Why was my comment removed? Did it strike to close to home? What happened to debating the issue? There millions of college football fan like me who think the BCS is a crock. Please explain to me how my comment didn’t fit the rule of FreeRepublic.
You probably didn’t say anything that most of us are already thinking.
“College Football”, its ALL about the $$$s!
Nothing but crickets chirping from the idiot moderator. There was nothing in my comment that was offensive. All I did was point out the fact that there has never been a true National Champion in FBS Football. I stated my case for 16 team playoff that would consist of all 10 conference champs and 6 at large teams. I pointed out that this is the only way we will ever have a true National Champion in the FBS division.
College football died when the BCS was created. There is nothing more “exciting” than to see two teams, selected by computers and writers instead of earning it on the field, face each other with the winner anointed as champion of the free world. By this single act of stupidity, the remaining bowls become nothing more than meaningless exhibitions. Thank you NCAA and ESPN/ABC!
Give me a true playoff, or go back to old bowl system with an end of season poll. At least there is some drama with the polls, and something to play for. This present madness is for the birds. I can’t imagine any true sports fan thinking the BCS, or any future variation is a good thing. But hey, I now have lots of free time during the bowl season!
I agree with you. The BCS should be the B.S. Championship and I don’t see why that post would have been pulled. Someone’s got an itchy trigger finger.
The ncaa doesn’t technically award a National Championship in Football. The only sport that has such a distinction.
Article of interest,says nice things about Auburn’s placement in the BCS standings :-)
The funny thing is the money would pour in with a 16 team playoff. FBS football would be Scrooge McDuck swimming in his gold coin silos.
Just consider this. College basketball determines their champion through a playoff.
So now, who gives a crap about college basketball during the regular season?
Calling them idiots is not your best play in trying to get a comment restored. Did you follow the rules when posting?
I have protested some post being deleted. Win some lose some. But, keeping it civil cannot ever hurt.
I started caring less about the bowl games when the BCS started. As far as I’m concerned, it wrecked college football.
I may be in the minority, but I would like to eschew any sort of playoff system or national championship game. A playoff system and/or a championship game diminishes the stature and significance of the bowls, lengthens the season, and makes college football too much like pro football.
Let’s get back to the bowl system, with the national champion being subjectively picked by sports writers, coaches, computer models, etc.
Why is there no explanation for my post being pulled? I didn’t break any of the posting rules. Why doesn’t the moderator just man up and tell what the issue was with my post?
Apples and oranges though dfw. Many more fans of football and many LESS home dates to see your school’s team.
I think there are serious issues w/ seat licensing (cost of tickets) at many schools, but the passion is there. It’s certainly enough passion to successfully propel a playoff format.
That is all you said?! Damn, you have been here a long time, you at least deserve a response why your post was yanked. Maybe the reason will be forthcoming?
But one of the great things about the Auburn-Alabama game was that it did eliminate Alabama.
Had that game occurred next year, it wouldn’t have mattered as much, since most likely Bama would have still made the playoffs.
