I don't know what they run...a spread I guess?

I hate that gooofy gimmick offense.


I just can't see them finishing in front of SP,OSU,Iowa,MSU....and even maybe NW,MINN and Illinois.

Sure, but NW finished 4th and Purdue just sucks... I had them behind State Penn and Hang On Sloopy, but ahead of Idowa and MiSt(ake), which I guess is debatable although I'll take the Smurfs on a neutral field against those two. Like I said I think they'd do better in the no-defense Pac-10 than the BT where teams would just run it down their throat.

other than $$, why can't they just have a 16 team playoff like every other division of collegiate football?
11 conf champs and 5 at large?
bowls games already take chump teams (my UK wildcats), they can keep them.
give us a playoff!!

16 teams is too many... too many games for college football IMO... too much possibility for for injury and also finals are usually in December - these boys need time to be students not just athletes.

8 teams is plenty

12 at most (NFL style with top 4 bcs rates get byes)

the other divisions play 16 teams! they miss way less time that basketball players. they'd start playoffs the second weekend in dec after the conference championships and in 4 weeks they'd be done the first or second weekend in jan. cut the regular season back to 10 or 11 games. that would get those terrible out of conference games and 1AA teams off the schedule. the ncaa would make a FREAKING Mint!!! just like march madness. it's just not that tough!

3rd week in Dec to 2nd week in January would work. Finals done by middle or end of next week.

i guess that could work... but do you really feel 16 teams makes sense? I think 8 teams will definatly give you the best team in college fb.

I also dont see how more than 8 teams deserve to play for a National Championship. I also dont agree with the winners of each conf.. there are some REAL bad conf's out there.

Amen to eliminating the creampuff filler. Cut the season shorter.
