Writers want a rematch, Coaches do not.

That's me to a t, with a little twist.

Michigan or Boise State.

 

That's where we just have to agree to disagree. If Michigan earned a rematch, the BCS numbers will say so. If USC deserves a shot, the numbers will say so.

Personally, I've wanted a playoff for years. I'm not holding my breath for change.

 

How much teams should be in a playoff? I say 6.

 

How much? A lot!

Six! Those bye games will be exciting.

 

Sixteen. Eleven conference winners, five at-large berths. You're nearly guaranteed to have the top 10 every time and the non-BCS schools can say they got their shot.

Problem is, to do this, a 10 or 11-game regular season would probably make more sense. And we know how much college presidents love that home event revenue.

 

USC absolutely should go ahead of Arkansas. The goofballs pushing the Razorbacks can go on about how early it is all they want. USC beat the shit out of Arkansas. If they end up with one loss each, USC wins the most basic tiebreaker in the world.

If Arkansas wins out and Notre Dame beats USC, then you can make an argument for Notre Dame, Arkansas or Michigan. Let's hope that happens so this mess can get really ugly.

 

We've been praying for disasters every year during the BCS...and you know what? Those disasters never hurt the BCS, they just hurt the game of college football and we're no closer to a playoff in spite of it all...

 

Fair point. But I still like it when the powers that be look like jackasses.

 

I'm right there with you, but the satisfaction is wearing thin because nothing will change in the near future and the only thing to suffer is college football.

 

We are closer to a playoff than we were 15 years ago. Just because the process is moving it along more slowly -- the Bowl Coalition, the Bowl Alliance, the BCS, the BCS championship game -- than most people want doesn't change that.

Don't be surprised that, after the current BCS deal is up, the title game becomes a "plus-one," i.e., with the top two teams after the bowls. Especially if the Rose Bowl finally decides it doesn't want to be part of the BCS anymore.

 

Yeah, but 16 teams would take forever to finish up. Plus, these kids need to go to class too.

 

It would only take a month. Why do the players need to take 60 days off between the end of the regular season and the bowl games?
Also, don't start spewing the "need to go to class" logic, it has been proven over and over that college basketball players miss way more time than college football players.
