SIAP: Pac-12 Campaigning against BCS

  • http://tracking.si.com/2012/03/11/report-pac-12-university-presidents-unite-to-campaign-against-bcs/?sct=cf_t2_a5

    “I don’t hear anyone saying business as usual is acceptable,” said Edward Ray, Oregon State University’s president and chairman of the Pac-12 universities’ CEO group. “We need change.”

    I can't really firgure out why Oregon State's President is concerned with National Championship....

  • If the PAC 12 had the recent track record of the SEC they would love the BCS; If USC and Oregeon had been #1 and #2 and had played for the BCS championship, they would have no problem with two teams from the same conference playing again. Most importantly, if they had really good football out there, the problem would take care of itself. Do they think two teams from the same league shouldn't play for the National Championship in basketball, as could easily happen in the present system? I doubt they'd have a problem, as long as they were PAC 12 teams. So, it's all about hurt feelings and a strong, justified, sense of inferiority.

  • The bcs started without them why should they care now. They were only relevant with a cheating team.

  • I think the Pac-12 and Big 10 or 11 or 12 or whatever it is, should form their own BCS and they could play in the Rose Bowl every year and name their own national champion. They want to have their cake and eat it at the same time. They refused to allow an outside team to play in the Rose Bowl because they were getting their butt kicked and they were happy to keep the Rose Bowl income in the family. The only thing that is going to satisfy these pasties is that they have a representative in the championship game every year regardless of their qualifications. Maybe we should agree that an SEC team can only play in the BCS game once every five years. I say to hell with the Pac-12 and Big 10, exclude them and put the two best teams in the championship game every year regardless of where they are from or whether they win their conference or not. This only became relevant after the two best teams had a rematch. No one ever complained when Florida and Florida State had their rematch. I say go for it and Notre Dame should be considered for a BCS bowl only if they earned the right just like other BCS teams.

  • As long as the conferences are not equal (in size, quality of teams, championship format, etc.), you can't give them equal treatment in the post season. I'm only in favor of the conference champions getting automatic entry into the playoff field if there are enough at-large bids to be had (and no - not just so they can put a mediocre Notre Dame team in there).
