Wacky BCS scenarios

[Sportsbuck]

They are playing a a full schedule of shitty teams.

Fixed.

 

[Hasselbeck]

I wish there was someone on here who defends the BCS for me to argue with, all these scenarios are why college football is a joke. I just watch the games and dont even worry about all this.

He goes by the name of Jeremy

Hahaha, I thought there was another along with JH who defended the BCS. I for one want chaos, as chaos may be the only way we can see some change. Then again, I like LSU so thats my conundrum.

Houston might not even finish undefeated anyway. An SMU team who beat TCU and @ Tulsa are easily the two toughest games on their schedule.

I agree that they are the toughest but unless Case gets hurt or it rains hard in one of those games (he was horrible in 1st half of Rice game when it was raining hard), I don't think their offense will be slowed down by those teams.

 

[KNUBB]

All of these ifs :smh:

Give up on the ifs cuz LSU leaving the regular season undefeated :smug:

 

[Mogriffjr]

Something wacky is somehow getting Houston in the title game...make it happen!

One of the many things i would change about college football is the division alignment format within a conference. LSU & Alabama are clearly the 2 best teams in the SEC, but a shit team like Georgia will be in the conference title game instead of Alabama, and it will be a blowout. Same thing will happen in the Pac-12 where Oregon & Stanford are clearly the best, but in the same division, so title game will be Oregon vs Arizona State. The conf championship should consist of the 2 best overall teams, not the winners of each lame division. After that you have a legitimate winner of each conference, and you pick the top 6-8 conference champs to have a playoff. :smughard:

When will common sense & college football finally merge?

Another stupid situation that may occur would be for LSU to defeat Arkansas and Oklahoma to defeat OK St., but then have LSU and Oklahoma lose in their conference championship games...giving us a national title matchup of Alabama vs. Oklahoma State, when neither school won their own division, much less their conference.

Reminds me when Oklahoma lost the Big-12 championship game to Kansas State (got blown out actually), but still made the BCS championship game. Conf championship games are nothing more than a glorified regular season game.

But what happens if the teams play twice in this set up and they split the matchups? More BS.



I think the division set up is fine, but the BCS needs to add a stipulation that to be in the NCG the team must have won their respective conference.

The same thing that happens in the NFL when 2 teams play during the regular season and then meet again in the playoffs.

But the NFL you have more games, fewer teams, and a playoff system that is designed to determine the winner on the field. In the NCAA you have fewer games, more teams, and a political morass to decide the overall champion.

Which is why college football is a joke. And im not sure what your point is. Just because theres more teams/less games doesnt mean you cant implement a logical system.

Under my proposal, say for example LSU & Alabama were to meet again...the 1st game during the regular season would decide who gets home-field...and the conf championship game decides who wins the conference.

I always root for chaos. Its sad though, you enjoy the games all season long then root for it to all fall apart.

But if you can avoid it in college why even have it be a possibility?

It makes no sense to see an obvious flaw, have it be avoidable, but still be fine with it because the "NFL does it"...even though the NFL is based completely on objective on the field results and the BCS obviously isn't so there is more "control" of the system in a lot of ways.

Wait, who says it needs to be avoided? Who says its a flaw?

LSU-Alabama is a game everyone would love to see twice.

Who would rather see LSU-Georgia instead of LSU-Alabama a 2nd time?

 

nobody

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Difference between Oklahoma State and Houston?

Okie St forces more turnovers...about it.

Total O - 3 v. 1


Total D - 101 v. 67
Scoring D - 62 v. 41
Turnovers - 1 v. 28

Teams are rather identical makeups as teams. Both would lose to one of these SEC teams.

I still think the best MATCHUP is one of these SEC defenses v. Andrew Luck and Stanford. Stanford just doesn't matchup well on defense against Oregon, but I think the matchup is solid for one of those top SEC teams (LSU/Bama) to play Stanford. Boise State as well.

One of these high octane offenses with pedestrian defenses intrigues me none. I see little to no difference between the makeup of Okie State and Houston. The result would be the same in the title game against one of the SEC defenses.

 

[FirstTimer]

Wait, who says it needs to be avoided? Who says its a flaw?

Me.

I thought that was obvious from me saying so.

Are you dense?

LSU-Alabama is a game everyone would love to see twice.

Ok?

And if they split does it really determine who the better team is?

If the point of getting this college football thing right is to have as few "points of contention" as possible I'm not sure how you can allow something like that to happen.

Frankly, I've seen LSU vs Alabama. I've seen the result. I'm fine moving on to seeing them play someone new.

Who would rather see LSU-Georgia instead of LSU-

I'd rather see a NCG that makes sense.

 

[ZoneBlitz]

Are you even reading this thread properly? I never said LSU-Alabama should meet for the NCG, i said they should meet for the SEC championship.

LSU already beat Alabama...Alabama is thus, eliminated. Simple as that.
