BCS Antitrust

[Mr Lefty]

Yeah but I don't like they're plus one model. I say play the bowls all before Jan 1. THEN take the top 4 teams and play a semi final and championship.

as it is... Utah wouldn't have gotten in with the SEC's version. and with a plus one model... there's no reason an undefeated team shouldn't get a chance at the title.

that'd mean they'd just have to be ranked in the top 8 or so going into the pre-jan bowls

it'd extend the season way to long...


the only reason the BCS still is.... is $$$$$$

yes and Utah doesn't have too many alumni like all the big schools do making the decisions for the BCS and guiding the direction it heads.. you're right it's all about money and therefore the fundamental problem.. at least they could be honest and just say listen these schools are second fiddle and just won't ever get a shot because we sell more commercials and tickets with the big names.. but then that would ruin the facade of the BCS now wouldn't it?

[Mr Lefty]

well that and the fact that the BOWLS will produce more money than a tournament will...

[tommymac]

these bcs bowls generate a ton of money for these schools. The other thing is the smaller schools would get pinched worse if they got rid of all the second and 3rd teir type bowls. They get some money for that and since almost everyone goes to a bowl teams can use it as a recruiting pitch too.

The big 10 is against any kind of playoff system. Fuck the big 10 and the BCS.

The BCS fucking sucks. They're just playing a bunch of exibition games a month after the season. Stupid.


And lets no kid ourselves...Utah didn't deserve to be in the National Championship any more than Penn State did. Until they schedule solid teams and beat them handedly they won't get any consideration (Utah).

Penn St, Michigan St, Wisconsin and OSU proved how week the big 10 was this year. Pathetic.

but Utah stomped shitville... who was praised all year till they lost to Florida. but yes... they need some more strength in schedule but they played Oregon State, TCU, and BYU...

they had Michigan, Utah State, and Weber state to round out their non conf. opp. trade Weber and shitigan for a decent 20ish ranked team and they'd have been in the top 5 I think.

I just think it's weird... how everyone claims the SEC and Big 12 are so much better than any other conferences...

lets see...
USC stomped tOSU
Texas barely beat tOSU
Texas Stomped Oklahoma
Texas Tech barely beat Texas
Mississippi barely beat Florida
Mississippi stomped Texas Tech.
Florida beat shitville
Utah stomped shitville
Utah barely beat Oregon State
Oregon State barely beat USC
USC stomped Oregon
Oregon stomped Oklahoma State

I'd say at least the pac10, SEC, and Big 12 are on equal ground. the SEC getting the nod in my book for a bit more depth.

I'd like to see (and I hear rumors one is in the works for USC) the Pac10 and the SEC to do a home and home.
