College football playoff

probably true, why? because it would be the biggest game of their season. it's easy to get up for one or two games a year particurally when you factor in injuries. not so easy to run the table in a major conference.

I am saying people should get a chance on the field, to a reasonable degree. 6 major conference champions and 2 at large, is reasonable to me.

Why should this year's ACC champion get a shot at anything? That's why I have no use for a playoff.

It is not about looking at any one individual year and saying, well this year that would be useless. If they are so bad then no one has to worry about them winning it. Not going to hurt anyone. If they are so bad, they will bow out week one and their business is done. The Big 10 got into the NC game last year and that was certainly a joke.

As Auburn's win over UF was last year. The current system allows for losses to be rendered meaningless.

only because USC lost to UCLA......

gosh, that almost sounds like a playoff.

if there were a playoff last year, that UCLA/USC tilt wouldn't have mattered. as it is, it did.

Great, glad to hear they win meaningless bowl games. What is everyone's record against SEC teams in BCS title games?

Meant for Droski.

you simply can't beat the week and week out drama of the college footbal regular season. no other major sport comes close. and you have the BCS to thank for that.

Disagree with that. College football was the best sport to me pre-BCS. It didn't create it.

in it's current format, the regular season has never mattered more. before the BCS it mattered, because you had to win your conf. to go to a "major" bowl. but there was no system to determine a national champion. each bowl had it's conf. tie ins and if #1 was in the Big 10 and # 2 was in the Big 8 or SEC or ACC, they never play one onther. not true today, and that's the difference.

The problem is you obviously got an overhyped historic program from a very bad conference playing for the title.

hindsight being what it is, it's easy to come back today and say this, but going in to the game last year, if memory serves, OSU was favored.

that is why they play the games afterall.

Again, part of my point. It was obvious how drastically wrong these people were. But the system had OSU as the no brainer for the title game, the second entrant was the bigger question at the time.

Exactly where are the folks who knew Ohio State wasn't worthy of playing in the title game? I guess they all parlayed their prescience into early retirement.

I just said they were wrong, never said they or anyone knew better. They took up 50% of the field in a championship tournament. The system is wrong.

I suggest you not recommend viewing habits to me. Zero is the number of times I thought about the BCS while watching these games:

UT v Cal
Auburn v. USF
UK v. LSU
UF v. LSU
USC v. Stanford
every game I have watched this year.

To add further, I enjoy the SEC race more than the national race. There is no voting on the SEC participants in Atlanta. Unless some complex tiebreaker is necessary, the rules to get to Atlanta are fairly simple.

I enjoy college football, the actual games played. While I disagree with the system for determining the champion, it does not change my love for the game.
