I agree Brian the polls are total BS.....Gators were over-ranked because they won the national championship last year.......yet almost half the team was seniors and are gone now....why would we be ranked where we are now? I mean was.

Big East who's that?

Actually we just need a playoff system.

 

I totally agree - that would great. Every other sport has one and for good reason.

 

Ok, good, how do we introduce a playoff system into the bcs bowl system so that everybody get their money.

 

BCS bowl system is a sham. Voting for #1 ... what other sport "votes" to chose the champ? Figure skating? The #1 team is already chosen going in, or rather, 1 of 2 teams. This should be decided on the field.

There's plenty of money to spread around in a playoff system. Each conference needs to organize their own games so that they can send their best N teams on, or which can be selected, kind'a like NCAA basketball. At that point, each play-off game is a bowl. We'd need more bowls than what we have now culminating in the grand daddy that selects the national champ. Probably need to have an 8 or 10 game regular season, conference teams only, though, and start the playoff earlier than the bowls traditionally start to get through it. Certainly different strategies from coaches are needed in terms of minimizing player injuries, etc. Overall I think it would be fantastic for the sport. You think CFB is fun now, just think what it would be like when the "real" national champ emerges instead of pretty much being selected early on based on the past school history instead of this year's team. For example, if South Florida goes undefeated, do you really think they would play for the title over a 1-loss USC? Forget it, the ESPN talking heads would never be on board for that. They'd rather see their old stand-by teams they are familiar with in it and that's what would happen. A playoff system would replace voting with actual competition. And all this talk of weak conferences not being BCS eligible would just go away by virtue that if they really are weak, they will be eliminated in the first round of play-offs. So that would never be a problem, but EVERY team would have equal access to the big game if they are good enough to get there.

But you are right, it's the introduction that would be tricky. CFB is a big heavy train and getting it to change tracks would not be easy.

 

its all about money and havin these thousands of different bowl games creates alot of money. which is why we dont have play off's. you could have a bracket like College basketball does it would take way to long and if you cut it to a low amount of teams then alot of money would be lost. plus alot of teams would cry foul.
