Who would have predicted USC only scoring 9 points today?

[commish]

Well so much for Darren MCFadden not having an Incompletion. Of course he still hasn't had a pass it the turf this year.

Come up with an objective system that makes a playoff system fair to every Division 1-A school instead of 7 teams plus Notre Dame every year.

I already have. You use the BCS standing to rank the top conference champions in an eight-game playoff. NO wild cards. Notre Dame (and any other independant) is treated like a conference unto themselves.

In most years, that means ND would have to finish in the Top 15 to qualify so they would make it some years but not every year. I wouldn't complain if they made a "top 8" rule for independants like the BCS has now.

Here ya go, 5 years old and still applicable:

A playoff that saves the bowls and quiets the critics

Good girl I mean, woman, ma'am, lady, babe what have you.......INT by the Gators D!!!!!

[michigander]

I dunno, the pro's play up to 25 games each year (depending on how far they go in the playoffs.)

True enough.

So let's just cut the crap here and start giving the players some $ to play and really just use this the as the minor league football for the pofessional level that everyone knows it is.

Well, the CBS announcing crew is now resorted to shameless shilling for Florida.

Pathetic.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Woo hoo, Gators! Let's keep going!!

[TN4Liberty]

I thought you guys had tried that already... :)

[Jrabbit]

Well, OU certainly did! :-)

[michigander]

They just have to change the "rules" that aren't followed anyway...

Big interference call here?

Have to agree, they are as bad as Musberger's butt-kissing of USC earlier today.

[catholicfreeper]

Well since Florida was basically told they were out of it weeks ago because of "style points" its only fair if their is a little advocacy for them since The almightly USC went down today that everyone was shilling for weeks for lol

[Diddle E. Squat]

You may be right, but if I had to pick one team going into a playoff to win it all, my gut would take USC (though it would be a situation where team A has a 20% chance of winning, B an 18% chance, C a 17% chance, D a 15% chance, etc., I'm not declaring them a dominant or even likely winner, just the most likely IMHO.)

Sorry, but I just don't see any team as runaway, dominant, head-n-shoulders above all the rest this year, just like almost every year in college football. I've seen too many 'teams of the century' get built up and then come crashing down. That isn't a slight on OSU or Michigan, just typical college football.

What? A Good Call by a REF!!!
Sucks that the Gators did that

[Yaelle]

Nya ha HA!!! (Bruin alum here!)

[commish]

Hugh and series Interference penalty.

[TN4Liberty]

They did the same thing at the OSU MI game. They hype whoever is playing.

True enough. That's why it's the greatest sport on earth...

Agreed, but it needs to be a uniform stipend so no school has a financial advantage to be a New York Yankees.
