go Gators

 

I'm not dismissing Oklahoma as a great time, they certainly are, and they had a tough schedule. But, Texas beat Oklahoma, that's convincing enough to me.

I think there are a handful of teams out there that would all compete very well with each other: SC, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Alabama, etc., to me, none definitively stand out from the rest.

Now, my own irrational choice would be to see Texas play SC. The system is a complete mess, and as much as people really want to make sense of it, it's a lost cause.

 

people shouldn't make sense of it. it is what it is. college football has always been this way. i guess that's part of the beauty.

 

I agree. People try to justify the system, and it's ridiculous. This year, there were a fair amount of teams that were very competitive, if your team squeezed in, be happy. But, I wouldn't go out on a limb trying to justify it.

 

Thats why, as stated in my previous post, I would trust the Vegas oddsmakers more than the current system. In fact, if we can't get a playoff system, I say have Vegas decide who the best two teams are!!!

 

no corruption there^^^^

I do not like the idea of a playoff for the main fact of it diminishing the interest of the regular season.

 

How would it diminish the the interest of the regular season?

 

I watch NCAA football but not Sunday football during the regular season because evey game counts. Imagine if TTU Crabtree would not have caught that pass with :01 seconds left. Imagine the Sooners DB getting the right call on the interception in the end zone against UT.

Better yet when OU got "Ducked" down in Eugene 2 years ago. Evey game counts and every play matters. On Sunday if you have a winning record and play in a weak division you still go to the playoffs (see the NFC west).

If you ask me the players play harder when EVERY game counts.

 

With a playoff system, the motivation to perform would be heightened because of the limited spots in the playoff bracket, and the all or nothing system.

Now, the flaw would be that the schedules would be of varying difficulty, but that's true to an extent with our current system. The playoff idea wouldn't be aimed at fixing that problem, but at having what we believe to be the best teams in the nation face off and prove their position in the NC game.

As to the Oklahoma game, yeah, you guys got screwed. But, it's a reality of the game. Maybe the refs just thought that after scoring 14 points in 1:12 we just deserved the game?

 

It's going to be a great game. Oklahoma looks strong. But I fear that they may choke in the big game. I want to pick FL, but Tibow seems like such a douche. For that sole reason alone, I am going with OK. I know it's irrational. But so is the BCS.
