Is Mark Cuban's newest playoff idea crazy enough to work?

I didn't read it either but I will say that any sort of playoff would be more interesting to watch than Bowl #1,568.

Amen. The funny thing is the bowls oppose the playoffs because they fear no one would watch their games. I say include them in a 8 or 16 team playoff. You could use all the "bowl" games and still have interest.

We need a playoff, but not this scenario.

I like the idea but it would need a ton of retooling in order to be possible.

The idea of making it three rounds is stupid. So is the idea of giving every single nondefeated team a chance to play in.
But I think the idea of a midseason cross-conference game with playoff type implications is a terrific idea. It wouldn't really affect $'s and it forces top-ranked teams to play playoff-implication type cross-conference games. All I know is it's an absolute travesty that TCU didn't have any chance at playing in a BCS championship game this season. |

I read it. To me the most disappointing part of this proposal is that it clearly indicates that during the last few weeks as Cuban has been doing his meetings and developing the details of his playoff plan... he's determined that it just impossible to move away from the BCS and toward any sort of real playoff system.
He just gave up with that idea and switched to this. That's well and good, but very, very disappointing. |
