I would of loved to see something like this (this is based off of final rankings. The college football playoffs would have a chance to rival the NFL playoffs (Super Bowl included) as the biggest sporting event in the country. How could you not want this?

I'm picking BYU.

clearly you didnt see central michigan play this year

Actually I did. But BYU is powered by Jesus.

we could argue the merits of Illinois as BCS caliber team for another couple hours...but you make a good point

but we both come to the same conclusion...the 2 best teams didn't play for the title....where we differ is that you're fine with the system that allows that and i want it to be changed

I think they call that check mate. Or, in igy talk, domino muthafarga.

Arguably, the 2 best teams don't play in the Super Bowl every year either. How do we fix that?

SunMo · January 09, 2008, 02:09:37 PM

i don't care about it if it's fought out in a playoff...that's been my whole point

you really are a farging idiot. The format jackass...the format

OMFG!...you mean a bracket format with 16 teams in it...where the hell did you come up with that ground breaking idea...im suprised no one else has mentioned anything like that yet...i think something like that would probably work in cbb

haha

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 09, 2008, 02:10:40 PM

What's a bracket?

Sgt PSN · January 09, 2008, 02:11:35 PM

Something you wear on your wrist I think.

CBB should be a best of 5 format. Not because I think the current format is unfair. I just want them to play until July.

Well, get used to it, because FOX is going to make a playoff a reality.

They already took the first step by creating a championship game separate from the bowls.

Notice how the championship is a week away from the bowls? Next they will tag two of the BCS bowls as a playoff, and the winners will play in the NCG.

After that they will add a week and include all four bowl games.

Don't believe me?

Quote"If you poll football fans, they overwhelmingly say they want (a playoff system)," Fox Sports chief Ed Goren said...

Sure, Fox talks all nice nice about the BCS, but they know that a playoff is where the money is.

fox had zero control over the formation of the bcs and has zero control over a playoff system...a playoff system will happen when the presidents want it to happen

fyi the international bowl is a week after the other bowls too

You guys have spent 10 pages arguing over something that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

I love you all.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 09, 2008, 02:18:57 PM

your miserable attitude is not refreshing

The bowl alliance didn't include the Rose Bowl. And the BCS didn't have a separate championship game. Things change.

And what makes things change? Television networks walking into the NCAA offices with buckets of cash. If they had control, it would have already have happened. But now that it is established, what is to stop them from taking that first step - making it 4 teams instead of 2? No more time is involved. It would automatically increase the draw and the ratings for all three games.

I predict that if there isn't at least a 4 team playoff by the end of the current deal (2010), Fox will not renew.
