which is bullshit because you can argue both ways. there shouldn't be an argument at all. tournaments are ftw. does the ncaa not realize how much money they would stand to make off of a tournament of such colossal proportions? bowl games are and always will be bullshit to me.BlackKoala wrote:

It's it's probably going to be OSU and LSU in the NC game, btw. Georgia's probably going to get leapfrogged because they didn't play this week.
The second you throw a tournament into college football, you turn it into the POS that is the end of the NFL season. Starters get benched because teams don't 'need' wins, games get less fun to watch.ig wrote:

are you kidding me dude? it would do the opposite. teams would care a lot more about the regular season and trying to clinch a berth for the playoffs. every game would have a lot more meaning and be way more intense. it also gives the underdogs a chance. hawaii not getting a chance at the national title alone is enough to make the non-believers see that a tournament is the only way to go.BlackKoala wrote:

Keep the bowls, but seriously redo the BCS, lol.

If Hawaii gets anywhere near a title game with the BCS, I will never watch College football again.ig wrote:

i don't think that they should go right now either. they didn't play anybody. however, colt brennan is fucking amazing, and i'll be damned if they don't at least deserve a chance. ohio state didn't play anybody either...BlackKoala wrote:

Yeah, but Ohio state played in the Big Ten. Hate it as you may (and you do, you're an SEC fan...) you can't compare it to the WAC. You just...can't. IDAHOOO POWERRRR.ig wrote:

back to the original point of this thread. do you still not feel that a tournament is the only way to go? the best team will win. there will be no arguments.BlackKoala wrote:

Michigan, Penn St., Purdue, Wisconsin. No, not all headline teams, but were all ranked before OSU booted them out of the top 25. I'm an OSU fan, and even I agree that we aren't the best team in the country right now. I'd much rather watch an LSU vs. USC championship game, but not gunna happen. (Although, Tressel will out coach the fuck out of Miles.)
conferences. usually about 12 teams in each one and based on location/skill level.Jenspm wrote:
Can someone please quickly explain what the SEC, Big Ten, WAC, etc are?

WAC was won by Hawaii last night.Jenspm wrote:
What I have gathered from TV is that some WAC leader has done a great job, and that Hawaii is a good WAC team.
1-25, and they are for the entire division, not individual conferences.Jenspm wrote:
Also, those ranks (I believe it's 1-15?), are they for a specific division only, or for all the teams?

that's a smaller part of the bigger problem. hawaii will play in a bcs bowl game but not the national championship. it really is the most confusing thing in any sport. exactly why there needs to be some kind of bracket tourney.Jenspm wrote:
so the problem is that the WAC teams don't have a chance to get to the BCS?

BCS works for so many reasons, it is not going away. These bowl games draw in an insane amount of money. Hawaii has a budget of 2.2 mil per year for their football program. The bowl game they are going two will get them at least 4.2 mil...for one game. Schools will not change the system just for the fans with that kind of money involved.
Also, the BCS has people talking. People argue and have TV shows, not to mention radio and print. It generates news and interest...not to mention a shit pile of cash.
Face it, there is one way to get it to change, and that is to stop watching it. Once people stop watching, the sponsors will go away and the profits will shrink. But we all know that is not going to happen. So complain all you want, it won't do a damn thing. The only power you have is for you to stop watching games and buying merchandise. But I highly doubt that will happen.
