Need 16 Team Playoff Playoff ....


Nov 4, 2012, 8:50 PM [ in reply to Who else can't wait until college football has a real ]

Winner of each BCS Conference (11)

+

5 wildcards (determined by ranking not a BCS conference champion)

= 16 teams

8 + 4 + 2 + 1 current Bowls used for payoff games

Leftover Bowls can be used for the usual exhibition matches

Reduce regular season to 11 games to make room

16/8/4/2/1? These kids cannot play 5 more games! Is that what you meant?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

16 teams = 8 games; 8 teams = 4 games; etc...so that would


Nov 5, 2012, 12:22 PM

be 4 games if you made it to NC game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Of course they can.


Nov 5, 2012, 12:32 PM [ in reply to Re: Need 16 Team Playoff Playoff .... ]

A 16 team playoff with an 11-game regular season schedule means:

8 of the teams would actually play fewer games than they do now (11 plus playoff instead of 12 plus bowl).

4 of the teams would play the same amount as they do now. (11 plus two playoff instead of 12 plus one bowl)

2 of the teams would play one more game than they do now.

2 of the teams would play two more games than they do now.

That's hardly worse than what they do now, and not any worse than any of the playoff subdivisions.

Oh, the 11 game schedule would also mean that the

ESPN will still have their polls and will try to influence the committee.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You do realize that we are ranked inside the top 10 in all


Nov 5, 2012, 7:50 AM [ in reply to Who else can't wait until college football has a real ]

human polls - including the AP poll which is potentially the most biased by media.

The computers are what have us ranked so low - so this totally blows your media bias argument out the window.

The SEC has 5 teams in the top 12 in all 3 human polls.


Nov 5, 2012, 12:25 PM [ in reply to You do realize that we are ranked inside the top 10 in all ]

4 of them are ranked ahead of us in every one. Having all of these SEC teams ranked this highly from the start practically insures that the SEC has multiple top 10 teams going into bowl season. You can't convince me that having the SEC treated as it's flagship product by the premier sports media network in the world does not give them an unfair advantage in terms of influence and that it does not create a bias, conscious or not. ESPN definitely creates the impression, whether it is true or not, that the SEC has some kind of mystique, an almost magical power that, well, you know, makes it the best football conference in America, and that any team in that conference is better for it, no matter how terrible they may be in reality. So, while we may be 8th or 10th in these polls, there will always be 4 ahead of us until a non-SEC school beats them.

I don't know how the computers arrive at the SOS factor, but I can't help but wonder if the data used isn't corrupted by this same bias.

ACC stinks. CU & ACC have ZERO quality noncon Ws, many Ls.


Nov 5, 2012, 12:23 AM

People here act like the BCS is unfairly discriminating against Clemson but the computers legitimately ding Clemson because our SOS is pathetic.
* Clemson hasn't beaten a good team yet.
* Clemson has only beaten 2 AQ teams with winning records, Wake & Duke.

The ACC absolutely stinks this year.
* The ACC is 5-10 vs non-con AQ schools.
* The ACC has zero wins over currently ranked non-con opponents.
* The ACC has 4 losses to non-AQ teams.

ACC Wins Over AQs:
FSU beat USF
Clemson beat Auburn
NCSU beat UConn
UMD beat Temple
UVA beat PSU

ACC Losses to AQs:
NCSU lost to Tennessee
UMD lost to UConn
UMD lost to WVU
BC lost to NW
Miami lost to K-State (52-13)
UNC lost to Louisville
Duke lost to Stanford
VT lost to Pitt
VT lost to Cinci
UVA lost to TCU

Notable ACC losses to non-AQs:
BC lost to Army
GT lost to BYU
GT lost to MTSU
UVA lost to LaTech

We play a schedule agreed upon years ago....


Nov 5, 2012, 1:30 AM

if I'm not mistaken. We can do NOTHING about that. I agree, the ACC stinks this year but we beat the teams we are scheduled to play, and beat them like a drum. We lost to a what the coaches think is a top 6 FSU. A team I like against 4 of the 5 teams the BCS has in front of them in the top 10. Yes, the SEC has Bama and had LSU but when the outcome of the games between UGA, LSU, Fla., and Usuck come down to 4,5, or even 6 turnovers, you aren't going to convince me they're all playing solid top 10 program football either. Bama, K State, and Oregon....then the rest. IMO, my Tiger's would give anyone a tough game. GO TIGERS, not a conference we can deflect to in an attempt to hide my past.
