December 9, 201411 yr Disagree. Fight the power. Only reason the big schools maintain such a massive advantage over the others is because they've been allowed to. THE GAME IS RIGGED. So you want automatic qualifiers?
December 9, 201411 yr Funny comment this morning from someone on ESPN. Coaches of the 5th and 6th places teams handled not getting selected with class. While the coaches of the 69th and 70th basketball teams whine like little kids that lost their sucker. Are we calling Art Briles' incessant whining "class" these days?
December 9, 201411 yr So you want automatic qualifiers? And a massive tournament. I don't just want the tournament to decide a champion. I want it to fundamentally alter the way we think about collegiate football.
December 9, 201411 yr I like it and I do think the Power 5 gets plus the mid-major (let them play in by stopping their season in early November) get the top 6 seeds, 7 & 8 seeds are decided by BCS formula. Still be ticked off fans but they would probably have at least two losses. I like the the format for playing with double headers on Saturday and Monday, wow what fun to watch. guarantee more people will watch.
December 9, 201411 yr Are we calling Art Briles' incessant whining "class" these days? Pro baseball players in St Louis think Briles was over the top with his whining... :walk:
December 9, 201411 yr And a massive tournament. I don't just want the tournament to decide a champion. I want it to fundamentally alter the way we think about collegiate football. Massive? At one game a week that could take a while...remember a couple of weeks ARE needed for finals in December :lol2: I would think YOU of all people would want the 8 best if it's just 8 teams and not some Auto qualifying Conf Champ like a 8-4 Wisconsin over and undefeated Boise St or 12-1 Cincinnati.
December 9, 201411 yr Let's just go back 2 years ago...looking at the top 8 teams including 5 Auto Conf. Qualifiers. 2012 Pre-Bowl BCS Rankings [TABLE=class: tablehead] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-87] [TD]1 [/TD] [TD]Notre Dame[/TD] [TD=align: center]12-0 Independent [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-333 my-fave] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]Alabama[/TD] [TD=align: center]12-1 SEC [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-57] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]Florida[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-1 At-Large [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-2483] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]Oregon[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-1 PAC [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-2306] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]Kansas State[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-1 Big 12 [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-24] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]Stanford[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-2 At-Large [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-61] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]Georgia[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-99] [TD]8[/TD] [TD]LSU[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-245] [TD]9[/TD] [TD]Texas A&M[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-2579] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]South Carolina[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-201] [TD]11[/TD] [TD]Oklahoma[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-52] [TD]12 [/TD] [TD]Florida State[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-2 ACC [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-204] [TD]13[/TD] [TD]Oregon State[/TD] [TD=align: center]9-3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-228] [TD]14[/TD] [TD]Clemson[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-2459] [TD]15[/TD] [TD]Northern Illinois[/TD] [TD=align: center]12-1[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-158] [TD]16[/TD] [TD]Nebraska[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-26] [TD]17[/TD] [TD]UCLA[/TD] [TD=align: center]9-4[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-130] [TD]18 [/TD] [TD]Michigan[/TD] [TD=align: center]8-4 BIG 10 [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-68] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]Boise State[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-77] [TD]20[/TD] [TD]Northwestern[/TD] [TD=align: center]9-3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-97] [TD]21[/TD] [TD]Louisville[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-328] [TD]22[/TD] [TD]Utah State[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-251] [TD]23[/TD] [TD]Texas[/TD] [TD=align: center]8-4[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: evenrow team-23-23] [TD]24[/TD] [TD]San José St[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: oddrow team-23-2309] [TD]25[/TD] [TD]Kent State[/TD] [TD=align: center]11-2[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So the 12th and 18th (with 4 losses) place teams should Automatically make the playoffs over the teams above them. An argument maybe could be made for FSU...but 8-4 Michigan or 9-3 Northwestern :no:
December 9, 201411 yr I'm with you if it's only eight teams: no auto qualifiers. I really want a larger tournament with auto bids for leagues beyond the Power Five.
