AP rankings out...texas tech below penn state LOL

imo it should be alabama at the top, then a mix of florida/oklahoma/texas/texas tech, and maybe penn state + usc + utah + boise state close behind

Everyone thinks Florida is better than Bama. Facts will be proven after SEC championship.

i dont like the BCS bowls having affiliations.

If we arent going to have a playoff, we should have the top teams. PSUvs Oregon State will suck, + weve seen it already, PSU vs USC would be ehhhh ok, but id rather see USC face florida or alabama. Last year it was retarded that Illinois went.

It sucks because this year there are a bunch of great 1 loss teams which would make awesome games, but im worried theyll end up playing Utah or Boise or something and have SHIT games.


The bowls games have always been affiliated with certain conferences. The BCS didn't make it that way.

why would you have texas tech above usc, utah, and penn state? Texas tech just got blown out by OU while usc, utah, and penn state are winning.

Utah and Boise both won last time they were in BCS bowls. I'd be interested in an Ok/Boise rematch if Ok isn't in the NC game

I know this obviously, but once they switched to the BCS format that should have ended.

It ended for a while anyway when they had the championship game rotate between the bowls until they made this new championship bowl.

We had shit games last year. And shit games before that. rarely have the other BCS games been good (Texas Michigan in the rosebowl was good, Boise Oklahoma too)

Lets just leave it like this. The BCS sucks a fat one. Fuck the BCS. Seriously I hate the BCS more than Bisu, and I really really really really really hate Bisu.

Edit: If you watched Barack Obamas interview on 60 Minutes it should have made you really happy. Obama is a huge college ball boy and he has already stated that he will do everything he can to get rid of the BCS. He is a proponent of a three week playoff system which may have to reduce the amount of regular season games but still having a playoffs would be worth it. Computers shouldnt have any say in whos the best football team in College sports. FUCKING GAY COMPUTERS!

Everyone always fucking bitches about the BCS, but it's not logical to have college teams play in a play-off.

Why not? 3 weeks for an 8 team playoff. That's not very long. Especially given only two teams would actually play for three weeks. How would that be any different from March Madness, beyond there being fewer teams?

Look at how the NFL does it. If there were a BCS system in the NFL it would be a total joke. As far as I am concerned the BCS makes college football worse. A playoff system is viable, I don't see why it isnt. The old argument of it ruining the education of athletes is just ridiculous, look how damn long the basketball season is and then theres march madness.

The NFL doesn't have a million fucking teams. How would you do the play offs? Top 25 26(?) and then just have a superbowl type game? How would you rank the teams mid-season to be able to put them into seeds? There are so many teams that you can't go by friends and you would need that computer to help place each team. It just would not work.

Yes it would, take the top 8 teams and have a playoff. The BCS SUCKS at pinpointing the exact order but it generally has the top 8 teams pinpointed. It would be viable and not only that. it would be more exciting because anyone of the top 8 could win it all instead of everyone holding their breath the last week of the season to see if the computer loves them enough to rank them 1 or 2.

Some (of many) complaints I have about the system:
1. To break a conference tie in the Big 12 South, they are using BCS rankings. But the BCS rankings account for all games the team has played, not just the in-conference games. So they are deciding the standings in the conference using out of conference games as well. Does not make sense.
2. If Boise State wins its last game, it is highly likely they will be ranked ahead of both the Big East and ACC conference champions. (at least, possibly even Pac-10 co-champ/champ Oregon State should they beat Oregon) Yet those 2 champions get automatic berths and Boise State very likely won't, since Utah is taking up the "one buster per year" quota.

the college football regular season is awesome, but just imagine if it was like march madness in football.

Holy shit how sick would that be. 8 teams would be awesome, they should have every conference have a conf championship game though to make it fair (and that way there are no ties for conference championships which are stupid)

big 10 would be crazy imbalanced for divisions though, michigan osu psu indiana and msu,purdue, and then the other division ;\


very rarely does the bcs ever get the championship game right anyway.

Its just luckboxed its way in with Texas USC a few years ago, every other year there has pretty much been a beef. (I guess FSU vs VT worked out too)

Top 8 isn't bad, but it's not teams holding their breath "generally". A couple of the past years it has come down to the points in the system, but that's because teams 1 and 2 couldn't win out respectfully. I think everyone puts it all on the computer a lot more then it should be. If you can hold your top spot through the last week you will keep your top spot.
