Will we get the playoff everyone wants?

  • Or will they find some way to screw the pooch? Anytime I see that the big 10 is okay with something it usually means we won't like it.

    I hope I am wrong but am afraid we will get what out current politicians (both parties) give us. Which is some kind of crap that really doesn't solve a problem but somehow makes it worse. This should be a slam dunk, no way to mess up, but they scare me with all these agendas they seem to have.

    I completely agree and its the reason i brought this up. When this playoff comes out and its some Frankenstein creation instead of a "best 4", i think it will be just as unsatisfactory as our current system. Immediately people will love it but down the road a few years fans will again cry out for the best 4 to be in the playoff, not just conference champs.

  • I understand why they are doing this and the revenue will no doubt almost double maybe even more. But to think this system will be the end of complaints is down right hysterical. Now instead of the 3rd most deserving team whining about they should be in we will have an even further inferior team that is 5th maybe even 6th or 7th complaining why they didnt get into the playoffs.

    I say keep using the same BCS formulas with unbiased comps and let them decide the 4 best teams. They have gotten it right every single year just about. Then have a 4 team playoff. A selection committe is not going to work. We created the BCS to get away from biased and corrupt votes. Now we are going right back to them with our hands out and heads down.

    +1 because everything you just said is how the fans feel.

    ty Bolden. Playoff was a stupid idea to begin with, and now it will be the "beginning of the end" of the greatness of College Football.
