It'll be a disgrace if they don't give it to BSU (and all about $$$).

I'll never understand this view... The system as it stands now dilutes the postseason, just look at the last couple of NC games and the awful bowl matchups. If, in this system, one loss meant you were SOL, I'd understand; but a pretty good 2-loss team won the NC last year. In the current system, you basically want to stay under two losses, with exceptions, and the same would be said for a playoff system.

Yeah, honestly, Boise has won a BCS bowl more recently than Ohio State, they're ranked higher, there's really no reason not to take them except money. I think the general thought is definitely that OSU is going to get picked though. There has been a lot of talk of trying to coordinate some kind of Boise/Ball State bowl game, because Boise expects to be passed over.

In this system, the way to put yourself in the best position is to win every game possible and play a good schedule.

Yes, LSU was a two-loss team that went to the championship game. But they got there because, among other things, West Virginia lost to Pittsburgh on the final weekend of the season.

My team, USC, wasn't in the championship because we failed to beat Stanford last year. The year before that we weren't in the championship because we failed to beat UCLA in the last game of the season.

In a playoff scenario, none of those games would have had any affect on the championship because both West Virginia and USC would have been in the tournament.

The only reason I think Alabama should be ranked ahead of them is the "0" in the loss column, a number that I expect Florida to change.

lol Horseshit.

Texas has won their last 3 games by a combined 129-37 margin

KCCHIEFS27 · 11-30-2008, 04:36 PM

No playoff system! How many teams, for those favoring a playoff system, would you want in the post-season tournament?

Whoop-de-****ing-doo. Florida has won their last 8 by a combined 414-97 margin. Their 11 wins have come by a 526-116 margin.

*EDIT*

Looking at those 3 UT wins you speak of, they were against Baylor, KU and aTm.

It does count. If they would have beaten Tech they would be playing.

WilliamTheIrish · 11-30-2008, 04:50 PM

Texas will BCS sympathy. I'll bet they make it at large.

if Mizzou can upset OU, then Texas is right back in it most likely

In that case, Texas Tech got shafted. They beat Texas. They should be playing.

Had OU lost last night, Texas would still be sitting at home.

PastorMikH · 11-30-2008, 05:13 PM

Quite a delima for me. I was born and raised Mizzou, but I'd really like to see OU play for a national championship.

MU wins and OU is out of the national championship. Rooting for someone to beat MU just feels wrong.
