost.

It wouldn't be long before UT, and the others that got screwed would be calling for a change.

Look at all those great minds touting a Plus 1 system all at the same time.

That's what I'm saying. Can you think of single season in recent memory where one more game wouldn't have eliminated all discussion?

Those playoffs have clearcut participants. It wouldn't be like that for college football.

Nope . . . There are hardly ever more than 3 teams that have a legitimate argument.
