Too bad that the BCS is so restrictive. How great would these games be if we just took the top BCS rated teams and then made the best match-ups? Alabama vs. ND - MNC Florida vs. Oregon - Sugar Georgia vs. Kansas State - Fiesta LSU vs. Stanford - Rose Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma - Orange This year, it would be SEC vs. the world, but isn't that what everyone wants anyway? I don't give damn about a playoff - but great match-ups at the end of the year should be the goal.
copy the NCAA FCS (1-AA) formula for a 20 team football playoff. 10 conference winners plus 10 at large is what they do. so at FBS (1-A) it'd be 12 conference winners plus 8 at large. and you could still have other bowls
I like, over what we have this year. Actually what I hate is the whole BCS. Either do a play off or go back to old school bowls.
I think it would have to be a selection committee of some sort. I just used the BCS standings because that's what we have now, but the coaches poll and castrated computer rankings are a bit of a joke. The top tier bowl games should NOT be tied to conference championships, it's ridiculous to suggest that Wisconsin, Louisville, FSU, NIU and BSU deserve to get in just because they won their crappy conferences. The conference title is separate and should be incidental to the bowl selections. The SEC championship Game is already like a mini Super Bowl. I like the idea of matching 1 vs. 2 so that we can continue to crown an MNC.
Okay, so around here when you speak truth to power, you're a bitch. Or, are you a troll? Or maybe, a trolling bitch? Or perhaps, a bitchy troll. Oh the humanity!
Big news. According to Yahoo, Bret Bielma to Arkansas. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--sources--arkansas-to-hire-bret-bielema-195732340.html edit: Good hire. Definitely didn't see that coming though. edit #2: Espn reporting it too. http://espn.go.com/college-football...pts-position-coach-arkansas-razorbacks-source edit #3: wow. either a love it or hate it hire.
Malzahn to auburn http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Gus-Malzahn-to-be-named-Auburn-head-coach-105055 now all he has to do is get this: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/r...reat-qb-recruit-decommits-south-florida-bulls
The above happened minutes apart from each other. I'm guessing Arkansas MUST have been going after Malzahn too. When they found out Auburn hired him, they pulled the trigger on their #2 guy, Bielma.
So 2 schools going to BCS bowls have lost their coaches to other schools before the bowls. BCS turd games.
It was the opposite, Gus was waiting to see if AR would offer him. Soon as he found out we got Bret he accepted Allbarns offer.
Not how it usually goes down. You think Louisville is going to put forth a total effort against Florida without it's head coach? Hell, Wisconsin had no business in the Rose Bowl anyway this year. EDIT: Crap. Now I see that Strong is probably going to stay with Louisville. I thought it was a done deal. So, scrap my earlier comment.
