Question of the Day
This year it is probable that one of the two best college football teams does not play for the championship. How do we solve the BCS conundrum?? Let The Suite Spot!!
I don't agree with the 8-team playoff that has 2 Wild-Cards because I don't think you should have a chance at the BCS Championship if you didn't even win your own conference, so I guess I'd support a system where the Big 6 Conference all sent their Champs, along with the champs of the next two best conferences (WAC or whoever else). Since there regularly seems to be two conferences way ahead of the others, the 1 and 2 seeds would get "easier" first-round games against non-BCS conference teams, while 3-6 would have a more difficult road. TED GINN FOR PRESIDENT
Are you telling me the 2008 Orangemen won't be playing for a BCS Championship!?!? Seriously, with their stellar coach they are as good as anyone out there
I don't agree with the sentiment that a team not wining its conference is undeserving of a shot for the championship in an 8-team playoff; no other major sports use that as a criterion for playoff worthiness. Part of the unique value of college football's weekly slate of games is the importance of each one. I worry that an 8 game playoff would devalue the importance of every single game all year long. While I don't think anyone would disagree with how exciting an 8-team playoff would be, I wonder what the ancillary costs on our football watching during the regular season would be. Thus, I would support a "plus one" system utilizing an additional game and taking only the top four teams. This protects the competitive fidelity of every game while providing college football lovers the opportunity to see a more accurate rendering of what team is really the best at the end of the season.
