Thread: American Football (College) BCS

    Default American Football (College) BCS

    Ok i am posting this thread to see how many people agree that the system in college football is a joke.

    Why should teams get rewarded for winning 6 games in a 12 game season. Every other sporting event i can think of has a playoff system in place. we all know that the reason they won't change from the bowl games to a playoff system is because of money. But in my honest opinon they could keep the major bowl games around and have the playoff games held in those stadiums.

    Alabama plays Texas tomorrow night for the BCS national title but who's to really say that there isn't another team out there more deserving of that title... we will never know because they didn't get a shot to play for it.

    I have always been a huge college football fan but i decided this year that i am done with it until they change the system. I have not watched one bowl game and will not watch another game until the people who make the decisions figure out that the BCS is broken. It is turned into a joke along with it the heisman trophy which is supposed to go to the best player in college football now only goes to the best player on the best team.


    it is all one big epic fail if you ask me.

    ok i am done ranting now please feel free to post your opinions of the BCS and college football

    As a foreigner (Canadian), I admit I am completely baffled by this. Every year I have no clue why one team plays another in a particular Bowl game. I am not much of a fan to be sure, but it would be nice to have the whole thing more clear cut, so to speak.

    Agreed. A 4 team playoff is needed, minimum.

    There are too many bowls.
    The fact that team's with .500 winning percentage get into a bowl is a joke.

    The last bowl of the season should be New Years day, not a week later. Why do teams have to wait over a month after their last game to play a bowl game? All momentum they might have had evaporates.

    the answer to that is that the bcs picks who plays in the three bcs bowls (rose fiesta and.. can't think of other one right now) for all the other ones the people who run them invite what ever team they would like to have to play in that bowl. so there is no reall system for getting into a bowl just which ever one the organizers decide to ask you to.

    and my idea for this is just have a huge tourney like they do in basketball and just make all the existing bowl games a game in the tourney. that way the bowls still make their money and we get a definitive champion instead of having a computer pick one
