LOL.
Anyways the CCG's IMO is really what has screwed the BCS over. They could simply take the CCG date and have the top four teams play each other on neutral fields. Since most of the time the top four is head and above the rest of the field. JMO

(4th & 9. 1:32 left in the 4th quarter. Down by 3 at Notre Dame. No problem. Fight on!)
To: MikeinIraq
Yeah but Leinart problem cannot perform the power option like T A&N can , and thats the offense that has bugged Texas the most.

The only team that can hang with USC this year is Miami. And then only on a good day (like we had in Blacksburg on 11/5). Only a very strong defensive team will be able to beat them. ND and Fresno could score with them, but couldn't stop them. Then again, we only put up 14 on GT, hence my comment "on a good day".
As for FSU, they couldn't play their way into or out of a paper bag. They are so done. The Hokies will destroy them (as much as it pains me to say that), so there's no fear of an 8-4 team making a BCS bowl this year. The point still remains, however, that a playoff is needed, and needed badly.

yeah but USC has other ways of getting the ball to the edges.
Texas will still be facing a very potent running game either way.
But USC has also shown vulnerability up the middle and on the edges as well. Just pull the Fresno State tape and watch it.
somehow I think we are in for a 56-55 game in the Rose Bowl :)

I'll take any BCS game over any basketball game. It doesn't matter in the least what the score is until the final 7 minutes of a basketball game.
Everything up until then doesn't matter. It's just 10 guys jumping in the air every 15 seconds or so.

you could do that with 8 or 16 teams just as easily.....
it will never happen unless one of the TV networks puts up a sweetheart money deal for it.

Are ya kidding me? The two teams that nearly beat USc were either beaten or nearly beaten this weekend by lesser teams. Texas should be able to not only hang but hang 50 on them. Mack wont rest on his laurels this time.

I don't like the BCS, but I like the idea of a playoff even less. Why does every sport have to be ruined. If they have a college footballs playoff, why not just have a draft for high school students? College football was fine the way it was 20 years ago. Having a playoff will homogenize college football and take away everythign that makes it interesting.

Then there's the problem of the current non-BCS conferences. Their conference champs would have to get in.
To: MikeinIraq
I think that either every conference should have a championship game or none of them should. I'd prefer that there be championship games, but they should only be between the two best teams in the conference- none of this nonsense of the undefeated no. 2 team ranked team in the country facing an unranked four loss team.

Isn't that what they were saying before the 1991 Cotton Bowl?

Yes, we wouldn't want a sport to be unique. Let's improve all sports by making them exactly the same.

I hate the BCS too, it's geared more toward garnering the most TV ratings than anything else. It's all about the bottom line.
In Division II-A they have a playoff system, and they don't get any national TV exposure at all.

Tom Osborne agrees with you 100%, he was against the BCS and CCG's, heck he wanted the Big 8 left to itself.
