I hope missouri wins and screws up the bs some more. In the end I don't want to hear anyone claim their champ this year if they lost. If utah and boise state win their bowl games, their co champs in my book. Screw you sooner and gator fans!
If there was a playoff system then you would never see a boise st. or utah win the championship. Ever.

Cool Ever hear of villanova 85 bball champs!

Whatever. Yeah the underdog never wins it all. Villanova won the basketball championship in 85. No one gave them a chance. Man can you imagine if the bcs ran the basketball tournament, they would have given it to gtown why play the game. Also nc state. But yeah you stay stuck on that. Anyone in any game can beat anyone in college football just like in basketball. Who thought duke would lose to michigan today? Thats whats great about basketball and so sad about football. Their is now 34 bowl games! That is a joke. Rewarding teams on bad seasons getting to go to a warm climate and play in a joke of a bowl game. Example is wisconsin they don't deserve to be in a bowl game. So you keep dreaming the little guy couldn't win. How do you know they aren't given the chance by these bs idiots!

Nobody said that they COULDN'T win it. But football is very different from basketball. In a one-game scenario, sure, they could pull an upset. In a playoff series, it becomes increasingly unlikely that they would get anywhere near a championship. They are much better off taking the huge money that comes from making a BCS game and running with it and possibly ending their really good seasons with bowl game wins instead of being a possible first or second round playoff casualty.

Or BYU winning the NC by winning the '84 Holiday Bowl over a 6-5 Michigan. The only way that happened is with the "Bowl System". If there is a playoff, BYU doesn't make it out of the second round.

Arrogant bastard wants me to congratulate Florida when they stepped on our god damn player at the end of the game and Spikes took a hit on our QB. F.uck Florida and their jort-wearing fans.

You also were a facemask penalty away from losing both of your bets, douchenozzle.

To piss of bs meier should say sorry we lost and utah and boise state should play for championship. They haven't lost! Great point about byu by the way. Little guy can't win unless given chance!

My point about BYU was that it was a complete bull.s.hit national championship. I was not agreeing with you in any way shape or form. If a playoff system exists, BYU doesn't sniff the NC in '84. If there is a playoff this year, Utah and Boise don't stand a chance to win more than once before being bounced.

USC, Okalahoma, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Texas Tech, Penn State......etc....>>>>Boise and Utah.

The problem tha i have with the current system is that if these teams like Utah and Boise dont have a chance to win the title then why are they in the same division? make a super division 1 with all the power conferences and have seperate playoffs or whatever. While there is no doubt they would be unlikely to be undefeated in bigger conferences what else can those teams do except win every game? Unlike the NCAA tourney in basketball, football is settled with ridiclous computer polls and opinions, rather than the results on the field. The perfect example is Texas beats OK, Texas Texh beat Texas, Ok beats Texas Tech. Who is better? Why should what you or I or anyone else thinks matter? A playoff will settle matters. It isnt about who is the "best" team or who would win the most if they played 100 times. It is about winning the game on the field. Naturally there would be some controversy about who gets in and the 9th and 10th teams will cry but there has to be a cut off somewhere. This isnt 1970 anymore where a few teams are vastly superior to everyone else and carry 125 scholarship players. Just about anyone can beat anyone on a given day and to not have a playoff system is unfair to everyone. The reasons given against the system are so ludicrious that I cant believe that they are made with a straight face. The Conferences like the Pac 10 and Big 10 that hold it up should simply be excluded from a system until they drop thier opposition. If the SEC, Big 12, ACC, Big East, Wac, Mountain west, Conference USA and MAC all joined together to have a seperate playoff system the Big 10 and Pac 10 would be screwed and have to join in. I still dont see why the "bowls" have so much power over college football when they arent even part of the NCAA or any of the schools.

one problem with the current system is that there is still a bias towards certain schools/regions due to their tradition and history-it explains why osu (for example)begins the season practically every year ranked very high. it also explain why just a couple of years ago, many wanted a rematch between osu/mich in the title game, rather than fla getting in.
if utah and boise st want to get more recognition, they can begin by changing their schedules in future, and taking on some tougher non-conference opponents. they are currently considered the 'peppers pride' of bcs football. if they want to fight amongst the supposed power houses, they can help control their destiny. BUT, they still fight an uphill battle, because ratings still matter-witness osu possibly getting a bcs bowl, rather than the higher-ranked utah.

and for anyone still wondering why the current system is in place, and seemingly unchangeable--i recommend finding the dec 1 issue of SI, and reading the article titled 'ka-ching!' by terry mcdonnell.

When they start not paying bets based on what might have happened, we'll all be in trouble won't we?
