BCS

This is shaping up to be another BCS controversy, especially if Penn State goes undefeated and Boise State goes undefeated. PSU will definately get into the championship game if they are undefeated. If Texas Tech and/or Alabama manage to make it as well that will be huge.

Then you have the 1 loss teams. I beleive AL will lose at least 1 game so I think the bes 1 loss teams will be AL, FL, TX, TX Tech, OK and USC. Any of those teams are capable to beating another on any given day.

Penn State will take a top spot and Boise State will probably take another. Hell, Utah may creep in there.

It is going to be a big dissapointment for someone. I think USC, Texas Tech and Alabama are heading for a big let down by the BCS this year.

Barack Obama stated that he would like to see an 8 team tournament for the National Championship. I still think it should be 16, but an 8 would be nice.

Arguments right now for a 16 team VS an 8 team. (assuming you take teams 1-8 or 1-16)

16 would allow for those cinderella teams like Utah, Boise State and TCU a chance. I don't think they have much of a chance but it is a chance.

If you have 8 instead of 16 OK State, OH State and GA will be out. I think they are good enough to win given the right circumstances. LSU is 16th, I think they are good enough. I cannot make a logical argument for anyone outside of the #16 school. I feel I can make a good argument for a couple of the 9-16 schools.

16 Teams = 4 weeks. That is the difference between the last game of the season and the championship game. It just fits. It's like God made December for a college football playoff and we are denying him. (too much? Yeah you're probably right) :)

Who doesn't want a playoff? I hear people argue this point but no one ever says "hey I like the BCS and it's clearly the best system ever, I wish they had it in the pros!" Every year about this time I feel like a great college season gets highjacked by some computer nerds and we all get screwed.

Anyne who's ever played sports at a competative level will tell you....PLAYOFFS ARE DIFFERENT. They game gets a little faster, hits a little harder, passes a little crisper. Need proof? Watch the NCAA tournament, magic happens there every year. Football fans are missing out!
