Yeah, cutting out the San Jose School of the Blind game early in everyone's schedule would just be a killer for the league...

So your entire position basically boils down to, "The Cartel wants to keep their cash away from everyone else, SO THERE."

Amazing.

Apparently not enough. USC was the better team that season and most agreed. They barely won their bowl game in unimoressive fashion.

Yeah, all they did was win every single game they played. Losers.

I guess you think split "national titles" (2003) are awesome, too?

Eh, not really. I just think the ranking system is a joke, as proven again this year when the #1 team in the league seems to keep losing. But that is why I was willing to let the mids figure out how they wanted to be represented.

It's up to them how they want to make money. And I support that.

I'm not the biggest follower of college football in history, but IMO of all the teams that have been jobbed or will be by the BCS, Auburn in 04 got it worst.

Those games give those schools exposure and money they wouldn't get on their own. If you want to only go to confernce play you could keep the games down, but something else will suffer.

I think this year is a lot like any other year, except we are missing 2 or 3 great teams that are normally at the top of the table

Yeah, the money bowl system is what made this mess in the first place. Cracks me up that 1-AA has no trouble with having playoff's, but the big guys have to have their 6 win teams in a bowl game...

The thing is, though, it's not like C-USA really gives a shit about the WAC's best interests. I'm sure they could hammer out some system, but I don't see why the negotiations are necessary, and that would frankly just strengthen the divide between the haves and have-nots.

Or what about this? Merge the WAC and the MWC. Sure that's 18 teams, but they can rotate the schedule around, and have their own conference championship game.

That'd make 10 instead of 11 conferences, and you can rank them by the BCS in terms of using them as slotting.

They ought to at least match up the top 4 teams in a simple playoff. Or the top 5 plus one wild card that the voters can use or something. There has to be some kind of definition for this process.

And they need to say, whichever way, all BCS conferences either need to have a championship game or not. Not a mix of the two.

Oh, NOW you care about the little guys.

The little guys who aren't even a part of Division I-A/FBS. The "little guys" IN the Football Bowl Subdivision don't deserve SHIT, though.

By showing that they are most likely a joke? Don't bitch about Hawaii getting a shot, and defend Florida International in the same discussion if you want to be taken seriously. :D
