BREAKING NEWS: BCS set to install playoff system; as early as NEXT YEAR

[tru_m.a.c]

if you make it a 4 game playoff, #5 and 6 go "waaaah what about me"

if you make it an 8 game playoff, 9 and 10 go "waaaah what about me"

you make it 16, you have to make it 20....and it never stops

someone has to be the adult in the room and say, "look you all can't win....stfu...the free market has spoken and we're tired of these butt ass bowl games"

 

[Ekscape]

so then you're allowing the playoffs to come down to

1. your preseason ranking
2. your schedule

why don't you allow to be all of the conference championship winners + 2 wild cards aka the 2 best teams that didn't win the conference championship???

give the 2 top teams from the 2 top conferences a bye week

then have a random selection to see who the 2 wild card teams play

Nope, if you win your games you're gonna get in that top 4 no matter where you started off pretty much... the BCS ranking system isn't as flawed as people try to make it out to be look at the past years the top 2 teams pretty much always end up playing each other; a couple years the 3 seed tries to make a case but the rankings at the end of the season are good... If you're ranked #10, win your games and you can bet you'll be ranked in the top 4 at the end of the year; four undefeated teams in not gonna happen

 

[Ekscape]

This year it woulda been:

LSU
Alabama
Oklahoma State
Stanford

would the fifth seed Oregon really make a case?... fuck no, they had two loses and one to SC (unranked... damn good... but unranked)

I like the top 4 idea, keep the bcs ranking system, if you're ranked at #10 win your fkn games and you'll get in

 

[greenwood1921]

All that needed to happen was for the BCS to fail financially.

It ain't a coincidence that this is popping up after the lowest rated BCSCG in history.

And then they made the dumb ass mistake of letting two teams in the same region and conference play.

The most profitable thing about college bowl games is the chance to showcase two good teams who wouldn't otherwise play each other. Thus drawing in different types of fans as well as purists. That abortion last night didn't appeal to nobody but SEC fans.

A four game bracket is most likely, and as long as the ratings are good, it won't matter who's "mad" about.

Whole country been "mad" about CFB's title-system (or lack thereof) for decades and what good did that do?

 

[Ekscape]

I agree with tru mac

it's needs to be the best of each conference coming to a 16 game playoff so we can cut the bullshit

let these kids play 15 games.................and they need to paid cash

do away with preseason rankings, whatever rank you had at the end of the season should be your new rank coming in next year

I also think they should consider NFL vs. College exhibition games as well

Nigga, you do realize these are kids in college; they ain't gonna extend the post season that damn long to have a 16 team playoff; or they'd have to cut back to season drastically and also you gotta realize they have pretty much the whole month of December off; i'm telling you it will come down to a top 4 team playoff maybe... and I mean a big maybe a top 8 team which is doubtful...

Also... NFL vs. College exhibition games?... HELLL NAW LOL AHAHAHAHAHA...This is football, a full contact sport... those kids will get killed out there, it won't even be close I think you're overstating the skill level of some of these college teams... The Colts from this year will blow Alabama away with ease... with ease

 

[GoodSiqMoney]

its deeper than money

its pretty much a bunch of ball coddling going on

i find it funny and hypocritical, that the same generation that calls us the participation trophy kids, is the same generation that is HANDING OUT FUCKN PARTICIPATION BOWL GAMES

every teams wants to go into the recruiting year saying "well we played in *insert bowl game*"....every team wants to end the season on a high note....and its just fuckn lame

u play to win the game, you don't play so everyone goes home happy....everyone is trying to skew their true records....if you have a playoff it exposes everyone's bloated collegiate histories as one big sham

cause it doesn't fuckn matter if you own your conference anymore, it doesn't fuckn matter if you beat your rivals every year....cause when the season end, there is only 1 fuckn winner and no consolation prizes

a bunch of fuckn babies are running college football right now

rofl
true shit

as a recruit, your not gonna get me to be hyped up about your program because you went 7-6 and played in the

Meineke Car Care Bowl
or
The PapaJohns. com bowl
or
Godaddy. com bowl
or
Beef o brady bowl

no,
its not gonna happen

nfl players >>>> collegiate players FOR THE MOST PART

but the 2011 colts, no, i cant, i jus cant see them mollywopping Bama

if anything i could imagine a hard fought game

you are fkn crazy man... damn you dudes are on crack; Alabama got like 7-8 nfl prospects on it's team versus a NFL team, the elite of college players, Bama probably wouldn't even be able to hold the ball more then .5 secs after the snap; Curtis Painter will be looking like 2007 Tom Brady out there... you know what fuck it i'm not even gonna make this argument; good day sir

simply not true...and again, you're still depending on a team winning out....only in college football can you penalized for not being perfect......

