No because MSU lost 14 players.

Also I said MWC and MAC being consistent. They’re both perfect one is 4-0 the other 0-4.

You’re correct Fl is a superior team to Cincy.
No doubt about it. Also SEC is probably the strongest conference now and the Big East is starting to slip.
MWC has some value though.

A playoff system wouldn’t do much. The same teams would be there. Check my previous articles about this.
A true tournament system would have all the same teams playing one another - which is impossible.

This system is just as good and I get to watch a lot of kids play for games that are important to them ( and even get to watch some good marching bands). Put them in a tournament and they aren’t nearly as excited. There is no trophy for being in the sweet sixteen.

“A playoff system wouldn’t do much. The same teams would be there”

I could not disagree more...at least with a playoff system, Notre Dame and Ohio State would not get FREE rides to the big game if they manage to only lose one game through an easy schedule...the teams that currently play conference championships are at a disadvantage, laying it all on the line on one game that can cost them a shot at the title.

Also, the TCU’s and Boise States of the world would get their shot...The BCS REALLY screwed up this year pitting these two against each other which proves NOTHING.

If the SAME teams end up in the final four, well it would just PROVE my point about conference strength...There is a way to design a good system, and it would be FAR more fair than RANKINGS...I mean, look at the idiocy of those who vote to rank these teams:

At one time this year Ole Miss was ranked 4..What were they thinking? At one time LSU was ranked 3rd...Oklahoma was #3. USC was #3. California was #6 and ended the season unranked. Florida by years’ end was ranked lower than Cinncy.

A playoff is the ONLY fair way.
