[quote name='SteveMcQ']Yes! All the more reason to oust the BCS.[/QUOTE]
More like, the BCS finally set itself right after the cluster
s of 2003 and 2004. If Florida didn't play the SEC should have dropped out of it all together. I'm rooting for the Gators to beat OSU (though I don't see it happening).
And it's funny that an SEC team did go considering all the shit talking Tuberville and Meyer have been doing all season. Oh well, GO SEC!
Also, it's going to be great watching LSU beat the shit out of Notre Dame. I've never heard of a team that gets the shit beat out of them ever game they play against ranked oppoents still being in the top 10. It boggles the mind.

Wasn't the 1996 championship one of the reasons they decided to start the whole BCS mess?

I'm not sure if that's why the BCS was created but is it not the truth? I really do believe that UF should have they're shot at OSU, but on the other hand I do believe that Michigan is the second best team in the country. To me it just depends on what the BSC is supposed to resolve. Is it supposed to be the two best teams in the nation, or is it supposed to be the team that deserves it? I really do believe there needs to be some sort of playoff. I honestly couldn't imagine anything more exciting than an 8 team college football playoff.

Notre Dame is not a BCS team. The treatment they get because of tv ratings is ridiculous.
Edit: They got in because only 2 teams from a conference can be in BCS bowls, so that eliminated Wisconsin and Auburn. ND still isn't BCS-worthy though.

It really is unfair. They've played what, 2 good teams this year? On top of that they got smoked by both of them. They don't even play in a conference, they get their own special rules. LSU will spank them, Oklahoma is going to annihilate Boise St. and Ohio State will (hopefully) steamroll UF. Ohio State has been one step above everybody this year.

Good luck convincing the wifey, munch. Should be a nice matchup between Auburn & Nebraska. I was hoping that Rutgers would win yesterday, that way Notre Dame would've been passed over for Lousiville but they fell just short. Hopefully, LSU will crush them just as every other good team they played has.

This is all highly amusing. Not only the debate about the 1996 championship, but the split championship in 1997 betw. Michigan and Nebraska was supposed to be remedied by the BCS championship. Politics were supposed to be eliminated by the addition of computer rankings and strength of schedule, yadda, yadda....
But now, becuase of the BCS, we have coaches and writers purposefully voting for a #4 team to leapfrog two others into the #2 spot for what purpose? To eliminate controversy, but causing more in the process.
Ironic, isn't it, that by trying to eliminate politics in college football, the solution is more of the same but under a guise of legitimacy. It just goes to show you that no matter how many people vote for something, a majority cannot create the truth, no matter how many people want to think they believe Florida is really the #2 team in the country.
Hell, take a vote to disallow Michigan in the title game, I really don't care, but don't purposefully vote a team into #2 if they don't deserve it and you really only do it to solve a problem of logistics.
That being said, I really don't think Michigan should be in the title game. They blew their chance, USC lost their chance, and Florida earned the chance. It will be interesting, though, if OSU manhandles Florida 42-3 and Michigan beats USC, to see which team ends up #2 in the final poll of the season.
The only way to solve this is to split the country into 2 leagues and have the west #1 play the east #1 at the end of the year. Eliminating writers and coaches from the polls and going by records and strength of schedules is the only true way to guage rankings, not this bullshit voting.

That's just a highly flawed suggestion, since that would it either USC or Texas (or whoever's the best Big 12 team that year) an automatic title shot. Too many worthy teams would be crammed into the East that would just cancel each other out.

The problem with Wisconsin is they really haven't had any huge signature victories this year against great teams. Don't get me wrong, Wisconsin is a tough football team and deserve a top 15 ranking, but they shouldn't be in the top 10 and don't deserve a BCS bowl. Hell, Auburn has underperformed ALL year long (or really since the whole team got hurt against LSU), and they had 2 HUGE wins. They deserve a BCS shot before Wisconsin.
And man, Auburn will finally be healthy against Nebraska. Cox, Irons, Lester, Cope, and Taylor will all finally be playing 100%. I'm shocked we're #9. I'm hoping for a top 10 finish!

As a Michigan fan, i have no problem with Florida going in theory (because they're a great team and have just as good of an argument), but the system is screwy and Michigan got screwed. No way Florida jumps us to #3 if USC wins, they just didnt want a rematch. So what's the point of a system that attempts to create a 1 vs. 2 matchup, if you can just let lobbying change everything.

We need a playoff, period. You let the conference champions from the six BCS conferences and the two highest ranked conference champions from the lesser conferences duke it out in an eight team tournament for the crystal football. I'm really against at large teams playing for national championships. If you can't win your conference, you shouldn't be playing for a national title. Remember five years ago when Nebraska got pimp slapped by Colorado and didn't even qualify for the Big XII title game? Next thing you know, they're getting into the damn national title game and everyone was cool with it. Made me sick to my stomach.
Here's my defacto tournament if I was in a dream world:
1 Ohio St vs 8 BYU
2 Florida vs 7 Wake
3 USC vs 6 Oklahoma
4 Louisville vs 5 Boise St

BYU makes the list because they won their conference. I'd rather have a conference champion than a second place team from a power conference. Just personal preference. You can change my formula to the conference champions of the six BCS conferences, the highest ranked conference champion from the lesser conferences, one at large team.

True, but you should actually accomplish something, like winning the conference title, before being inserted into a BCS bowl. Just because the team had a pretty good season isn't enough of a reason.

They did have their chance. The game was basically the Big Ten Championship game, losing meant you were out of the title game picture. They shouldn't get another chance at the title since they lost their last game of the season.

The only thing is that Notre Dame has to join a conference. I'm sure the Big 10 would love a 12th member. We'll see how many times Notre Dame finishes 10-2 when they have to play Ohio St, Wisconsin, and Iowa along with the other teams they already play.

Which is exactly why Notre Dame will never join a conference. They already have a great thing going for them (TV contract, guaranteed BCS bowl bid, etc.), so they have no reason to change.
And does anyone else think Charlie Weiss is hiding something under that hoodie? I think he has a secret stash of McNuggets and honey buns.
Which is exactly why Notre Dame will never join a conference. They already have a great thing going for them (TV contract, guaranteed BCS bowl bid, etc.), so they have no reason to change.

The NCAA could eventually force them to join a conference if they want to play for a national championship.
Charlie Weiss does have something in that hoodie. I think he's also trying to set the weight record for D1 coaches. He's neck and neck with that mountain of a coach from Kansas.

Friedgen is big but I'd put him in third behind Weiss and Kansas' head coach.

Weiss lost some weight there. Mangino, Fridge, Weiss.

Please. The NCAA will never force Notre Dame to do anything. Notre Dame is staying where they are as a non-conference team, much like the service academies.
