As bad as the BCS is - they also do a horrid job at matching up the at-large games. Texas should play Florida should it play out that way to determine a pure No. 3. Last year Ohio State had no business beating up on pathetic Notre Dame. It's just plain stupid how they pit these teams up.

[GarlandOwl06]

If A&M plays USC...:( it could get ugly for the aggies.

[yankee]

i can't believe some of the names of those bowls. even ones that i already knew existed still crack me up. the poinsetta bowl? the meineke bowl? don't even get me started. i continually crave a playoff system.

[slorch]

anyone with an IQ over 2 wants a playoff system

[jrock210]

ya if only that ould happen and then the losers int the first round would go to the "crap" bowls and the rest move up until the top 8 teams go to the bcs games

[dj31588]

i was OK with the bowls until there got to be 50 million of them...soon theyll probably let duke or temple play in a bowl its so friggin ridiculous...except the ncaa is too stubborn to see the easy solution to the problem here...idiots

BCS and big bowls

Jan. 3 Sugar: Florida (SEC champ) vs. Notre Dame (BCS at-large) good game, Gators win though
Jan. 2 Orange: Georgia Tech (ACC champ) vs. Auburn (BCS at-large) slaughter
Jan. 1 Fiesta: Texas (Big 12 champ) vs. Boise State (BCS at-large) terrible slaughter, will be the symbol of BSC stupidity for years
Jan. 1 Rose: Cal (Pac-10 champ) vs. Michigan (BCS at-large) awsome game, Cal upsets Michigan
Jan. 1 Capital One: Wisconsin (Big Ten No. 2) vs. Tennessee (SEC No. 2)
Jan. 1 Gator: W Forest (ACC No. 3) vs. W Virginia (Big East No. 2/Big 12)
Jan. 1 Outback: Penn State (Big Ten No. 3) vs. LSU (SEC)
Jan. 1 Cotton: Oklahoma (Big 12 No. 2) vs. Arkansas (SEC)
the last four look to be slaughters

[Favpack]

How about if you combined some bowl names:

The Chic Insight Bowl

[BDB]

the international independance bowl.

[jtk1519]

The Fiesta Texas Bowl

[DragonBand06]

as much as it hurts to say, SUCk would wipe the floor with our poor Ags, especially with the CEO of "Morons, inc." at HC...

agreed 100% whole-heartedly

[trbandchic]

if they wanted it to work out with money they could, they would just have each "round" sponsored by the different bowl sponsors... and play all of them at neutral sites.. it would also bring a lot of fans( well with most teams.. but if the fans don't go to the home season games why would they travel to a bowl game? or a playoff game?)

[Firebird]

anyone with an IQ over 2 wants a playoff system

Disagree with you there.... I don't want a playoff. Note I didn't say that I liked the BCS, but I don't want a playoff. It'll just transfer the controversy down another level.

I just like the fact that in the college game, every game counts.

[PeterGibbons]

I'm with you Firebird. I like having something to bi**h about every year. If anything I'd like to see a +1 game. Seed 1-4 and put the top 2 against each other next week. No matter what happens people will always complain. if you have a 4 team playoff the #5 team is shafted. 8 teams? what about #9? I think you get the point. Just look at the NCAA basketball tourney, 65 teams and all you hear about in the week leading up to it is "Why didn't State U get in? They are clearly better than Little Sisters of the Poor Polytechnic"

In college football every week counts. Having the +1 would help with making sure no one gets the shaft if there are 3 or 4 undefeated teams at the end of the year.

[slorch]

that's a myth. They know it, we know it. see my earlier post.

this time it isn't just about money, because I contend it would increase, but it's simply about control by the big conferences.

yes they do, and a great Texas team is going to be penalized because they didn't have an experienced QB in an early game.( just another example of why the bowl system sucks!)

make strength of schedule a factor again, and seed the top 16 teams, integrate the bowls into the playoffs. Cut the season to 13 weeks, by the first weekend in January, you have an on-the-field champion...
