    The BCS is BS
    I hoped that after yesterdays games the BCS would take care of itself but it doesnt look like its going to be that way. I think that Cincinnati,TCU,and Boise St are just as deserving as Alabama and Texas if not more. Texas really should have lost their game last night because of Colt McCoy's bonehead play. He almost pulled a LSU. Cincinnati showed that they really are a great team with their big comeback win and I think right now they could beat Bama or Texas. TCU is another team that I think could beat Bama or Texas. Both Cincinnati and TCU are probably going to get snubbed and not play for the National Championship. At worst I would like to see them play each other because Bama and Texas will most likely play each other. Even if all this pans out which is not very likely,Boise St wont play anybody that is undefeated. With all that being said,Florida is pissed off and is gonna blow somebody out in their bowl game and hope its enough to get a share of the BCS title. I think if they played Bama 10 times they would win 8. They were just not the best team on that day. At some point the BCS has to find a way to at leas play one more game after the bowl games to have a real champion after all the dust settles. Division 2 has a playoff and the NFL does as well. Get it together guys and give the fans what they want. After all we pay everybodys check involved from the front office to the coaches to the concession stand workers. I am sick of it and hope its fixed soon. BET THE HOOK

        So just how would you decide which four teams, eight teams, 16-32-64 would make it into a playoff system? Will you just take eight or 16 conference winners into a playoff tournament? What are you going to do with independents, tell 'em tough luck? What about the scheduling, still going to allow schools just decide on their own which out of conference games they play?

          Texas will be murdered in the BCS. I'm licking my chops at the moment on a rare 10 dime play.

            How many more times must you go against Texas Pavy? What do you see that no one else sees?

                Eight team playoff is the only answer to the solution. Its good for everything else it will work here.

                  Cincy showed their stuff coming back from hell yesterday and TCU will hurt whoever they play in a bowl because they are pissed to net be playing for more. I am also not so sure that Boise doesnt belong in the mix. They were included no so long ago and stunned Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl and they look even better this year.

                      I went against them versus Nebraska. Give me one reason why I shouldn't unload on Bama.

                        I like 16 teams. Same format as 1aa or fbs or whatever they call it. Keep the ranking system as is. Even keep the bowl system, they more or less have the bowls ranked anyway. I don't see why the other bowls feel like they lose out somehow, who ever would watch the "MAACO Las Vega Bowl" is still gonna watch it regardless of whatever playoff system is in place.

                          And so I ask again, just how will either of you determine the eight or 16 teams that get in?

                            Haha.. So many great points WB.. A lot of guys wanna complain about the system, but cannot elaborate on the solution.. Glad to see someone's comments who has taken a few minutes to think about it..

                              +1. Texas is weak. Texas has been shutdown by the only 2 legit defenses it has played this year. Also waiting to unload on Bama but I'm worried about what they will do with the line. Hopefully Colt winning the Heisman (doesn't matter if he is weakest player to ever win) skews the line a lil bit in the horns favor. Anything under 7 I'm pounding though.

                                It is hard to remove personal biases in this discussion. A great comeback in a game is lauded by some and a luck-out by others.

                                Was Cinn comeback yesterday greatness or just luck or was Bama's victory over Aub luck or signs of what/who they really are?

                                  Will, thought I pretty clearly answered your question. Keep the system as is. Take the top 16. I even went as far as to say keep all the bowls

                                      cincy has no chance against bama, florida or even texas due their leaky defense that cant stop anybody, their offense is good but their D is their downfall and weakest link. I agree texas shouldnt be playing for the national champioship, and they'll have their team rolled by bama. I wish there were a 12 team or 8 team playoff, but until that the bcs.

                                      I only wish the computer favor tcu or cincy and leave texas out of the national champioship

                                        The national championship with Texas will have very low ratings. I would rather see TCU facing Bama. Texas is lucky to be in the BCS game and didn't deserve it over a better TCU team.

