Oh I forgot that game was for the national championship. Silly me. I better freshen up on my reading comprehension out here in tobacco country.

Look I know the highlight of living in potato country is the occasional potato festival and boise st. football but that doesn't change the fact that a playoff system would, at most, yield two championships from s.hit conferences in the span of a century.

Congratulations to Utah though. That was, and will continue to be, the biggest win in the history of their school.

Listen...you are right as you usually are, but the simple facts are, that every blue moon a non-BCS conference yields a team that can compete week in and week out with the big boys. And those teams could even win two weeks in a row in a playoff system and if things fell right even three weeks in a row. I have no doubt of that. You are of the opinion that if it happens only once in 30 years it should not even be attempted. That is fine. I simply disagree. I think a playoff would work. I think in a 16 team playoff those from non BCS conferences would lose first round over 50 percent of the time...but would win first round quite a bit and 2nd round a good chunk as well.

I see no evidence that TCU couldn't be competetive with any team in the country this year. I see no evidence that Boise State couldn't play competetively with any team in the country. I'm a Penn State grad. So I'm jaded, their corpse on the sidelines has clamored for a playoff for about 40 years now as they were once the non-BCS team who couldn't compete either before such things existed. There's always been the non-entities in college football. Penn State was that for years and years in the 60s and 70s. It's just on ESPN now and called non BCS teams.

16 team playoff is too much..

8 teams maximum... you cant extend the season too too much..

8 teams is all ya need really.

SEC Champ
ACC Champ
Pac 10 Champ
Big East Champ
Big Ten Champ
Big 12 Champ
and two at large.. this year should be TCU and Boise/FL

I don't think the ACC and Big East should get automatics.

It doesn't really matter in the end. We know they at least got one team playing in the national championship this year right? Can you really ask for much more than that? The BCS is working. Every other sport in every other division in the NCAA has it wrong. It would have been easier just to place Montana and Villanova in the championship game instead of going through this confounded playoff. They were the top two seeds anyway. IF they both win this weekend, the 1-AA playoff was a waste of time and they could have done it BCS style.

Boo this man!
The Big East was pretty damn good this year. Cincinnati will have their hands full with Florida obviously but I wouldn't be surprised if they go 5-1 in the bowls this year.


As for matching up TCU and Boise, totally ghey but basketball did this the last two years after George Mason- check the first round matchups, if at all possible the most dangerous mid-majors were paired (not a coincidence despite the committee's claims.) The BCS schools have interests to protect.
