NCAA Playoffs.

[OK_Cat]

The only people that really want a  playoff are fans of shitty teams.  If you are good every game is a playoff game.

exactly.  if you want a chance to win it all, just don't lose.  (insert morons saying "but what about tcu?")

A +1 might work, but not a playoff.

Or just be Nebraska, OU, LSU, or any other big time program that ESPN loves enough to place you into the game despite losing 1 or 2 games. KU had a better case to be in the national championship in 2007/2008 than LSU.

Guys, I think Stanford should take that bracket and

always love the "ESPN did this, ESPN did that" stuff  

love it

you know who DGAF and won't make a playoff system?  The NCAA.  They don't even name/acknowledge a football national championship in the FBS.

why should they?  there is none.

The only thing that would make this bracket better would be to eliminate the 4 at-large teams and just have a 12 team playoff with first round byes for the top 4 seeds. We don't want to diminish the importance of the regular season here guys, GMAFB.

I love how most of the posters on this board would rather support this crap than see an actual national champion determined by performance on the field.

Not helping with what? You do realize that convincing steve dave, OK_Cat, and the gang that a playoff is better than the bowl system won't make it happen, right?

right

16 is overkill for football. Keep it 4 or at most 6 (like conference playoffs in NFL, top 2 get byes)

Oregon vs TCU
Auburn vs Wisconsin

would be good enough, and most years there are 4 worthy teams at the end.

Unfortunately teams like Ohio St, OU(Texas on a good year), and SEC runner ups always finish fringe top 8 and they control college football, so if there ever was a playoff it would have to be 8-16 teams so all those schools could be included most years.

[Trim]

There are too many teams in D-1 football and not enough regular season games (plus no equality in difficulty of regular seasons) for there to be a just playoff field.

Yes, I believe the ncaa tournament is fun and stuff for fans, but it's a dumb way to decide a national champ.

really got me thinking now

The only people that really want a  playoff are fans of cacty teams.  If you are good every game is a playoff game.

LSU is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) arguement because they destroyed OSU.  OU was clearly the best team all year and lost a hiccup to a very good KSU team.  Can't defend nubb other than they other good teams lost too so the reset button got hit.

determining a playoff field would be a complete clusterfuck and you'd have over 100 schools with absolutely meaningless seasons.

really really making me think now.  i'd have no problem w/ bowls if they just used this formula instead of the BCS.  http://www.myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/default.asp?winner=Kansas+St&loser=Alabama&year=2010&method=2

this way every game means something and no team would be playing a meaningless season.

why mess with a system where the 6th best/worst team in the worst bcs conference can still bring home $2 million in postseason cash and iPads?

regardless if the schools make or lose money from a bowl game it's a great vacation for the band and cheerleaders.  if anybody deserves a free vaca it's thems.

How do you figure? Win all of your games and you make the playoffs.

The problem with that bracket is the B10 gets 2 atlarge bids.  That's where the cac is as far as I'm concerned.  Boise loses a game it should have won if the kicker doesn't choke from 25 yards out, and they don't get into playoffs with 11-1?  I mean, all year, people wanted to argue whether or not they deserved to be up there, the old "An SEC sched would murder them" bullshit.  Let them in the playoffs and prove their worth.

GMAFB WITH BOISE  They blew their shot.  IF a effing mid major wants in then they better schedule to get in and absolutely destroy their confrence.
