Lyle I hate the BCS too but we don't have a playoff. If we had one, let everyone in. But we don't so we can't invite teams who have done jack shit like Boise in just because they went undefeated. Big conference schools play ranked teams 5 or 6 times a year, Boise will probably finish the year with only 1 ranked team on their schedule. You want them to play for the title game? It's the system we have, no fucken way we can let them in.

Yes and they(Big Conference Schools) get to fill their out of conference schedule with powder puff team whereas teams like East Carolina try and accomplish something by playing teams like UNC, NC State, Va Tech, West Virginia and we used to play Miami, South Carolina and Louisville a lot.

Funny story about playing Miami....when Hurricane Floyd hit in '99 Greenville (home of ECU) flooded and they were unable to play at home, so NC State says "We'll help our neighbors have a home game and move it to Raleigh! You can play at Carter-Finley Stadium (home of NC State, ECU's arch rivals, only State won't admit it because they are trying to get between UNC and Duke)"....anyway they have the game there, at this time Miami is riding a hot streak, they hold the longest active unbeaten streak, they're defending national champions and so obviously they're a heavy favorite. But ECU pulls out a victory scoring 28 points in the 4th Quarter and once we win, the crowd storms the field (Carter-Finley Stadium, home of NC State) and tears down their goal posts.......late that same year we play NC State AT State, obviously they were IRATE about the goal posts being torn down but we put an exclamation point on things when the Pirate Club (Boosters of ECU Athletics for you Brits) made up buttons that said "We Thanked 'em, Then We Spanked 'em" and then ECU went on to beat State the then unflooded Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium (ECU's Stadium), after we tore down their goalposts.....outside of the Red Sox winning 2 World Series and Liverpool coming from 3 down vs AC Milan to win the Champions League, that may be 2 of the best victories I have ever witnessed.

Dear God,

Please let James Madison beat Virginia Tech. If you do that for me I'll do something for you, like sit through one of ESPN's heartfelt stories about a kid with cancer and the superstar who inspired him.

Thanks

I'd like it known that I've had this av for like 3-4 days, long before it became completely and totally obvious that Auburn is fucked.

I'm personally rooting for a Boise vs TCU national championship...The AQ conferences will go ape shit and demand a playoff. Lots of hate on here for Boise. They can only play in the conference they have. Ranked teams don't want to play them in non-conf, they don't bring enough tv sets for them to ever get invited to a AQ conference and the only reason Notre Dame has the schedule they do is the absurd NBC contract which Boise will never be to get close to so that rules out going indep. Boise may not be a top 3 team this year but over the last several years they have shown they can play with the big boys and are not just a flash in the pan

Absolutely...I want to see the BCS go down in flames and the only way it happens is if Auburn and Oregon both have 1 loss and it's TCU vs Boise St. .....I like Boise St and all but TCU look legit they made Utah their bitch.

I don't understand the whole "We've got bowls because they make more money" that's bullcrap because a playoff system would make HUGE bank and you can always extend the playoffs and even make 2 sets of playoffs 1 for the top half of the top 25 and one for the bottom half of the top 25 kind of like the way basketball is set up with the NCAA and NIT.

I don't see any reason to get rid of the bowls. Make a top 8 playoff and use the 7 most prestigious bowls as venues and everyone else can still go to the lower tiered bowls.
