Yeah, and I figured that could happen. It just that WVU was what, a 4 TD favorate to win this game?

Or how about the Application St over Michigan? Or Standford over USC? Or how about Louisiana-Monore (I think?) over Alabama?

The way this season went, which was very crazy, I would bet that the playoffs would be even more crazier.

Everybody loves me, damnit!

Also, please find some new material. You could give this whole "Holocaust denier/BCS defender" thing another few years if you did.

Well shiiiiiiiiiiiit, dude. Maybe we should just decide who's the champion based on who you feel deserves it.

Makes as much sense as the current system.

Again..not funny...please...get some material.,

That's not new material, GB.

As a matter of fact, that's MY MATERIAL from the post you're replying to.

A playoff isn't going to get the best team either. As a person who's attended 12 bowl games in the past 15 years...it really is expensive. With a 12 team playoff...I just don't see people traveling and expending the money to go to all these games. When Virginia Tech played for the National Championship I spent 1300/person before we ate or drank a drop. I have spent as little as 600 to go to a gator bowl. Students go to these games too, they wouldn't be able to afford it. D-2 they load up the kids on a school bus and take them their.

Oh well... as long as the players have fun it really doesn't matter.

With the 16-team playoff I posted up there, it's:

Higher seed home game
Higher seed home game
Fiesta/Orange/Rose/Sugar Bowl on Jan 1st
National Championship on Jan 8th

Hardly a stretch.

I understand that, but can't they at least try to make those games regionally before going to the semi-finals and finals which would be practically nationwide?

So you want is teams being forced to leave their starters in the entire game so that they can run up the score?

So why does it work for basketball and all other sports but it can't work for D1 football? That makes zero sense.

Just like in basketball whoever wins is the best team and you really can't argue that because they won the title.

Dude, those equations created for calculation that it weeds out the best teams. Multiply that times 7 different calculations and you have a very good indicator. Keeping in mind the criteria for their equations is subject. So there is a subjective aspect to the equations. I think you weigh the completely subjective polls less.

I'd go with the winner of each of the 6 major conferences, let each of those figure out how they want to chose their winner. Then toss in 2 from the mid-major conferences, again, let them figure out which two they pick. There isn't really a need for Wild Cards, and this takes some writer/coach who has never seen team X play completely out of the picture.

So who are the 6 major conferences and who are the 2 mid-major conferences?

It's the money. You aren't going to fill the seats in a 12 team playoff. Hawaii students aren't going to Florida. It wouldn't be able to support itself on the expectations. 4-8 teams with a shortened season is the best you can do and still maybe keep it profitable from the roota to the toota.

Yep and I would use the top 4 bowl games as playoff games and have a Final Four type venue for the championship
