ND went undefeated when no one else did including wins against, prior to the bowls, #11 Oklahoma, #6 Stanford, and #18 Michigan. Yes - they should have lost to Pittsburgh, and perhaps Purdue. Yes - Taylor did get in the endzone in OT despite what the officials wrongly ruled. But they won those games and deserved to be in the NC game this year.

But don't worry. In 2014 we will get a 4-team playoff and it has already been announced that there will be no limit to the number of teams from a particular conference in the new four-team playoff format.

4 isn't enough.

If we had a 4 team playoff this year, Kansas State, A&M, and Louisville would have been out. Not that they should have gone in over Oregon, Florida, ND, and Bama but they all 3 ABSOLUTELY deserved a shot.

Meh. At the end of the season A&M and Louisville both had two losses. K-State would have been the only 1-loss (debatable deserving) team left out and, consequently, they'd be the only 1-loss team that was 1) blown out and 2) blown out by an unranked team.

It needs to be at least 8 teams, can we agree on that?

It needs to be exactly eight teams. 16 is pointless, as nine through sixteen bring nothing to the conversation, and the tournament would last a month. Having Nebraska, Northern Illinois, and Oregon State in the playoff would be a farce.

To me, 4 is enough and anything more than 8 would be awful.

Firing Squad.

ND belonged in the game as much as anyone. Nobody was beating Alabama that night, and the right tea won the title. The BCS is ****ed up, but they crown the best team as champions more than any other sport.

**notorious** · 01-09-2013, 08:16 AM

Would you rather play a schedule of average to above average teams, or a schedule of average teams, some shit teams, and a couple of top 5's?

That's a good question really.

I would like to see a team that had to go through the gauntlet of a conference championship game to get to the national championship game personally.

Notre Dame beat a pretty good Stanford team. I can remember Ohio State and OU getting blown out in National title games. This is no different. Notre Dame won all of their games and deserved to be there. I don't like the system that gets them there, but until you have a playoff it's the same old story.

There should be no independent teams. Everyone needs to be on the same playing field.
