College Football Playoffs

They start next year, but it might be a year too late. The top 4 teams in the nation this year look like they are going to run the table. What a mess it will be if they have 4 undefeated teams that are not only winning, but thoroughly dominating their opponents. 2 of those teams are going to be sorely disappointed when they dont end up in the NCG.

Fuck you NCAA and BCS committee.

Hell yes playoffs. They need to have the damn brackets like bball does. Its ridiculous how CFB is set up, has foe 100 years. BCS made it worse, becuase even though the computers are "stats only", style points count. Yes, that makes sense.

Oregon has their best team EVER this year. They are good. REAL good. And fast. Their DL averages 6'6". That is insane length at that position. They have 3 guys that are going to play on Sundays in the secondary. They have a likely Heisman winner at QB, and the most dangerous player in the nation in DAT. He missed 2 games, and they still averaged nearly 600 yards a game in total yardage. They have the 2nd best offense in the nation. They have a top 10 defense (scoring). They have beat the pants off off everyone they played, including handing Tennessee (SEC) their worst loss...EVER.

Oregon, IMHO, would beat Bama this year. Hands down. Hell, i think FSU would beat Bama this year. In fact, im going to puke when i have to watch Bama play in the NCG again this year. FSU and Oregon? Look out. THAT is the game you want to watch. Speed vs. speed. two young QB's battling it out for post season hardware.

Money is always the issue. Someone is always crying that they wont get their cut anymore. Really gets under my skin, especially in sports.

No, because i dont bet. But i know football.

You dont have to agree with me, i really couldn't care less.

Sports Entertainment is wrestling, not football.

Money has become an issue in college sports the last 20 years. At one point, CFB was "pure" in the sense that big corporations didnt have their hand in it. It wasn't always the Fed Ex Orange Bowl...it was just the Orange Bowl.

Agreed 100%. Imagine the hype going in with a bball style bracket. Thake the top 32 instead of 64.

Im not entirely sold on Baylor. The real test is this stretch they have coming the next 4 weeks: 3 of the 4 are ranked.

I guess i dont understand what you are referring to, but either way....you can certainly leave and not read it/post in it any longer.

CFB needed a "playoff" system ever since teams like BYU won the National Title in 1984, which is a complete joke. Even before that, there was was always split votes in several polls (sometimes up to 10 different poll systems and voters) over who should win. There was no real way of calculating who would win, especially since there was no real NCG, and the bowls had specific ties (ie Big 10 vs Pac-8/10 for the RB). It just never made any sense. Why does Div 1AA (FCS = Football Championship Series) do it, but Div 1A (FBS = Football Bowl Series) doesn't? Really makes no logical sense.

Im at a bit of a crossroads here becuase while i have an inherent disdain for all things duck, im really getting tired of the SEC prancing around. And while i didn't hate Chip Kelly (in fact, i dug his style), there was just something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. I really liked Belotti. And i like Helfrich a lot. And i respect what Oregon has done: made an irrelevant program a winning program. Its actually very impressive. They proved that money and marketing can actually turn a "podunk" school into a sports powerhouse (the other sports programs have also reaped the benefits, as many of their other sports are also highly ranked re: bball, volleyball, soccer, etc.). I think i have finally come to grips that Oregon is a very real contender for getting its first NC. And im OK with it. We (UW) dominated Oregon for nearly 100 years. The tides turned when 1) schollie restrictions were put in place in CFB (85 on active roster, 105 total) and b) when UW started getting put on probation in the early/mid 90's. Its no coincidence that Oregon began its ascent in 1994.

Im as calm as can be.

Anyways, you brought up that there was "pure blasphemy" in this thread, which is about a playoff system. I just connected the dots.
