Re: Bcs

No need to change. A hand picked final four bares only slightly more resemblance to a playoff championship than a hand picked final two does. The bowls will still be the predominant theme of their subdivision, the playoffs will still be the predominant theme of ours.

I think that once the top 20 schools see how this works, they'll lobby for a larger playoff.

Further expansion means the handful of power conferences might lose their chokehold on the championship. The Big Money Boys would find that unacceptable.

Bingo. Picture for a moment, if you will....

A one-loss SEC champ
A one-loss B10 champ
A one-loss B12 champ
A one-loss P12 champ
An undefeated ACC champ
An undefeated Mountain West/Conference USA (or whatever they're calling this new behemoth of a conference)
All other conference champs have at least 2 losses

Who gets the playoff spots? Up to the committee to decide SOS I guess.

I can't remember a season when more than 3 or 4 teams at the end of the year had a legitimate claim to be playing for the NC, but I feel a scenario like the above will play out sooner than the selection committee thinks. An eight team playoff would really blow my skirt up.

Answer:

The SEC Champ
The SEC runner up
The SEC 3rd place team
And the overrated B10 Champ

Re: Bcs

I've always thought that a 16 team playoff would be perfect. Every conference champion gets in, and then there would be 5 at large teams. They said that they wanted to keep an emphasis on winning your conference...well there ya go. It would take four weeks to play it out. The bowl season is longer than that. Have the first round of the playoffs be the Little Caesar's, Motor City, etc. That way you can still have your bowl game sponsors, the season doesn't go any longer, and the NCAA can make more money. They complain about how many games the players would have to play, but I really don't see that being a problem.

It's not a +1, it's a playoff.

Re: Bcs

It's a lame solution, but still 100x better than the old system.

Re: Bcs

It's not a +1, it's a playoff.

what's the difference between a "plus one" and a "playoff"?

[Panther-Sheik]

Re: Bcs

It is just a "plus 1" and it is only 1.5 times better than the "old" way IMO. Needs to be at least an 8 team playoff someday, but money will dictate if / when that ever happens.
