The Hypothetical 2011 NCAA Playoff Thread

[Hasselbeck]

I don't think you need a playoff to have a Cinderella run to be honest.

If Boise and TCU go undefeated this year one of them is playing for the NC but they couldn't get it done.

:lol:

Good catch.

I missed that one.

What's the problem here?

It would be impossible for Boise and TCU to go undefeated this year(so that one reaches the title game)...they played eachother.

Plus maybe Hass thinks or feels that a 1 loss Bama or Okie St still get in over a perfect BSU or TCU.

Especially given the entire Bama thing.

Not sure how a six team playoff works... How do you decide which conferences get left out and which two teams get a bye?

Zone plan is the Top 6 ranked conference champs(of any conference I believe) from the BCS standings. Top 2 ranked teams get a bye.

I've been saying eight teams all along so I don't know why you keep throwing this 4 team nonsense at me.

I was using 4 as an example.

Even still. Use the Top 8 teams in the BCS and you only have 4 conferences in. 3 SEC teams, 2 Big 12, 2 Pac 12, and The MWC.
You're cutting out from the BCS conference's: The Big East, ACC, and Big 10. I really doubt the conferences get behind a system that would/could leave at least 3 of the big money making conferences out in the cold.

I'm thinking the BCS conferences will get behind only a system that promises them a slot. Hence why I think a variation of the 6 team model that ZB makes sense and is practical. Maybe expand it to 8 so you have two at larges...roll from there.

6 BCS conference champs. Two at large spots. Go.

I do think there should be a provision that any undefeated team, regardless of conference, gets an automatic at-large bid.

Exactly. TCU and Boise didn't get a shot when they had much better teams that went unbeaten.. they'd have been given their token Fiesta Bowl appearance against Oklahoma State or something and sent on their way.

The way the system is set up.. Boise State or TCU will NEVER get a shot at a National Championship. Hence why Boise is agreeing to play in the Big East and why TCU was about to do that before the Big 12 came with a life raft.

Boise was stuck behind Bama in the BCS after Bama loss. If OK state couldn't get past them Boise most likely would not have been able to either.

TCU went undefeated last season. Yep, they sure blew it!

Boise lost to a really good TCU team this year.

Okie St, who if they had gotten into the NCG no one really would have fussed,(other than Double Deuce) lost to Iowa St.

Come on.

Actually, after OSU's thrashing of OU, I said OSU deserves it over Bama. Way to be an ignorant fuck.

 

[FirstTimer]

I'm not so sure about that.. If Boise runs the table I think the clamoring is too loud for the voters with only two undefeated teams remaining and a win over Georgia in a hostile environment in their back pocket..

Let's not forget that OK St. lost to a really shitty team, that kind of loss is hard for any team to overcome.

Iowa St isn't that shitty.

They went .500 against a Top 5 schedule. They have some talent. The next week they played Oklahoma pretty tough too.

It's not a great loss but Iowa St isn't Akron

You mad?

Gonna groan me with one of your 5 accounts?
