2012-2013 NCAA Football Thread v. The Suck of the Irish

Here is my ideal NCAAF playoff scenario.

Top 16 teams after the conference championships make the playoffs.


Top 8 teams get a bye week one, 9-12 play 13-16 in the first week.

Top 4 Teams get a bye week 2, after reseeding 5-8 play 9-12 in week 2

After that its a straight 8 team playoff until the NC.


There are so many teams in college football that it makes sense to have an expansive playoff system. The hype surrounding the games would far eclipse the money pulled in by all the shitty meaningless bowl games they have every year. Hell they can even still have the potato bowl for the shitty teams if they want.

I like it but that would mean the season would have to start earlier. CFB is not like CBB you cant just play games back to back there needs to be time in b/t. That or shorten the regular season by cutting out cup cake OOC games. I agree about all the non sense bowls keep some of them so the mid major teams dont get shut out of post season play.
 
Dopper, yea, it was probably time for fulmer to go. It was a shame we lost John Chavis out of the deal. We actually offered him a job after kiffin left and he told us to get fucked. Good for him. We haven't had a coach leave on good terms since general fucking neyland. The way we treated Johnny Majors was just awful.

Care, I like that. I like it a lot.

Yeah the kiffin hire reminded me of UK hiring Billy Gillespie after Tubby smith. Im sorry but I still find it funny that an agent actually paid Tyler Bray; what a shitty investment. The SEC east is a tough place to play but I am confident either UT, GA, or USC will contend for a NC in the next 3 years. Probably against Alabama lol
 
The format I suggested would take 5 weeks to play out, which is about the time between the conference championships and and the NC right now anyways

It would give longshot teams a shot at the big schools, as well as some meaning to winning the championships in smaller conferences. Everyone loves a Cinderella, especially in college sports. At the same time, the top few teams would remain in prime position to win the national championship.

It would essentially separate the teams in to categories.

1-4=favorites

5-8=contenders

9-16=longshots

Yeah but you are forgetting why bowls make more money. Right now they have total control over the geography and every other aspect of who plays who with loose guidlines based on relative rankings. They pick teams and locations that will maximize attendance/profits. Many teams do not have national fan bases and this is the crux of the issue.

Other than the top few BCS bowl games the bowls have empty stadiums and very little TV viewership compared to the interest a playoff system would attract. The "current system makes more money" argument is fucking retarded. It doesn't matter which teams are playing, if its a playoff game for the national title people will watch and attend. And if its between two top tier teams im sure they can manage to schedule it somewhere where it will sell out.

IDK I feel the same way as you but I question why it has taken so long to get to a playoff and this is the only conclusion I can come up with. And actually those crappier bowls do okay if they are strategically placed. The times I went to the music city bowl the fans filled up the titans stadium. Heck even the year UK played an FSU team who had half their first string offense benched I saw good fan support on both sides. Money first.. the game comes second

The playoff system will make far more money than the current shitty system, end of fucking story. Can you imagine if any other major sport implemented a system like the BCS and had a bunch of meaningless end of season matches, then had one winner take all game between the top 2 teams? People would fucking lose it because its uninteresting, and inferior in every aspect.

it's going to be okay we're here for kynd support and translations, if you need them

Oh like you know the profit margins and models that fuel the NCAA/BCS. If it would definitely make more money they would of had a playoff years ago imo. Those meaningless matches are chosen and the location is chosen to maximize profits. I do agree that the playoff might create a bigger buzz and more money, but how much more of a buzz can college FB get? It is as popular as ever and probably the best sports league of all time.
 
Ohio State could beat an SEC team this year. you want to fuck with Urban Meyer? remember how fucking with Urban Meyer felt like in the glory days of getting fucked by Urban Meyer in your ESS EEE CEE??

urban-meyer-badass_zps68eb5244.jpg


and do people really think there is a media bias for tOSU?! the media HATES US. we get our year stripped of wins (remember when tOSU fucked up Arkansas, or does your SEC bias only remember 2006?) just for players trading in memorabilia for tattoos. while Johnny Manziel is signing away to a HALF GAME suspension. if that was Braxton Miller the media/BCS would take another huge shit on our entire season

UGA would go down HARD against tOSU - you know it's true

ChickenScratch is the only sane SEC fan I know. it's so hilarious watching an LSU fan pull for an Auburn fan, or UGA for Florida just for "conference pride." do you think I ever want to see Penn State win? MICHIGAN, for that matter? I hope they lose all their games, and when the Scarlet & Grey roll up, they roll over

This is the faggotry that has been bred into college football fans by the BCS. As much as you hate Michigan, it is good for Ohio State if Michigan is a highly ranked team when you play them.
 
I highly agree. I want Meat Chicken to lose EVERY SINGLE GAME THEY PLAY. because I was born and bred to despise Michigan football, despite the BCS and their intentions to have me somehow root for them? NCAA football is so great because of its passionate (and drunk and blind) fans. the BCS will not devoid me of said passion

Mizzou is handling UGA at Athens - it's difficult to predict which Georgia team will step on the field every Saturday. sometimes Aaron Murray is on fire, sometimes he looks off (like right now - I guess the Mizzou pass rush is getting to him). even though the SEC is so all sum, I could see Northwestern beating Mizzou. Northwestern is a highly underrated football team, but I will save that rant for a later time

I do like watching the SEC - it's good football, and I like me some football. however, Arkansas is not playing good football against South Carolina - USCe is winning in a blow-out

but perhaps the craziest story so far for NCAA football is the Red River Rivalry and Texas is up two scored on a ranked, decent Oklahoma team. all of a sudden Case McCoy can finally hit his receivers and that UT defense ain't lookin' too bad. the pundits said this game was pretty much Mack Brown's ass on the line - maybe he gave one helluva pre-game speech:

"LISSEN MEN!! I AIN'T GONNA LIE!! THIS HERE GAME MEANS MY ASS!! THINK ABOUT ALL THEM GROCERIES AND RIDES OUR BOOSTERS GOTCHA!! THINK ABOUT ME YOUR COACH MACK BROWN - I AIN'T A BAD FELLA?? WIN ONE FOR ME SO I DON'T GET FIRED, PLOX??"

Lol. Someone needs to do a meth progression picture with Mack Brown. Not sure wtf football game I watched last night.
