No surprises there.

No surprises there. UT needs to absolutely beat down Ohio State and hope for a split Natl Championship.
 
The BCS is a joke.

Fans and media should not recognize this farce of a national championship. We should all demand a playoff, pure and simple.

I think 12 teams should do it. Settle everything on the field, not with computers.

Well good. I heard he broke it in 9 places. That sounds like a injury that could keep him out for a long time so it's good to see he will be able to finish up with a bowl appearance.

How would 12 work? First-round bye for seeded teams?

The BCS is not a joke. It is better than the previous system. But PLEASE can we upgrade to a playoff!

Disagree. Both the old system and BcS produce a mythical championship decided by people off the field. The only difference is the BcS pretends its definitive.

I prefer the old system of traditional bowls, and spirited discussion to this pile of horse sh!t.

I'm not saying that it's perfect. In fact, it is far far from perfect.

But I like that the BCS at least tries to set up a "championship game" between #1 and #2.

I like that mid majors have a chance to break into the mainstream by making it into a BCS game. Could Boise St and Utah get the exposure they get now under the former system?

I see the BCS as a step forward. Eventually, I think we will see a playoff. Until then, we will have to keep taking baby steps toward it. The BCS is the first step. Soon, I expect we will see some sort of plus one format. Then, some type of playoff.
 
The only way there will be a playoff is if one of the cable companies throw out an obscene amont of cash for exclusive rights, define obscene to school AD's

Yes, the # 1 through # 4 ranked teams would get a first round bye.

In other words, copy the NFL playoff system. Same format.

My teams would be, in no particular order:

USC
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Texas
Texas Tech
Florida
Alabama
Penn State
Virginia Tech
Cincinnati
Utah
Boise State

Settle it on the field.
 
Well I think all the Texas fans are going to be happy about these bowl matchups!

1. ATM isn't in a bowl game
2. Texas will destroy Ohio St.
3. Florida will beat OU
4. and Texas Tech will lose to Ole Miss :whip:
 
I still like the popular 8 team format:
Fiesta, Sugar, Rose, and Orange

Winners of Fiesta and Rose face each other in the 2nd round
Winners of Sugar and Orange face each other in the 2nd round

Winners of those two games play in the BCS Championship Game or whatever they wanna call it.

2 teams would play one more game than normal, and 2 teams would play 2 more games than normal. I think those 4 teams would benefit financially by those extra games as well as with recruitment.

That's the easiest way to make a playoff system in my opinion and still incorporate the top 4 bowl games and their sponsors.

If you couldn't beat us with Eli, what chance do you have now? :whip:

JK, I really don't know much about ya'lls team. Hopefully it's a good game, these last couple of Tech bowl games have taken years off my life. One more like the last two and I just might go bald.

I'm hoping it's a good game and doesn't turn into a blowout. In my opinion, we've got one of the best DL's in the nation that gave fits to Bama, Florida and LSU (maybe LSU is a bad example :)) But Tech is a whole different beast. A lot hinges on how Harrell's nonthrowing hand feels during the game or if he's getting hit a lot + if Crabtree is slowed down any and if we can get pressure on yall. Your OL has some big boys on it, so I'll be really interested in how we try and attack you.

Ole Miss has a lot of speed on the DL. They should attack with that.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but I will bring it up again. Tech is praying that they get a Big XII officiating crew for this game. I would estimate that Big XII crews made less than ten holding calls in conference games this season. They just flat out don't flag it.

If Tech's o line gets away with holding, they blow this thing open. If not, we see what they are really made of. I'm hoping for the later. This has the potential to be a great game.
