The Bowl Championship Series Is No Longer: Happy or Horrible?

lame bowls were more interesting if i want one bowl than thats the super bowl

Good start. I'd like to see a 16 team round robin format.

Happy but 8 or 16 teams would have been a lot better. Baby steps I guess

sorry, should have looked down. You left out the round robin!

Shoot even 6 teams with the number 1 seed getting a bye in first round would be a little better but it is a step in the right direction.

The BCS was garbage. Championship by computer model is no way to go!

It will be OK, just take some getting used to. The same two teams will be in the finals.

The BCS sucks but there is still a long ways to go before it becomes fair. At least this is a start.

This is a better plan although non automatic qualifying conference teams will still get the shaft.

its a start

Football and sports are blown way out of proportion in this country!
Quick! Who's in the starting lineup?
Ok, now who is your town's Mayor and who is your State and US representative?
Uh huh, thought so.
Your gov't complaint card, just, hand it over.

What are you talking about? I know the answer to all those questions.

+10 Internets for you!

Do I get extra points for also knowing the city council members and zoning board members? One can have more than one interest my friend. Your point however is understood there are many who could not answer your questions.

we can found out who is supposed to be there not because of some computer number

I like to watch all the bowls

they still have the bowls

No worries the bowls will stay

The bowls will still be there. This is simply a plus 1.

That's good even better maybe

Not sure what the question was or meant? Not glad it's over.I like to watch..

Happy. This means there MIGHT be some fairness and equity in college football and some of the smaller teams may finally get a shot at it.

In 2004, Auburn and Hawaii were both undefeated and neither got a shot at the championship, UNFAIR, USC was stripped of it's "win" that year.

This way the top 4 can play off. However, (you knew there was one) since not all divisions have a division title game, all of them should HAVE to have one now. Without that some teams like, SEC teams, will end up playing 14 or 15 games, and non division championship teams will have to ONLY play 13 or 14. Unfair, espesially since the SEC is the meanest and hardest division to play in, AND they have a championship game.

Crapola, my number of games is all wrong, I forgot the new teams in the SEC, LOVE the Aggies not so much Mizzou and I don't even remember if there are more.

My hope is that down the road the size of Division 1 will shrink. That we'll have 4 or 5 conferences with 12-16 teams in each. As NCAA rules are now, you're only permitted to have a championship game if you have 12 or more. As we see, power conferences are loading up on teams, as you mentioned the SEC grabbing AM and Mizzou (formerly my team who are going to get killed).

Some of the problems with college football come from the unbalanced scheduling, getting to put cream puffs on the docket. Thats why Hawaii didn't get a shot. Hawaii is in one of the Conferences that wouldn't survive in my opinion. They routinely play weak teams so they aren't going to get the same consideration other teams get.

Hawaii has to play every game from behind the eight ball, and they have a HUGE disadvantage for recruiting and team cost. Their football budget is just over 2 Million a year-which is half of a decent coaches salary, they have to fly 5 hours, minimum, to look at recruits and travel further to play then play with the accumulated effects of jet lag. Add the expense of all the travel, and the lowest budget of any team and they add up to a major disadvantage. But at least they do field a decent team and attempt greatness.

The SEC took what was offered-Texas A and M was getting ribbed in their division in favor of Texas and Oklahoma. They got less revenue, less air time, less attention and Texas was given exclusive TV rights and several other perks that the Aggies were ddenied-so, WELCOME to th eSEC, now step your game up cause this IS the big leagues.

I love the Aggies, but I love Auburn and Florida, and a lot of teams, but SEC dominates and always will. It is all we have down here.

I wish Navy was in a decent division, so they could be more competitive.

It's a joke they can do better then this .

I went to college, had to work my butt off to get a good degree in 3 years, which I did. Sports are money makers I agree, but they are also put in front of academics which is wrong. How many football or basketball players have invented or found a cure for something, or redefined ages old ideas?

Your point is well taken but also keep in mind that top athletes keep a lot of people employed both on the College and Professional levels. That is a worthwhile function even if it doesn't add greatly to a specific body of knowledge. There may not have been many athletes who have become breakthrough scientists for example, but I'm sure there are more than a few breakthrough scientists who have benefited from strong sports programs at their University.

Ok, I can agree to your line of thought. I had not thought about the employment aspect before.

Happy**

Always hated the BCS

Yesh i am :DD
