Next year...

I also much prefer the old system. It made more bowl games more interesting. Sports talk shows were more interesting. I liked the definite bowl tie-ins - Pac 10 v. Big 10 in the Rose Bowl, Big 8 in the Orange, etc.... I hate the BCS. I would much rather have 4 interesting bowls on Jan 1 than one sometimes championship game sometime later in January.

I agree

Is it next year where they are having a seperate championship game? Meaning, one of the 4 main bowls aren't going to host it but there is a game a week afterward? If so, does that mean those 4 bowls will go back somewhat to the old system. For example, the Big 10 and Pac 10 will again be the qualifiers in the Rosebowl.

I thought I saw a '5th' game being added.

Just wondering.

Re: BCS or Old System
 

you're right...Auburn got screwed
That's the one team I've ever felt bad about since the BCS thing started

I guess I'm a big conference bully when it comes to Utah, but point taken

I coul live with another game added a week after the bowl season that would rotate around like the superbowl. My problem is that I see just as much inequities and injustice with 4 and 8 team playoffs. That is the reason I made those posts. Who gets in? by what reasoning? Who's left out? Why? I see the playoff system as even further reinforcing the college football oligopoly of traditional powers.

Let's see.

Auburn got screwed in 2004
USC got semiscrewed in 2003
Oregon got screwed in 2001
Washington and Miami got screwed in 2000


C'mon, old system but in the event of a disputed national championship there's an extra game.

Re: BCS or Old System
 

I don't view teams that lost a game as getting screwed.

I'm the East German judge

Don't forget when Nebraska went to play Miami in the Rose bowl after not even going to their Big 12 title game.

The BCS is crap. To defend it is worse. Its all based on millions and millions of cash. The NCAA is corrupt and biased. The system is there to help the largest schools, when smaller schools in the same major conference get screwed over.

Auburn got freaking hosed in 2004. That reason alone is why the BCS is a joke.

Re: BCS or Old System
 

BCS is better because it does get one National Champion (most of the time), however, the obvious choice is a playoff system but that will never happen.

Co-Sign.

I like the notion that not everything has a defined winner. I also like the fact that this way a 10-1 team can have a great season and not feel like they get screwed at the end.

Nebraska got trounced too by Colorado. That was the year Oregon got screwed.
