DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 that was one of the best college football games ive ever watched and more reason to keep the bowl system, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 LOL, the Boise RB just proposed to some cheerleader and she said YES. LMAO. Speechless! Stole that one from Chad Johnsons playbook. I suppose thats fitting, since there is nothing left in the Boise St. playbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually have a legit chance at a national championship? Next week could be something like Boise vs. USC or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually have a legit chance at a national championship? Next week could be something like Boise vs. USC or something! i know youre being sarcastic, but thats sorta my point exactly 80% of kids who play football at the college level, never play it again. the bowl game is "their chamionship" for the rest of their lives the players from boise st can tell the same story of "the glorious season they went 13-0 and won the fiesta bowl and SHOULDA had a shot at the title blah blah blah" until theyre telling it to their grandkids much better than "my senior year we went into playoffs 13-0 and then, in the 2nd round, got killed by USC 43-0" plus, with a playoff system, youd see all the good prospects going to maybe 4-6 schools. it would be like the NFL before the new free agency/cap rules. there would be zero parity. at least theres SOME now in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's right...after George mason knocked off Michigan State I would have been happy if their season just ended there. I'm sure those kids are very upset they ended their season with a loss and will never be proud of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. They are in the NCAA, 13-0 and should have some sort of realistic chance of winning the national title. This world today of everyone having to be "winners" and receiving some sort of trophy is for losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 im not trying to baby kids and make everyone winners. but everyone needs something to play for. and while yes, every team goes out with the intention of winning the national chamionship, some teams -MOST TEAMS- wont even come close and it would be nice if their efforts were for something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 there are just TOO MANY div 1-a schools to have a playoff of only 8 teams at the end of the year. what do those other 50some teams do then? just go home? how lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 maybe make a championship tourny for the top 4 teams, and let everyone else play their bowl games but then we'd just be arguing about who should be in the top 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Should be a 16 team playoff. The MAC, WAC, and the other two conferences should get their champions in. 12 at larges. We'd be moving on to round 2. This should take place in December and wind up on New Years. It would be incredible. Incorporate the bowls. Then, in this case, the who cares bowl, would actually get 70,000 fans in the stands (instaed of about 20,000), because it would be a first round playoff game, instead of two 6-6 teams who shouldn't be in a bowl game in the first place. 8 teams would play their additonal bowl game. 8 addtional would play 2. 4 would play 3. And 2 would play 4. The college game would grow to unrivaled popularity. If you must have some also ran bowls for the other teams that don't qualify, do it leading up to the first week of playoffs. Sort of like the NIT. THis isn't hard. It's done in every other NCAA sport. It's also done in D-1AA, D-2, and D-3 football which is sanctioned by the NCAA. As people recognize this bull sh-- we have now, they are going to face more and more pressure to get D-1 football fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 you dont think the pressure is already there? nothing will be done til all the endorsement contracts are up though. i like your 16 team idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If the NFL had the same rules as college football: The season would end as it did yesterday. San Diego would play Chicago in the Superbowl in March. Baltimore would play New Orleans Philly would play New England Indianapolis would play Seattle Dallas would play the Jets Kansas City would play the Giants There would be a whole mess of 9-7 teams and 8-8 teams playing each other on some neutral site. And the season would end..... Thrilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Really poor comparison. its late, and i concede that it is not a great example. But the truth is that there needs to be a playoff system. All these other games are meaningless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
