  2. The three outfits that are quietly reaping the rewards: ESPN BCS SEC ESPN will no doubt earn MILLIONS broadcasting this new concept SEC commish essentially came up with the concept and will undoubtedly send two teams in if "ranked" high enough BCS execs are not out of jobs. They simply have a new master. One that just got more powerful.

    I hope it comes down to us and Iowa just so beating them on their own field hurts that much more.
  4. Regardless of how many teams should be the minimum for a playoff I'm going to say what we are all thinking. Until the FBS level of College Football reaches 8 teams to crown a true NCAA national champion we won't be happy as college football fans. On the selfish Husker side, the BCS is a much easier path to adding a national championship to our history and for that reason I will miss it. Now, I get what your saying Dutch I really do. The term playoff is derived from two teams playing off. But look at a bracket and what is the final game usually called? The Championship right? Thats what the top game of the BCS was called, "The BCS Championship Game". You could falsely slap Conference standings around that game and claim the regular season is a playoff but that would be more smoke and mirrors by the aforementioned Bill Hancock and his cronies in the depths of hell, er, BCS headquarters. You said two teams play one game for a wild card spot in baseball, how does that prove me wrong? That proves me right. That wild card spot lands them a spot IN the Playoff. Again, I can't reccomend this book enough. All should read to see how truly bastardized the bowls have become.
  5. By the way I honestly am not trying to fight here. I think the BCS is a steaming pile of sacralidge to football. Its a terruble system Im happy to be rid of. The new playoff format is also going to be incredibly flawed but Ill hate on thay once weve crossed that bridge. And never has anyone EVER referenced a conference title game as a playoff.
  6. Two teams is not a playoff, its a bowl, I dont care what drivel Bill Hancock spewed out as "fact". Two teams, in an artificially created championship game, is a playoff. I have never read anything by Bill Hancock, so I know not of which you speak. Bowl games have tie-ins, such as the Rose Bowl being B1G and PAC #, a playoff is seeded teams playing for a title. The BCS is #1 vs #2. Seeded. It's simple logic. If you can't follow that, then perhaps I'm not the one spewing drivel.... Please feel free to link to anyone else who shares this sentiment. I have to provide citations for breaking down a process logically? It doesn't matter how many people say it, it's fact. There is a playoff RIGHT NOW. All that 2014 changes is doubling the size of the playoff. Want proof? 4 team playoff bracket...how many rounds are there? 2 right? Four teams play to get to two teams, two teams play for champion. Unless you're saying that the teams would play one playoff game and one bowl game? That's really your only argument here without conceding that I'm right. Two teams play one game is ............a game. 4 teams play 3 total games is............a playoff 4 or more teams can be considered a playoff because its a series of games to determine the ultimate champion, the last team standing. After the regular season is over and conference champions are crowned, no FBS team plays more than one game. They all play in a bowl game if they qualify. The top two teams are selected to play in A game. Not a series of games like the acronym BCS would suggest. I have never ever ever ever ever heard anyone call it the national playoff championship between...... They called it the BCS National championship game. Game as in singular, one. Two team playoff may be the most contradicting phrase in all of sports. Two teams play a game every week but when its #1 vs #2 at the end of the year its a playoff? No
  7. Brent drank his most expensive beer ever in Lincoln
  8. Lulz at bolded Its a bit of a longshot...........ok a lot of a bit.
  9. Penn State comes in 2nd in East behind Michigan State. Ohio State loses an early game and their mojo plus multiple injuries. Relegatrd to third in East. Alabama loses 2 regular season games. LSU and A&M. Botb those teams struggle to win 8 games on the year. Tennessee wins East and beats Auburn in title game. FSU beats Miami for 2nd straight ACC title. Loisville goes 6-6 without Bridgewater and Strong. ACC debut not impressive USC wins south and lowes to Oregon in PAC12 title game. Stanford goes 9-3. Colorado goes 3-9 haha. Nobody cares about the Big American East Conference. Baylor goes 8-4, Oklahoma wins Big 12, Texas comes in 2nd, Kansas fires Weiss after winless year.
  10. Starts a thread because tired of the :01 debacle in 2014 Thread currently at two pages and counting....

  12. I wont pretend to watch Baseball but last I knew there was a world series that determined the champion. Plus, after playing 500 games a season a one off would be nice.

Bill Hancock is not a writer, he is the head of the BCS Name me one playoff in existence besides the BCS that has less than 4 teams. 2 teams is a game, one game. Playoff is a series of games. All seeding is generated somehow but "seeding" two teams isnt really seeding, its ranking. The BCS takes the two top schools and puts them in a game. By what definition is that a playoff. I cant believe you got a plus one for that response.

  17. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_?k=death+to+the+bcs Wetzel wrote a whole book about this very topic. Incredible read and will make you irrate and thrilled that this sham is ending. I cant reccomend this book enough. Definitely get the revised and updated version.
  18. Up up down down left right left right B A B A select start
  19. Im fine with 1 second being put back on if we can negate their Touchdown since Mccoy was down before he reached the ball across.
  20. This is the kind of propoganda that makes me shake my head. The logo on the field is enough reason for these teams to justify underachieving what they supposedly should be capable of? Boy Im glad FSU kput a crack in the Titanic last night.
  21. Hey Jeff Foxworthy, THIS SHAT is why we call people stupid in the south. That comment alone could give Bill Engvall a new record.
