Proposed Division I-A National Playoffs (by me...haha)

Choosing however many teams from teh BCS rankings to select the playoff teams is the best way to find out who is number one, period.

If you want it to be the top 4,8,16, 32 or whatever then so be it.

Anybody who thinks the current system is better is just wrong. The whole a team has one bad game and is out thing is crazy. That can happen under either scenario, season long or playoffs. If a team has one slip up that could knock them out of the race during the season.

This shit of 3 or 4 teams being undefeated or one undefeated team with several one loss teams shit, just doesn't cut it. The current system is very flawed.

 

It whittles down to the group of better teams based on consistancy and then makes them figure it out on the field. The point isn't to get the teams ranked 1 & 2 to play it's to get the teams who should be ranked 1 & 2 to play.

 

Thanks for dropping a nuclear bomb on your credibility. I'm pretty sure I no longer have to worry about anyone taking you seriously, so I appreciate you saving me from further effort.

 

And the only way that is possible is to have the top two remaining teams from a full regular season schedule play each other when the season is over, as is done in the current system. Having a playoff would almost always eliminate the #1 or #2 teams or both, as innumerable playoffs have shown in various sports throughout the year. Whether an obviously better team has a bad day or the inferior team just matches up really well or the inferior team just got some lucky breaks, the teams that should be #1 and #2 almost never meet in any playoff.

 

Maybe, but it would be entertaining.

 

That's very possible. As I noted, the absolute best argument for a playoff is that it obviously makes for great television.

 

Screw you and the :bananalam you rode in on. You need some common sense, cause you ain't got any. Common sense says you hold a tournament to decide the best team, not let it stay in jumbled mess.

If a higher seed, who is picked to win the national title, was beaten by a lower seed, that lower seeded team was indeed better than that higher ranked team. They may not have been favored, but they had what it took to knock them out. And that's the name of the game in a winner takes all tournament...Winning. The best team will be the one that finishes on top of the mountain. Not who was picked by the media or a computer.

"He who dies with the most toys....Still dies."

Or in layman's terms: "A team with the most weapons that gets beat by an inferior team in a tournament, still loses and was beaten by the better team."

 

Do like basketball...
take 64 teams .. it only takes 6 weeks ...begin first weekend in December and play the championship 2nd week in January...
If thats to long take 32 teams and play like they do now the first week in January...
of course this would all have to wait for sevearl more years... Doesnt the BCS have a new contract...

 

Dude, we already established that the basketball tournament DOESN'T WORK. It might make for the best drama (which is a fine argument to make, as I said), but it doesn't result in legitimate champions. It took 60+ years for the NCAA tournament to give us a #1 vs. #2 match-up, whereas the BCS has given us that in most of its years of existence. Now either the pollsters are so stupid that last season was the first time in 60 years that they figured out who the two best college basketball teams actually were, or tournaments suck at determining who actually is the best team.

And all the BCS whiners should note that we would not get to see the game of the century (USC vs. Texas) without the BCS. No system will ever be perfect no matter how much some simple-minded people insist that it will, but this year the BCS worked. Of course, people love to bitch and whine so they do it about the BCS just like they do about everything else.

 

Now you just dropped the cobalt bomb on your credibility.

Last year, UNC proved your theory to be bullshit cause they were the best in the land and they proved it in the playoffs.
