BCS mess

[Reel Deal]

Umm, did you not see the last two games they played? In the elite 8 I just can't include a team that gets thrashed 65-21 then has to mount a 4th quarter comeback at home to beat a bad Baylor team.

That's just it, though. They'd have just as reasonable an argument as Texas to be included. And, there are other teams that could argue that some teams didn't even play in or win their conference title.

There will always be someone arguing. Whether it is Texas and the national title or Boise State and an at-large bid or the #9 team in the nation looking at an 8 team playoff.

I don't agree, at all, that Texas Tech has as reasonable an argument as Texas (just look at those last 2 games!).

And, you can make the same argument for the 65 team NCAA basketball tournament, but that doesn't mean it's in anyway better than the current system where only 2 teams get a shot. Of course there will always be a 9th or 10th team that will complain, but how often will they really legitimately be anywhere near as talented as one of the top 2-3 teams? Not very often, if ever.

OK, so we've made it through the bowl season with just the Championship Game to be played and it's still obv that we need a playoff... I think if I had a vote I might just vote Utah #1. Who knows, they might be the best team. Texas looked average against Ohio State. USC looked very good. Hard to get a read on Thrusday's game, I think Florida should win, but who knows?

Thoughts? Opinions?

The SEC and Big 12 were seen as the two big conferences this year.... however the Big 12 has certainly looked average in the bowl season, Oklahoma State losing, Texas Tech losing, Texas just edging OSU (from the Big 10!). Thursday' game should be close, I think I like Florida, but Im not really sure...

As far as the Utah argument, it's very flawed. LOL at the Utah attorney general filing a case against the BCS....to quote PTI, ISNT THERE ANY CRIME IN UTAH? Don't you have something better to do? But anyway back to the point. Alabama has been overrated all season and this was a known fact....it's why as an undefeated #1 seed they were still a dog to Florida entering their game. So I don't give Utah's victory over them that much water.... yea they beat a decent Oregon State team (who did beat USC, though clearly on an off night), but the problem is, if you want to be considered the best JOIN A MAJOR CONFERENCE. I believe that Florida, Oklahoma USC and Texas would all defeat Utah.

For a person who doesnt get your college system properly, and having read this thread and been pretty confused from the first post, does anyone want to be kind enough to give a quick 5 year olds walkthrough of how it works and what your on about??

Big12? Elite8? Conferences,Bowls, everything!

Ill google it too, but sometimes they make it worse
