Coffeeman Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Just so we're clear, I'm for a playoff too, or going back to the pre-BCS way. Either you're voting for the NC or playing for it in a tourney, this in between thing is crap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 There in NO way Rutgers gets into the NC game the way it is setup. College football is about popularity. Anything short of a tourney is criminal. It's embarrassing. Every year we get to hear coaches embarrass themselves on national tv why they should be the one to get in. Then we get to hear the sports analysts give their opinion as to who should get in. Without a tournament, there should just be pageants and parades. No rankings needed. I agree in theory, but the problem is that the Bowl system appeases everyone in the game except for the loudmouth mediots and the fans of the 4 or 5 teams in any given season which could reasonably claim to be the best team in the country (despite the one early loss, or an undefeated run through a weak schedule). The conferences like it because it gives them a ton of $$$. TV likes it because it gives them a ton of holiday season programming. Vegas loves it because it gives them a ton of action during what would otherwise be a slow period. The schools like it because it gives them a ton of exposure (see fundraising $$$). The coaches like it because it gives them a month of extra practice. The players like it because it's a reward for winning more games than you lose.
