Every year people clamor for it. So let's have a BGP 8 team NCAA football playoffs.

 

What 8 teams should get invited?

 

I will try and have the poll setup for you to choose multiple teams.

I entered OSU, Meatchicken, USC, Fla., LSU, ACC champ, B-east Champ, Big 12 champ. for this season. This would imo vary from year to year and I listed the ACC champ but I am not sure that the ACC champ would deserve being thre this year.

Here you go Lbbc, trying to simplify a perfect mess that the BCS makes of things every year. :laugh: We are just now getting used to the confusion and someone has to come in and try to make it reasonable. Geeeeez! :lol:

With the current votes, a standard bracket would look like this:

 

1)tO$U

8)Arkansas

 

4)Florida

5)Louisville

 

3)Michigan

6)LSU

 

2)USC

7)Boise State

No way Boise State should be in. I think everyone would agree if they played in any of the BCS conferences, they wouldn't be close to undefeated. I am not trying to take away from what they did this year, but no one can convince me that they are better than the teams in the big conferences. They just don't have the athletes, I watched them play the other night, and they definetly aren't as big or strong as the majority of teams in major conferences.

Boise State, if this playoff was real, would have to be considered. Regardless of your opinion of their competition, the fact remains they are are a D1 school that is undefeated.

If this is supposed to be the best 8 teams in the country battling for a playoff, why wouldn't strength of schedule be a part of the equation? In order for this to be fair, you can't just say, because they are undefeated they deserve to play for a National title. SOS has to play a part in this.

I chose 8 - OSU, Southern Cal, Michigan, Florida, Louisville, Boise State, ACC Champ and someone else - maybe Wisconsin (but if I could have a do-over I'd probably take LSU.

This gets back to my thought on the matter. If you are a non-BCS school and want to make it to the big show, I believe you should be required to play either 2 or 3 BCS schools, one of which should be on the road. (Also, I think it should be a requirement that every team in a BCS conference plays at least one non-conference road game against a BCS school).

1)tO$U

8)Arkansas

 

4)Florida

7)Boise State

I like that bracket, lets go with it.:thumb:

I like that bracket, lets go with it.:thumb:

I like it too.

 

 

tO$U defeats Arkansas

 

Louisville defeats Florida

 

Michigan defeats LSU

 

USC defeats Boise State

 

 

 

tO$U defeats Louisville (they'd hang though.)

 

Michigan defeats USC (Sorry, USC, but Michigan actually HAS cornerbacks.)

 

 

Michigan defeats tO$U (it's tough to beat a good team twice.)

I dont see why Boise State shouldnt be considered. They WAXED Oregon State, oh yeh, Oregon State WAXED USC. Noone has proven they can beat Boise, they would HAVE to be in.

BSU has to be in if they're undefeated.

 

I would like to see a 12 team playoff though. That should certainly cover all the legit contenders, and it gives an advantage to your top 4 schools, which are most likely to win anyway.

Your brackets don't look too bad 02. It will be interseting to see who/what is decided by the end ofthis coming weeknd. Maybe after this weekend someone could post the "elite 8" bracket and we can have a new vote on the playoffs with each round. With what you have now I would put THE Ohio State vs. Fla. and USC vs. LSU (upset) in the semi finals. Buckeyes vs. USC in the NC with THE Ohio State Buckeyes winning the national title.Of cours week by week my picks could change.

I dont see why Boise State shouldnt be considered. They WAXED Oregon State, oh yeh, Oregon State WAXED USC. Noone has proven they can beat Boise, they would HAVE to be in.

:thumb: :thumb: They would definately deserve a shot.
