Bottom line: Ya'll will still whine about it! It's not like these team's players, coaches, etc., are gonna lose their jobs over it! SO STOP WHINING!!

Like the NCAA Basketball Tourney, it's certainly better to be arguing about who's #64 than who is #1.

Let #1 earn it on the field of play like every other D-I sport and let #8 or #16 bitch. (4 is too few to really resolve anything IMO).

Take the top 8 BCS ranked teams and put them in a tourney. This would last one month, many people would see upsets, it would be a great thing to do. There's really no reason why they shouldnt do this. They claim that it would prolong the season and players would get hurt. Tough shit its football and a lot of the players playing in those games will go on to the next level. A couple more games won't hurt.

But there lies 2 problems...

-It's just too easy to do
-BCS and NCAA are all about $$$.

I would vote for a 16 team tournament. Make everyone play through a 12 game schedule with no byes, so you end before thanksgiving weekend.

You say March Madness generates alot of money, but it generates nowhere near what a 16 team college football tournament would. Basketball is cute, but it is nowhere near the moneymaker football is.

Rarely do we talk about anyone outside the top 10 being NC contenders, so w/ 16 teams, I feel noone would be left out that truly deserved a shot at it.

I used two teams that had those kind of records as an example.

Those other matchups that you mention are good football games, but the point is, at the end of the day, they are irrelevant.

Great games that, in the big picture of things, mean absolutely nothing.

Got it. So every game that isn't the national championship game is irrelevant.

As they say, nobody remembers who finished second.

We agree on this.

16 team playoff would be perfect, but I'd settle for 8 teams if it came to it.

Ok. Put a bye week in the middle of the season, or stagger them per team. That's fine with me.

You would STILL have enough time for a 16 team tournament, and it would still end before January 8th (BCS national title game).

16 team playoff would be great. it would give some of those good teams w/ an 8-4 or 9-3 record a chance to knock some one off.

I agree with this, and have said it should be so for over 20 years.

Still waiting. Maybe the Chiefs will win a Super Bowl before this happens.

I would rather see the D1 schools limit reg season games to 10, have an off week before the start of the playoffs, then have a 32 team playoff. Each conference champion gets an automatic bid, we have to have Cinderella invited to this ball game.

There is no drama without a Hoosiers type scenario being possible. Trust me, when our HS upset an all everything big school from Sacramento with a 40 game winning streak to win our sections, it was AWESOME.

Just immagine a Rutgers getting on a roll in this thing.
