BCS is BS

. . . and should be done away with. Division 1 football is the only NCAA sport that does not have a playoff system. Let's stop all of the arguing and what ifs and have a playoff. The traditions of many of the bowl games eneded with the BCS. NO Pac 10 or Big 10 in the Rose last year. Each of the major bowls could still host games, just not on New Years day any more. Rotate the Champioship as it is now with the other major bowls as Semi-final and quarter final games. The champioship would be held New Years Day. If some of the minor bowls want to be held, so be it. Most of those teams wouldn't make a playoff any way. Who wants to watch two 6-5 teams play in December.

 

nolanrs CWU (D2) could have three home playoff games. Linfield (D3 in Oregon) should get a first round bye and then a home game. Pairings come out this afternoon.

Linfield did get the #1 seed in the west and a weeks rest. They play the winner of the Wartburg (Iowa) - Lake Forrest (Illinois) game on Nov.30. nolanr's CWU plays UC Davis at home this weekend. CWU pretty much dismantled UCD a week ago.

That makes me nervous playing the same team again. Hopefully they'll be able to do the same thing to them.

 

Yeah, the BCS sucks. But you know, D-I doesn't have a playoff because they're concerned about the, ahem, student athletes. It would be too hard on the them to play all those games and go to class and all that. No really, it has nothing to do w/ the money they could be potentially losing if they changed the system they currently have. And never mind that every other division of college football manages to have a playoff.