and then complain about weak schedules

it matters 1) where you start the season and 2)what week of the season you lose

This year it woulda been:

LSU
Alabama
Oklahoma State
Stanford

The top 4 teams you put up were the top 4 teams AFTER the conference championship games. The only reason alabama was ranked as the #2 team is because they didn't have to play a game to get into the nat'l championship AND oklahoma state lost too close to the nat'l championship game. That's what the serious flaw is with the BCS that nobody wants to admit.

Because when a team loses in the first few weeks, then rebounds, everyone uses the "they needed to get it together but now they're a better team" excuse. If you lose in the last few weeks, you can pretty much kiss your nat'l championship game goodbye.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Nigga, you do realize these are kids in college; they ain't gonna extend the post season that damn long to have a 16 team playoff; or they'd have to cut back to season drastically

let see....they start spring practices in late february/early march

play through the summer

regular season through the fall

bowl games into the first week of january

what exactly are we complaining about???

 

[tru_m.a.c]

I also think they should consider NFL vs. College exhibition games as well

I'd totally be down for a nfl vs college exhibition

if they did away with the 3 weeks of non play, they could easily fit in a playoff format

 

[bigev240]

I will believe this shit when I see it.

You and me both.

Shit, that game even bored us to sleep

 

[Focal Point]

I'd like an eight-team playoff myself, but I'd be content with a four-team one.

16 teams is waay too much.

indeed sir indeed

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Dude you are COMPLETELY WRONG... Oklahoma state didn't not get in the Nat'l Chip gain cause "they lost to close to the Natl Chip Game" but because they fkn lost to an unranked Iowa state and Alabama lost to to LSU who was already ranked #1 in the nation... and Alabama and Oklahoma state loses were only a week apart... And those were the top four teams even before the conference championship games what are you talking about?...

It was not debatable that those were the top four teams stop reaching...

you have no idea what you're talking about....check this out go do some research then come back and respond

Alabama coach Nick Saban voted Oklahoma State No. 4 in his ballot for the coaches poll. Saban's Crimson Tide edged OSU in the final BCS rankings, which put Alabama in the national title game against LSU

Last night, his team got into the National Championship game over OSU by the slimmest margin ever

His Alabama team finished second above Oklahoma State by 0.0086 points

do you even realize how small of a margin that is???

There's no way in hell you can objectively put Stanford above OSU. The Cowboys won what was the best conference in the country statistically. They played the eighth-toughest schedule whereas Stanford played the 64th-toughest.

I rest my case

edit: and if you wanna come back saying "but but Saban only had 1 vote!!!!"

"The Coaches Poll counts for 33% of the BCS rankings. Since it's comprised of 59 coaches, Saban's individual ballot counted for 0.5% of the final BCS ranking"

mac, what do you think of my idea for BCS playoffs..

 

[tru_m.a.c]

- If you going to make the regular season count, do so but with this caveat(s):

- ONLY, and ONLY, conference champions are QUALIFIED for BCS Playoffs

-have a separate ranked poll for all conf. winners, use that poll to determine seeding of teams

-take a hint from March Madness : put teams in the opposite geographical regions for playoff games (hence Big East would have to play in a Pac 10 venue, etc)

- also all teams play on a warm weather site OR in a dome (in terms of fairness)

- the NTL championship game itelf ; home and vistors will be determined who is the highest ranking seeding left --- highest seeding will be HOME team.

I agree with everything else. Especially the conf championship idea, but you do have to throw a bone in for the alabama's of the world. Or you can just force every conference to remove their subdivisions to avoid a problem.

oh and all the small teams are gonna cry foul if you make the regular season TOO important....who is gonna play the citadels of the country if they have to constantly play top ranked teams to make it to the conference championship???

A playoff would be so much simpler if we didn't have 100+ d1 football schools

 

[tru_m.a.c]

I fucks with it though....how many teams are you trying to incorporate???

 

[Swiffness!]

GOD IS GREAT!

allahu akbar!

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Sticky this thread mods.

Thank you for wising up BCS. Boise State will finally be exposed

lol no they wouldn't

this shit would be perfect for Boise

they'd expose the big 10/big east and ACC
