What's this?

There are times I miss the pre-BCA/BCS era


when all the bowl games were based on conference tie ins and there was always a debate in the offseason which team should have been crowned AP/Coaches Champion or who would have won if Team A and Team B played each other in a bowl game. The problem I had with the BCA and BCS was that it devalued the other bowl games by having 1 bowl game where it was #1 vs. #2 based on whatever poll. Prior to that most years had 2-3 (maybe even 4) bowl games with national title implications due to the rankings of the participating teams based on the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. Also, 1 team could be ranked #1 in the AP Poll and #5 in the Coaches Poll which only added to the excitement of the bowl season and increased the number of contenders that could be playing for a national title. Whereas, the BCA/BCS and the Playoff have reduced the number of polls that matter down to basically 1.

  I'm not sure that would be any harder for them to make the playoff... -- Gobbler-100 10/21/2018 11:49PM
  This year could be the year playoff expansion fever hits. -- goldendomer 10/21/2018 4:38PM
  I disagree -- Vippie1 10/23/2018 10:46AM
  It seems like this is a year that should argue for playoff contraction. -- Gobbler-100 10/22/2018 12:23AM
  Hope not. Four is enough. -- EDGEMAN 10/21/2018 5:23PM

  Why do you want to expand the playoff? -- Hokie `04 10/21/2018 1:19PM
  If they're going to have a playoff, there should be auto-qualifiers. -- Gobbler-100 10/22/2018 12:05AM
  Auto-qualifiers is a junk method in today’s landscape -- Colonel Jessup 10/22/2018 4:56PM
  Point of order: by definition they wouldn't be lesser deserving. -- Gobbler-100 10/23/2018 01:53AM
  Issue is with that pre-determined process -- Colonel Jessup 10/23/2018 6:48PM

  Maybe for, like, one lengthy TV contract. But not for the long haul. -- Gobbler-100 10/21/2018 11:47PM
