    Playoff PAC Commericial

    http://www.playoffpac.com/media/

    Has anyone seen this commercial? Or this website?

    Playoff PAC is a federal political committee dedicated to establishing a competitive post-season championship for college football. The Bowl Championship Series is inherently flawed. It crowns champions arbitrarily and stifles inter-conference competition. Fans, players, schools, and corporate sponsors will be better served when the BCS is replaced with an accessible playoff system that recognizes and rewards on-the-field accomplishment. To that end, Playoff PAC helps elect pro-reform political candidates, mobilizes public support, and provides a centralized source of pro-reform news, thought, and scholarship.
    WASHINGTON (AP)—A new political action committee plans to run ads this week touting a college football playoff system in the markets of two undefeated teams who were bypassed for the national championship.

    Playoff PAC says it will run the 30-second ads in Dallas-Fort Worth and Boise, Idaho, into the homes of fans of TCU (12-0) and Boise State (13-0), who face off Monday night in the Fiesta Bowl. The ads also will run in Salt Lake City, where fans are still angry that undefeated Utah didn’t get to play in last season’s title game despite going undefeated.

    The PAC plans to run the ads ahead of Thursday’s national championship game between Texas and Alabama.

    I do agree with this:

    “Because of the BCS, TCU and Boise State have a national stage and a primetime TV slot to showcase their success, and they deserve to enjoy the spotlight.”
    Without the BCS, no way we would ever see a TCU/BSU matchup in the Fiesta Bowl. Or Utah or Hawaii in the SUGAR BOWL.

      Yeah, and if BSU or TCU made the elite eight or the final four of a national playoff, no one would watch?

      By the way, these ads were covered by all the local tv stations as their top story (after the BSU>TCU story)

          Having scored a hefty 17 on the narcissism test, I admit I was surprised and disappointed this thread wasn't about me.

            Who cares about the Bowl name? Take the Elite Eight in March Madness, and call it the Tostitos Elite Eight, sponsored by Frito Lay. It's not the name that makes the game, it's the game that makes the game.

            What Hancock seems to be saying is that non-AQs ought to be thrilled to just be playing in the FIESTA bowl, or the SUGAR bowl. When we finally get rid of the bowl system, it won't be the name of the bowl that's prestigious, it will be the playoff itself. People should remember that the team got to the semi finals, or the final four, not that the fans were dancing around in sombreros.

              Katy, are you sorry you said Kyle would be so much less desireable a candidate for the Florida job than Patterson? You may want to issue a retraction. I would consider it without prejudice. (Limited time offer.)

                As a counter to the Playoff PAC, the BCS has hired Ari Fleischer.

                  Interesting hires recently.

                      Yes, thank you. I think Kyle would be the more desireable hire than Gary Patterson right now, Gary having priced himself out of the market for any team other than Notre Dame, and, well, TCU.

                      Right before the beginning of the season, Patterson concluded a multi-year contract extension for $Moodles. Isn't it odd that Patterson gets another contract extension in the same season? While making important preparations for the Fiesta Bowl, both Patterson and Peterson lock in contract extensions, so swiftly that the Board of Regents have not yet approved Peterson's contract because they haven't had time to meet. I think the contract extensions were unscheduled and completed very swiftly, like, a matter of days.

                      I think the boosters at TCU and BSU saw the empty coaching spot at Texas Tech and panicked and extended their coach contracts.

                      I guess Dr. Hill didn't have such worries. I'm sure Pe/atterson have huge buyouts now, so for sure I'd go for Kyle.

                      (If you want my assessment of Patterson's bowl performance, I think he coached poorly, and this loss reminds me of his loss in 2008, not the one to Utah but the OOC loss.)

                          Why do people capitalize the sugar bowl now?

                          And BYU went to the Cotton bowl without the BCS. That was a prime time match up was it not?

                            No, it was not.


                            The bowl coalition existed then and shut BYU out. you've never seen the cotton bowl capitolized like the SUGAR BOWL, right?

                              it was not a major bowl on news year day in prime time?

                              and I know it was not part of the bowl coalition. If that is your definition of a major bowl, then it wasn't obviously. But I am not using that definiton.