                                          how can you say alabama doesnt deserve it? They beat florida in a florida dominated stadium, won at ole miss they won plenty of games. Texas only beat two ranked teams all season pretty embarressing they dont even deserve to play alabama and it will show January 1st or whenever the BCS game is

                                            I had the opportunity to go watch the SEC championship game yesterday. The Alabama team is the class of football. Florida, did not simply have a bad game. They were outclassed. Florida lost some big weapons from last year on offense and it showed. Florida was weak all year. The only time they played outside the SEC East and played Arkansas they should have lost, but the referees bailed them out. The whole SEC East was down this year.

                                            All that aside.... I love reading people's comments that don't have a good understanding of football..... Florida returned all 11 starters on defense from last years national championship team. True one missed the game due to his drunkeness. Alabama dominated them for 60 minutes. No, TCU, CINCY,or any other of the teams named in the opening thread stand a chance..... That is a different game being played.

                                              I love the BCS.

                                              We need to do away with the Super Bowl and the NCAA 64 tourney.

                                              We need to vote in an NFL champ (Vikes would've won it when they were 15-1, Pats when they were 16-0) and do the same for the NCAA's. Duke would have another championchip or 2.

                                              Vote for a champion... don't play for it!

                                              We also need this in swimming. Take away the stop watches. Let's vote for the fastest swim.

                                              BCS is the most retarded fvcking way to determine a champion in all of sports.

                                                Same old same old every year.

                                                BCS is not perfect but TCU and Boise play weak schedules compared to the big boys. So does Cincy though not as weak as TCU and Boise.

                                                If TCU or Boise played in SEC they would have 2 or 3 losses. 2 if they were in the Big East or Big 12 (more other years, this is down yr for Big 12).

                                                I know Utah beat Ala in a big bowl last yr but Ala was numb, flat from losing to FLA and not going to BCS Championship Game. It is called a "consolation game" they could not get up for Utah and Utah was a sound club. If they were playing for $ 1,000 per point per man Alabams would have won by 30.

                                                Just like OKLA lost to Boise a few yrs ago, OKLA was not up for lower tier team.

                                                Playoffs would take too long and the bowls would not make money since fans would not know where their teams would play until one week beforehand. How do 20,000 fans from Iowa make arrangements (flights, hotels, take off work) to go to Pasadena 7 days after their team wins a playoff game?

                                                I could go on and on. Too bad your teams are in junior circuits. That is the way the cookie crumbles.

                                                    Forget about a playoff and a real champion.

                                                        I hoped that after yesterdays games the BCS would take care of itself but it doesnt look like its going to be that way. I think that Cincinnati,TCU,and Boise St are just as deserving as Alabama and Texas if not more. Texas really should have lost their game last night because of Colt McCoy's bonehead play. He almost pulled a LSU. Cincinnati showed that they really are a great team with their big comeback win and I think right now they could beat Bama or Texas. TCU is another team that I think could beat Bama or Texas. Both Cincinnati and TCU are probably going to get snubbed and not play for the National Championship. At worst I would like to see them play each other because Bama and Texas will most likely play each other. Even if all this pans out which is not very likely,Boise St wont play anybody that is undefeated. With all that being said,Florida is pissed off and is gonna blow somebody out in their bowl game and hope its enough to get a share of the BCS title. I think if they played Bama 10 times they would win 8. They were just not the best team on that day. At some point the BCS has to find a way to at leas play one more game after the bowl games to have a real champion after all the dust settles. Division 2 has a playoff and the NFL does as well. Get it together guys and give the fans what they want. After all we pay everybodys check involved from the front office to the coaches to the concession stand workers.

                                                        Sour grapes and assinine comments.......The Cincy and boise teams of the world are not in the same league as the big boys face it. That is the price of history and tradition or lack there of....If thier strenght of schedule was as good as other schools then they would get the respect of the upper tier. Tcu and Boise play each other in a BCS bowl which is progress for these schools. A short time ago that was unheard of.
