Yes Virginia there are playoffs in the FBS

Ask the folks in Eugene where the Ducks and Beavers played a dandy for the right to go to the Rose Bowl.
Nebraska and Texas have a playoff for the Big 12 championship and nothing is bigger than Florida and Alabama in their playoff for the top spot in the SEC. Aren't these meaningful playoffs or is that reserved for whoever winds up in Chattanooga? Do you have to have a championship run through four weekends? You tell me.
 
Um....what about TCU, Boise State, Cinci???? All undefeated with no chance of a national title. Even though the Ducks lost 2 games I think they could beat Bama, Florida, or Texas. But, they'll never have a chance.

An 8 team playoff in FBS this year would be awesome:

Bama vs. Boise St
Texas vs. Cinci
TCU vs. Ohio State
Florida vs. Oregon

An eight team field would be adequate for FCS, too. Maybe 12 with first week byes for the four seeds. 20 is crazy. There will be at least 8 that don't belong.
 
Yeah i really am opposed to this whole 20 thing next year....not to mention moving the title game to January.....NCAA really screw the proverbial pooch with this one.....

Oregon- Oregon St had nothing to do with the FBS/BCS National Championship.

But if they had a playoff system then one would of at least had a chance at a National Championship - but even if the President of the U.S. can't get it changed then I'm guessing it will never happen - Very Sad in my opinion!!!

That's why everyone should hate rich old white men that control all of the money.

Couldn't have said better myself. It's a HUGE stretch to say there is any resemblance of a playoff system in the FBS.

Another reason I think 8 works for BCS is the amount of TV coverage and media exposure makes easier to evaluate teams during the season. Still think 16 would be better.
 
Personally, if my team can't win the NC, I'll take the several hundred thousand to a million dollars in bowl games rather than sitting at home, out of the playoffs, with no revenue coming in. Championships are nice, but I'll take the financial stability in the long run. Bo Schembechler coached for 20 years and admitted that while winning "one of those national suckers" would be nice, he'd take the Rose Bowls and beating Ohio State any day.

TCU and Boise State have already come out and they have said that the system will work for them. I can see why. Give me the millions in BCS revenue over dropping football (Hofstra *cough cough*).

20 is absolutely crazy. There were 3 teams that didn't belong in the 1st round this year.

12 to 16 is best.
 
1. UO-OSU wasn't a playoff game. It may have had a playoff atmosphere, but that often happens in late-season games, particularly rivalry games.

2. "Don't belong?" Sounds like someone wanting to weasel his way out of a possible upset. At the risk of bringing down the wrath of the board by changing sports, I'm sure there are a TON of North Carolina fans who STILL whine that Weber didn't belong the year the Wildcats knocked them out in the first round. I'd like to see what these frontrunners say when one of those 8 that supposedly "don't belong" knocks out a top seed or two.
 
The BCS "playoff" system is ample reason why the Grizzlies shouldn't move up. Boise State would have to be undefeated for ten years to ever get a shot at a national championship (if then). I don't care how much money the BCS pays, I want to see it played out on the field. Given the Grizzlies won-lost record over the last 17 years, they might have won more championships on a BCS scale where they hand out the championship to the team they think might be the best. I would rather have it won on the field so there is no doubt.

You are a bigger jackass than I thought... :roll: :roll: It must be so simple for one as slow as you to think that a conference championship is a playoff. But then again you also think that 30 + bowel games are entertaining. :wtf: :wtf: :thumb: :stfu: :stfu: :shock:

You may not care how much the money pays, and that's great. However, idealism must yield at some point. You may shun the money from bowl revenues, but in the long run, BSU will be a national player. They're doing everything right. Chris Peterson has said the system will work for them, and so did TCU.

You small schools and fairness types want everything on a platter and won't give anything. I'd venture to say you're far more arrogant than the larger schools because you assume that just because you're Cinderella, you're entitled to something. You're not.

So WHAT if you're in a worse position and you have to do more than the other guys to get your fair share of the cake?! Quit whining and get to work. Yes, it's thankless. Yes, there is disrespect. Suck it up, and deal with it.

Bowl games are better financially and are a more viable program builder than playoffs. It must be so simple for one as slow as you to think a playoff is healthy for smaller teams

I don't know this to be fact, but doesn't each team have to meet some pretty high attendance commitments to get the financial benefit from going to a bowl? If you don't sell your minimum ticket requirement, couldn't your program actually lose money?
