COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2012

[Supe]

I am wondering what are going to bleep about when NCAA finally implements the playoff system.

Instead of arguing who should be in the title game, we'll argue over which 1 loss team didn't get that #4 spot in the BCS standings, and consequently got screwed since "they totally could have beaten XYZ in the BCS championship."

Handled OU fairly well? It was a 5 point game and OU gave K-State 7 with a fumble on the 1 and also fumbled on our 1 yard line about to score. We had no business losing that game.

I didn't feel the same against Notre Dame. Although we didn't play our best, I feel that they were the better team. It was a tied ballgame until 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Turnovers didn't seal our fate.

And you aren't at all biased in your assessment, right?

Not at all!

I did admit that we weren't the better team against Notre Dame, which is hard enough.

People will be bitching to make it an 8 team playoff.

Since college football touts it's regular season as being so important ("every game matters") maybe we should implement a system where every game really does matter. Turn the college football season into a single elimination playoff. Every team has a scheduled first game of the season, if you lose that's your season over. Only the winners of week one advance to week two. This continues until there is only one team left, the NCAA football champion that year. Controversy solved!

I like that solution...to bad the schools wouldn't

 

[Boomer01 PE]

So you're pretty much saying a playoff.

 

[Supe]

It'd pretty much be the NCAA basketball tournament from week 1.

Then run a consolation bracket. After the 2nd loss, your school drops into a round-robin system to play out the rest of the season. The winner of the consolation bracket would then be allowed to challenge the winner of the championship bracket as long as their one loss did not come at the hands of the 1st or 2nd place finishers...

 

[Boomer01 PE]

The regular system will still have its importance. If you drop more than one game, there is a slim chance that you will be one of the teams in the playoff.

No! Losing is for losers. There should be no consolation for losers.

The only way to avoid the top 4 controversy is to add margin of victory to the BCS computer stats, take out the human vote, and stop whining about running up the score on South Dakota State Tech Junior Devry Community College.

I like the winner of every "real" conference playing some sort of playoff system after all the worthless bowl games, seeding could be by some AP or BCS Poll to get #1 seed, etc... If your a team that isnt in a conference or a "real conference" then tough ****.... :sniff:

South Dakota State Tech Junior Devry Community College.

I hear they're a real up & comer, don't take them too lightly

Listening to Mike and Mike on ESPN radio this morning, Mike Golic was just absolutely ranting about the fact that ND is still ranked 3rd despite having the highest strength of schedule. He is not a fan of the "eyeball test" and the human element of the current BCS. I think they're being held back because they've been over-hyped for years.

The problem with that are the teams who schedule 1AA teams to play out-of-conference verses the teams who schedule other BCS teams to play. Strength of schedule is more important in the new playoff format.

 

[Supe]

Yeah, but there's certainly a way they could take MOV and create a multiplier that factors in the opposing team's rank/SOS.

The only part of that I don't like, is that teams will leave the starting offense on the field late in a blow-out game and continue to throw instead of running out the clock. Sportsmanship is out the window. I know there's the whole "If you don't like it, get better" argument, but some of these smaller school might not ever get better.

Hell big schools can't even get better...perfect example the Illini

Is there a big difference in 55-7 than 70-7? Is it really that big a relief to the opponents when they're in there with 5 minutes to go getting embarrassed by third string instead of first string?

So I picked Wake Forest and Stanford. Not that I think that either team will win, but I do think the point spreads seem a little high...Wavering a little on Stanford, though.

Kind of on the fence about OU and WV, too. I think WV might have a chance...

I love Thanksgiving week.
