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.

The ncaa doesn’t technically award a National Championship in Football. The only sport that has such a distinction.

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.

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?

Even a playoff wouldn't work, because the first time you have an NCAA football champion from the bottom 4-5 spots in a 16-team playoff you're going to have the same controversy about a team that just missed the 16-team playoffs that could credibly claim that they belonged there.

What most people seem to overlook is that football -- both college and professional -- is really incompatible with a playoff system no matter how hard these organizations try to pretend otherwise. The biggest problem with football is that the schedule is too short -- which means that the strength of a team's schedule will heavily influence its final record. This is why the SEC does so well in these BCS championship games. Even an SEC team with two losses can probably beat most other conference champions in any given year.

When would these playoffs take place? Making room for a series of playoffs would mean that Division 1A football would have to end its regular season in mid-November, thereby reducing the number of games, or start in mid-August. Otherwise, the season would have to be extended well into January.
