2014 College Football Season

[Flystripper]

As we've seen most years in the BCS there is almost always an undisputed #1 and most of the time #2 as well. After that it starts to level off. Chaos and controversy this year or next might speed expansion but it is a certainty that the playoffs will continue to expand. IMO there will be pit stops at 8 and 12 teams before it gets to 16 teams. That was how the D1AA playoffs went, they expanded to 16 teams in 9 years. The other thing putting pressure on expansion is that the playoff devalues the bowl system at large. No one in the top 15 or 25 is going to want to go to a lame bowl game instead of an 8 (or 12 or 16) team playoff.

Fine by me. Bowls are lame.

I might be the only one but I love the GT option.

It would drive me crazy to cheer for my team doing it, but to watch once in a while is a lot of fun.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Exactly. You have to be rooting for FSU and tOSU right now if you're a BYU fan.

The top 6-10 teams often have an argument, beyond that and itakes the regular season meaningless. Also you will have to cut 2-3 regular season games.

Yeah I think you are right. If you get behind two scores it is pretty depressing, but when it is clicking it is a thing of beauty.

Why? Is it because you think big 10 tears have weight? Everyone knows the big 10 sucks this year.

I say doing it like this works:

1. Conference Champs from the B1G, PAC12, ACC and SEC get AutoBids (
2. Big12 plays the highest ranked Non p5 team (or ND) for an autobid. Higher BCS ranked team gets home field advantage.
3. 6 Highest BCS ranked teams that are not in Conf Champ game play for 3 at large spots. Home teams are the ones with highest rankings (1vs6,2v5,3v4) (losers still go to bowl games)
4. Next weekend teams are seeded by BCS rank and 1 plays 8, 2 v 7 etc.. Higher seed (Losers still go to bowl games)
5. Christmas Day Semifinal is played
6. New Years Day Final is played

- This solves a lot of problems
A. Every Team would play the same amount of games
B. Instead of 7 games to sell media rights to they would have 10 games (the 11th game Media rights (Big12vNonP5) could be split with the home team getting 75% of the tv revenue).
C. Half of the playoff revenue is split between all DIV1 teams. The other half uses the Unit system they use for the NCAA bball tourney to divide out $
D. Bowls still happen Even if you are elite 8 you get one more game.

It will happen. We'll get to 16 teams quickly and then every power conference team will get 1-2 mulligans a year. The regular season and conference championships will mean almost nothing and the first teams left out will still complain that the selections are unfair.

Game over. According to Lebowski and Surfah we should be happy. Still not sure how it helps BYU unless you believe Big 10 tears have weight.

Regular seasons don't matter when only the conference champ gets an auto bid?

How many drinks have you had tonight? Be honest now.

[The_Douger]

I feel so dirty.

I feel dirty too. I don't want Urban to get in the playoff, but I want the Big 12 to be shut out. This may work out.

2 beers. Not enough to cloud my judgement. Where is the controversy other than the big10 crying?

[The_Douger]

tOSU is going to jump the Big 12 and their 2 true champions.

Lol the big12 is not getting shut out on the back of a 52 point win in third place. How much have you guys been drinking?
