    Hey Collin.....Again, if you can do a much better job of presenting an idea of a playoff system, then by all means, show us how it's done. If not (or you just wanna continue your opinion that one shouldnt take place).... THEN SHUT THE HELL UP! Everyone else is presenting ideas and you're just crapping on everyone because you think you're right and we're all wrong. OK, if we're all wrong, the show us how it's done!

    The only reason I used the BCS for seeding purposes is because its the only thing out there to go by. A pattern, if you please. Im sorry, you dense dickhead, I just dont trust it to match two teams up unless they're the clear-cut best. In many years, it's left alot of doubt as to who should really be playing for the national championship versus those that were placed in the game. But again, it was used as a pattern.

    Rhetorical question, but exactly how stupid are you? I have repeatedly said that all playoff systems are a bad idea for college football. Personally I don't see how that is a difficult concept to grasp, but apparently it just won't sink through your skull.
    If you want to argue that the BCS ranks teams incorrectly, then you can't turn right around and use their system to rank your teams in their seeding. Come up with something you think is better, or else stop bitching about the way the BCS ranks teams.

    Rhetorical Answer: Not as stupid as you, since you can't come up with something better while continuing to bash those that have presented ideas. So step up to the plate prove yourself as smart or stop critcizing those that gave examples.

    Again, I never criticized that the BCS is a bad program. I've repeatedly said that I dont trust it to rank two teams to play for the national championship, especially when there are other teams that have a more valid claim to play for the national championship than those that were selected. With more teams involved and more games to play to determine a national champion with a playoff, the amount of doubt is greatly diminished as to who the best team(s) is/are. Again, championships should be settled on the field and not in the courts of a public opinion or from a computer. '

    But in the end, its my idea, so I'll put it together however I feel. And if you dont like it, kiss my pro-playoff ass.

    I've repeatedly said that the current BCS system is better, you idiot. I honestly don't even understand what else you want me to say. I am not fluent in moron. I've said that playoffs are a bad idea, and yet you keep challenging me to come up with an idea for a good playoff. Again, all playoffs are bad, at least in terms of identifying the "best team." All. Even the BCS title game introduces a sizable chance that the better team won't win, although the chances are much less than when you increase the field of entrants. The playoff format itself is the problem.
    I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the degree of your stupidity. It's just embarrassing, it really is. It bothers me to think that we're the same species, that we share so much DNA. It makes me wonder what really separates us, and if I could have ended up as stupid as you are just by tiny changes in genetics. That's actually downright scary.

    If you don't trust the BCS to tell you who the top two teams are, then you shouldn't use the BCS rankings to give out the top two seeds in your system. That's something even an idiot like you should be able to understand. Good grief.
    Actually the opposite is true, as I explained in the other thread. The probability of any one team winning an elimination format decreases enormously every time you add a round, regardless of who the team is or how good you think they are.

    But his idea is to keep the BCS, so he has his idea you just don't like it. Why would he come up with a playoff if he thinks a playoff is a bad idea?

    Because all he's done is criticize the playoff idea and those that have presented ideas to have one. I could care less what his opinions are, but since that's all he's done is criticize those that support the playoff while not coming up with something better, I've repeatedly challenged him to come up with something better. And he can't (or won't). In my book, that's a chicken.

    My idea is keeping the BCS also, but its being used to seed the teams in a tournament instead of putting two teams in the title game, especially when there are better teams that have had a higher claim to be in the game than one team or both that was placed in it by the BCS & the Selection Committee. And there's no denying it, throughout the past 10 years of the BCS, there has been plenty of controversy to go around. And yes, there has been years, like this year, where the BCS got it right with the two best teams in America playing for the National Championship.

    So, you're asking a person who said that they are satisfied with the system in place to come up with a system to replace it and when they wont, because they are satisfied with the system in place, you think they are chicken?

    Look, I'd rather have a playoff as well, but what kind of argument are you looking for? You should just tell him the get the fuck out of your thread if he doesn't like playoffs instead of asking him to propose an alternative when his alternative is the BCS as it is.

    The BCS is better. The BCS is better. The BCS is better. The BCS is better. How many more times do I need to say that before you understand it? Take Powerbait's advice and shut the fuck up because you're humiliating yourself with such mind-boggling stupidity.
    Why would you need more teams included if the rankings were accurate? You wouldn't. And if you insist that the rankings are not accurate, which you have said repeatedly, then it's idiotic and hypocritical to then use those rankings to seed the teams in your tournament. You are making a fool of yourself.
