How do people with prosthetic limbs drive with 1 arm? How do people talk on cell phones and drive at the same time.
Just because it is being done, doesn't mean it's the best idea or best for the student.
Everyone in the Big 12 agreed to the rules before the season: 5th tiebreaker is BCS Rank. They didn't make it fair and square as laid out by the rules.
There needs to be tweaks with scheduling and some different things, and I think it is absolutely ridiculous that there are some teams out there that no matter what they do, they can not play for a national title. So tweaks need to be made.
First off, what? Thats your reply? You make an excuse for your abslutley absurd assertion that 7-8 players will be drafted off of a great college football team? it was 3am and therefore you don't need to make any sense? i see. There are years when 10 players get drafted off of a single team, much less off of their entire roster.

i would be happy with an " and 1 " system for starters .
my system this year would be :
florida vs texas
oklahoma vs usc
in whatever 2 bowl games you want.
the next week the winners play for the title ..
alabama is a fraud and penn state is shit out of luck . they can play each other .

There are 10 guys on OU's offense that will get drafted.
You think it is "absolutely ridiculous that there are some teams out there that no matter what they do, they can not play for a national title" yet you are against the only reasonable solution for that problem. How do you reconcile that?
Don't the benefits of diminishing the regular season some far outweigh the detriments? I agree with EGD that if you have a playoff structure like 1AA, II and III (16 teams) you will have better and more quality non-conference games. If a team isn't concerned with being knocked out of contention by playing Ohio St, texas, OU, whoever (or even quality non-BCS teams like Boise and Utah who have impossible times scheduling good BCS teams and can't get one to come to their place if their life depended on it), they will play those teams. Win your conference and that lose means little, now, you are f*ed, as UT and OSU who lost to each other in consecutive years.
How about the benefit of UW not being left ass out when they beat Miami, who in turn was also ass out even though they beat FSU, or 13-0 Auburn not being left out, or 11-1 USC the year before that, or Pac 10 champion 11-1 Oregon at the expense of a team who didn't win their division (Nebraska) or UT this year, or PSU this year, or USC, or Utah, Boise, need I go on?
Regardless, the regular season wouldn't be diminished much at all. If a team wants to put all their eggs in the conference title basket, so be it, make their non-cons meaningless.
16 teams, 11 conference winners and 5 at larges. Generally speaking the first team left out of the tournament is ranked 12th or 13th and has 3 losses. This year the first team out is Oklahoma St by BCS rankings. That means that the regular season would be so meaningless that OSU's loss to OU, Mizzou's lose to KU and their subsequent loss to OU kept them out of the tournament, it also meant that PSU had to beat MSU in the final week of the season to assure they were in, lose and they might well have fallen out, it also meant Oregon St's loss to Oregon knocked them out (and gave life to TCU, otherwise USC would have been an at large). would it diminish certain games, sure, but it is a gross mis-characterization to say it would turn into the NFL or NCAA.
And answering your #2, how about March friggin Madness? Which this would surpass in a heartbeat. Every secretary and receptionist in the country is in a March Madness pool.

You could care less about draft picks and players? Oddly, this thread was not directed towards you. Did anyone say, "hey beantown, who do you think will be drafted?" or "hey beantown, do you care about picks and players?" perhaps i missed that portion of the thread.
I realize that the entire concept of a thread is a complicated one, but do your best to follow along.
thanks and bol
#4 - Final Exams, School, etc. These are student-athletes. Not athletic-students. Extending a playoff system out over 3-4 weeks throughout December can ruin final exams for these kids. This is reason #4, not reason #1.
Have to disagree...most of these kids are athlete-students...sports is all they got..Id love to see the percentage that make it through 4 years

hey 44 you will never see a bowl playoff system so why are you wasting your time and energy on ragtime talk.as a matter of fact they added two new bowls this year.the more bowls the more the money is spread around for all schools.
you will never see a playoff system in college football
you will never see a playoff system in college football
you are correct!!!!! basketball and football players are athletes-students at a rate of 75-80% at least.
when these teams go to hawaii for the preseason hoop tournament and are gone for a week, i don't remember coll presidents saying they can't go because of their school work.
my kid plays college hoops and was gone for 3 days and 4 days on road trips. no tutor because they are cutting back on cost.
my nephew plays D1 fb and says more than half the team has grade problems. he said coaches would tell them to go to class and to study hall and don't cause any problems and your grades will take care of themselves.
would love to see the GPA of the memphis hoop team.
these kids are not in college for their brains, far from it.
these bowl games or a playoff system has nothing to do with the kids or their school work, it's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
