Do you agree with this proposal for the bcs?

Do you agree with this proposal for the bcs?
A Playoff system will never work because of the Holidays and Academic Schedules.





The NCAA will not come up with a 12-16 team playoff system because those games cannot be played in a 3 week window like Basketball, Lacrosse or anything else. A 8 team playoff system would probably work only if a selection committee picked the truly 8 best teams in the country independent of conference, strength of schedule, etc.

Reply:I dont really understand what your saying, but I had a BCS proposal a while ago. It would have 32 teams in it, and they would play in 4 divisions. When the divisons are down to 2 teams a piece, thats when the Rose, Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowl are played, and the winners of those games goes on to the Final Four, which would be in the city thats hosting the National Championship game. The Final Four would be played in the Championship game city.





This way, the BCS could keep all thier Big Bowls, keep the big bowl system operating like it does today, and they could satisfy the masses with March Madness like tournament (only it would be called December Madness).
Reply:While any placement would still be left in the hands of the voters, from there,( and lets assume a top 8 mini-playoff just for the sake of argument) one of those top 8 teams would have to beat 3 other top 8 teams in 3 consecutive weeks to be national champion. Personally, I think only 5-8 teams can legitimately be national championship contenders each year anyways, and whoever emerges from an 8 team playoff would have earned the championship, I think. Hard to debate against a team that beat 3 top 8 teams in 3 consecutive weeks in a playoff...Besides, the real argument that voters would have would be to determine that 8th spot...chances are good that most of the playoff positions would be really obvious. You could even make it 6 BCS conference champs plus 2 at larges or something...even then, you gotta beat the best in order to claim to be the best.





I also wonder about the logic of complaining about holidays...there are already bowl games played during Christmas week, when there are NO classes, and most colleges don't follow a straight 2 semester year anyway. A lot of those football players don't have any classes in January. Playing 3 games on 3 Saturdays is hardly taking away class time any more than a 65 team basketball tournament in March does, especially considering the basketball teams play during the week, and not just on Saturdays...Its a bogus excuse to claim that it would be detrimental to their studies.
Reply:no i don't
Reply:You are suggesting a Top Eight. How do those eight get there? It's back to the polls again. There's no difference.
Reply:HUH?
Reply:i have no clue what you are asking but i'm going to go with the play off system. the NCAA will never go for it with football. they make a lot of money of the bowl games (of which there are too many). The BCS is a very powerful organization.
