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
