if this was the year the BCS was finally used to seed an 8 team playoff.

Just how much excitement would national championship hopes add to our season and 30 other teams' seasons if they were still alive.

We can always dream of something like that. It would be awesome...kinda like all of the late-season hope generated by MLB's wildcard.

Of course it would be exciting, but how exciting would the Cal, Florida, and Georgia games have been if we knew there was a playoff to fall back on?

Would you be able to fall back on it if you lost to Cal, Florida and Georgia?

Would love to see a playoff. Every other sport on earth has it except college football.:blink::banghead2:

Hogwash Swil. It is obvious that the 2 teams playing for a title should be voted on. I mean look at the preseason top 10 polls, these people know what they are doing.

i honestly am hoping that you are joking. These people are taking shots in the dark at the beginning of the season, If you would suggest to one of them that Kentucky would be in the top 10 along with South Carolina and USF, they would tell you to go drink another one.

and this talk of lower seed teams etc, in college football, you have to step on the field and play 60 minutes just like everyone else. If you are a top seed team and falter in the first round, then obivously you arent the best team because you goofed up, it works in every other sport, and every other level of CFB. the only reason its not in place in I-A is the money the schools get from the bowl games. That is the honest-to-God truth.

You wouldn't get that in football. You'd get a bunch of 35-10 first round games. In a playoff, lesser teams would not get the advantage of catching a team looking ahead or being unfocused. All it would add is a weekend or two of mediocre games, played mostly by teams that hadn't earned the right to compete for the National Title. NC State won the ACC tounament to get into the field in 1983. George Mason was the Colonial regular season champ.

Yeah, I guess. When they expanded that damn basketball tournament to 64 it got way out of hand.

yes, as a matter of fact, it was. to the point where #65 bitched enough to where there is now a play in game.

and there is still talk of expanding it yet again......


the same would happen if rankings/seedings were used in football.

you don't win your conf., you don't deserve to play for a national title, period.

I don't get why some teams get "voted" into this one game and more importantly why it is fair or accurate in any way.

Last year's championship game was a perfect example of this: a highly overrated Ohio State team and a Florida team who was lucky to even make it because a lot of the "experts" were wanting a rematch of OSU and Michigan. Cut out all of the variables, let the best teams play it out on the field.

No doubt. I stretched your premise a little. But just making the point that the idea that there are always 4 teams out there head and shoulders above the rest is not true and also upsets would happen. An 8 or a 7 would beat a 2 or 1. Some years there may be 1 really dominant team and a bunch of pretenders. Some years there may be 6 reasonable contenders. My life isn't deteriorating because of the way CFB is set up right now. I just don't see why anyone would have a backlash to the idea of a playoff.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me a single year in which more than 4 teams deserved a shot at the National Title once the bowls were over. Oh, that's right. They can't because such a season doesn't exist. People who propose a playoff are doing nothing more than trying to NFLize college football and turn the most meaningful regular season in sports into nothing more than a warmup for a tournament.

Count me in. Plus one is easily the most logical and the most likely compromise.
