Re: BCS poll
[ QUOTE ]
Not really. Eight team playoff. Use current BCS system and award a statistically-appropriate bonus to the conference champions. (Take THAT, ND.) The BCS bowls then become the quarterfinals. Semis and championships rotate between the bowls, or else occur at newly-designated permanent sites. Simple, elegant, makes infinitely more sense than what we do now. [/ QUOTE ] Playoffs add excitement, but don't really do much towards determining the best champion. Compare college basketball to college football - the best team is the national champion in CFB much more often than in CBB.

Re: BCS poll
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] i forgot to add... 8 team playoffs please. [/ QUOTE ] This is ridicoulous, you need at least 12 so you can award the top teams a bye as a reward for playing so well during the season. You cant have a 12-0 USC team having to win as many playoff games as a 10-2 Miami team to win a National Championship. Oh and if you are USC and alreayd ahve 10 wins and are #1 why not sit all your starters to make sure they are healthy for the "playoffs" considering you are gauranteed at least the 8th spot. It is harder to put together a playoff sytem then to just say make an 8 team playoff. [/ QUOTE ] First off, in most conferences (not counting big 10 and pac 10) the last game is the conference championship, there would not be people sitting (and when it is the big 10, the big game is OSU/Mich, which normally decides the big 10 race in one form or another, and you would never see guys benched in this game). Second off, 12 teams is too many. It makes the bowl season a week longer than it needs to be. It waters down the accomplishment of making it to the playoff (I would think that 3 loss teams would begin to make it if there were 12 teams in). And who is to say that an undefeated team is the best going in anyways? Just because USC is undefeated, they play in a bakery of a conference. Who's to say a 1 loss team out of the SEC couldn't beat them consistantly, but is penalized because they play in a well rounded conference?

[/ QUOTE ] So now we have just proved why it much harder to put together a playoff system then to just say they should do it. Also if you are going to hold which conference a team plays in against then there could be a situation where an undefeated team doesn't get into the playoff (Utah last year) which doesn't seem fair. Not trying to argue just discussing.

Re: BCS poll
[ QUOTE ]
The computer rankings in the BCS should only be used as a tiebreaker if the AP and Coaches poll don't agree. [/ QUOTE ] The AP poll has no bearing on the BCS anymore. The AP asked for its poll to be removed from the process earlier this year. It has been replaced by a "college coaching legends" poll (that's not the actual name of it, but that's essentially who is voting, a handful of former coaches).
