The NBA decides their Champion in a court
Nascar decides their champion in a track
Tennis on a court
Golf on a course

That is 4 so far that do not decide their Champion on a field, ergo, College Footbal cannot be the only one!

lol

Check the typos, NBA is "on" a court and Nascar "on" a track of course!

Playoff System necessary.
117 teams go into Thunderdome...one team comes out!

Yeah but you can fault Ohio State for a schedule full of cupcake games.

Regular season losses shouldnt be the sole determining factor. I have no problem with a two loss team the quality of LSU playing in the game. Their two losses were in triple OT and they played a quality schedule.

Now, are they DEFINITELY worthy of the game over some of the other teams you mentioned and others (USC comes to mind). We'll never know. Without a playoff system , this is as good as we get. A paper championship.

I wonder how many people were complaining after Texas-USC, Miami-Ohio State and Texas-Michigan. The BCS is still better then the bowl system in the past when none of those matchups would have occured. I really don't see anything more then a +1 system happening in the near future anyway.

You don't see anything more than a +1 system, because thats what the powers that be want you to believe. They never before have felt the pressure to scrap the Bowl system like they are at this moment. They know there is no more or less justification for LSU-Ohio State in the championship game than any of the other top ten teams. The reason you keep hearing "its not going to happen" is because they are trying to stamp out any hope. The more outcry for a playoff and pressure they come under the more determined they "sound", but to me it sounds like a last desperate attempt to hang on to they old ways. The more patronizing and condescending they are about the BCS the more faith I have that its going to change. It will collapse under its own awesome stupidity. They wanted parity. they got it, but they've succeeded in destroying their only means of justifying selection over playoff.

Tell that to Hawaii

i think georgia and maybe VT could beat just about anyone right now

Vt got killed by LSU but LSU played a perfect game and VT wasn't themselves

of course it isn't settled on the field. or Hawaii would be in the NC game.

he he, i agree hokie guy VT is a different team than it was in september. A big weight is off their shoulders and the team is healthy.

YDT is doesn't matter if a two loss team wins the championship when there are so many quality two loss teams, everyone, except Hawaii, got beat up this year.

Hey I know a way to match up teams from different conferences....a playoff.
Just think. Instead of teams from various colleges and conferences playing each other in meaningless bowl games and having one game that really matters. Have your top 8 or sixteen teams play in a playoff where every game matters....A LOT. The colleges that don't get invited to the playoff get to still go to a meaningless bowl game and whoever like to attend those meaningless bowls will undoubtably still attend.

I know its not an original idea. I'm just acting like it is since its such a simple solution. And would be a money makin' mothafukka'.

Its a web of insanity for every team:

Missouri beats Illinois who beats Ohio St
Missouri beats Kansas
Missouri losses to OU who lost to CU and TT while mizzou beat em by a combined score of 100 to 16.

So although Missouri couldnt beat OU head to head whose the better team, the one that took care of business and then choked in two of the three biggest games of the year, or the one who took care of the toughest games and couldnt handle the lesser ones.

I dont even know and im totally 100 % biased.

Whats your guys's team's story?

We all have great arguements but were left with this crappy system!

**** So although Missouri couldnt beat OU head to head, whose the better team?

4 to 6 team playoff would be good. The more teams you have in a playoff, the more the problems introduced by a playoff are exaggerated.

Historically, it is a stretch just to find 6 viable teams in a given year. Even this year, you can easily reduce the filed to 6 just by eliminating teams that didn't win their conference and teams that met during the regular season.

And besides, does any 2 loss team really deserve a shot at the title? (I am not even fond of seeing 1 loss teams play, but unless you buy into Hawaii or Kansas's argument, someone has to play...)
