So when we go from 4 teams to 12 teams, there will be 8 more SEC teams? Besides, I already proposed a solution to that, which is to cap the number of teams from ANY conference. And while my idea may not be a part of the current proposal, it will happen in any future year where any conference...

Are you a child? "Who said"? The most significant of the bowl game sites will continue to be a part of the process. There are a ton of reasons to do so. Clearly, you don't know anything about the details of running a large venue, staffing it, having food/beverage inventory, etc. Not to...

So, let's see...we are supposed to pretend that you aren't Jagr (and multiple other screen names) who was one of the most combative and (personally) insulting posters ever? And that you haven't been banned multiple times for those same offenses? Sure, whatever. Now you are "AquinasStatGuy"...

You are the only person who veers back and forth between arguing for ACTUAL on-campus home games (which are not neutral site) and then claiming that somehow the championship is not "decided on the field" due to the regionality of 90% of all bowl sites. Are the Bucs an illegitimate Super Bowl...

You are ******* brain-dead. Tell me the location of the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Rose Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl. ****, throw in Atlanta and Charlotte, and Tampa, and Orlando. And please describe all the great "northern bowls" where northern teams will have a...

Another one of your over-simplifications. I am not saying that a game is never played in the snow. Yes, all universities schedule their 6 or 7 home games, and a few fall in November. But that is not the issue. The issue is games that COULD be played at neutral sites (and 7 of the 11 playoff...

Oh, yeah, the world is going to lose its collective sanity over a #8 vs. a #9 seed. Care to pitch any other hysterical fits? But your end-of-the-world scenario could easily be avoided by making ALL of the games neutral-site. Which is what needs to happen. No way in **** that they can be...

No, it is your same-old same-old dopey arguments. There is plenty to be gained by adding more teams. MONEY. Which I have always acknowledged. The vast majority of bowl games are garbage. In order to compete, universities need more money, and to not just give the same Final Four money to...

Again, more dopiness from you. The championship is settled on the field. Unless your argument is that the playoff (as well as the team that wins the 12-team playoff) is not legitimate because Team #13 has been left out.

You and me both!

You make some good points, but you also have some flaws in the comparisons. To say that "top players are still going to the top schools" is an oversimplification. In nearly 50 years of "modern" AP/UPI/ESPN rankings, the University of Miami was the only NUMBER FIVE team to jump to #1 after the...

Yeah. And for better or worse, this is just the latest in a looooong line of money grabs, starting from the point when colleges and conferences got control of their own games to be able to sign contracts and sell their "content". The Supreme Court case led to the first round of conference...

Truth.

Cowherd "exposed" that reason? I thought that was a given. Is there ANYONE who didn't think that $$$ was the primary motivating reason? Oh, this whole thing is to help the G5 conferences? Yeeeeeahhhhh...no.

Dopey porst, as per your usual. They currently PICK 4 teams, as none of them need to be conference champs. Now they would pick 6. They seed all the teams in ANY playoff field. Same job as they EVER had. Except now, there are a lot fewer whining debates over Team #5 and seeding. With 12...

Look, I'm going to try not to be harsh, but I clearly did not say to take out SOS and Margin of Victory completely. As I said, you can create a very fair and equitable system where the top 4 seeds with byes are ones that win OBJECTIVE conference championship titles, and then you fill out the...

Exactly. Recruits have taken the BCS-2 and the CFB-4 into consideration, which is what has ASSISTED with the concentration of top recruits going to Bama-Clemson-Ohio Taint-Oklahoma (and, yes, I know that bag$ are a part of it too). But now, if a kid knows he can consider 20 schools which have...

:100:

****, if we were smart, we would try to get an ACC + ND contract with NBC much like the SEC had with CBS. Non-ABC network contracts don't prevent conferences from ALSO appearing on ESPN...
