BCS was bad? Wait for the "Committee"

[rmilia1]

Yes. But the opening Thursday through Sunday games of NCAA hoops gets HUGE ratings. I am sorry. I just dont see the point of watching the FLoridas, Bamas, LSUs, tOSUs, Oregons, so on beating the shit outta 12-16 seeds. And you have to admit. That would happen. Giving these teams 3 weeks or so to prepare for a game they are actually interrested and vested in?

And NCAA hoops is a much more even playing field from 2 seeds to 15 seeds. CFB there is a huge seperation between a 1 or 2 in Nation vs 15 or 16.

What in the world makes you think that would happen?? You dont think the 13th best CFB team could beat the 4th best CFB team?? Im not talking about auto bids for all conferences. Im talking about inviting the BEST 16 teams. Its not like Im supproting Middle Tennessee State as a 16 seed playing Bama. You dont think Clemson could have beaten Florida last year?? FSU couldnt have beaten K State?? Hell Nebraska-ND would have been a barn burner IMO.

Also the TV rating for opening games dont really matter, its the rating s for the final 4 games that matter but you cant just purchase those. You have to buy the whole deal AND you arent going to see Bama vs NIU most years, most years its going to be at LEAST 7 really quality games and maybe 1 or 2 non-AQ league teams sneaking in. Last year for example would have been ( using the top 16 in the final BCS rankings before bowls as a guide)

1 ND vs 16 Nebraska
2 Bama vs 15 NIU
3 Florida vs 14 Clemson
4 Oregon vs 13 Oregon State
5 K State vs 12 Florida State
6 Stanford vs 11 Oklahoma
7 Georgia vs 10 South Carolina
8 LSU vs 9 Texas A&M

Tell me that wouldnt have been HUGE. The only game on their that wouldnt have a really good storyline is Bama-NIU and even that one would have been interesting BEFORE the game LOL

Geez man, think we will have to agree to disagree. dont see how you can even make an argument from seeds 8 through 16 being eligible to play for a NATTY. It works for CBB because nobody watches the reg season. The tourney is all they have. Whereas the reg season in CFB is pure gold...

From 2011 a 16 teamer would have been

1 LSU vs 16 Georgia
2 Bama vs 15 Clemson
3 Oklahoma State vs 14 Oklahoma
4 Stanford vs 13 Michigan
5 Oregon vs 12 Baylor
6 Arkansas vs 11 VT
7 Boise St vs 10 Wisconsin
8 K State vs 9 South Carolina

Tell me that slate of games wouldnt have been unreal. You wouldnt want to have seen Oregon vs Baylor and RG3?? That game would have been 64-61 or Wisky and Russell Wilson taking on Boise in another chance for Boise to prove they belong with the big boys?? Or a rematch of the OK State-Oklahoma game?? Come on man. A 16 teamer would be HUGE cash and not at all in opposition with what we ALREADY do at every single level of CFB aside from FCS. Its ludicrous

Nobody watches CFB either except for the AQ leagues and thats the propensity of the teams that would be in a playoff. CFB regular season is great but it would be dwarfed by a playoff that was this big. I get your point but I just dont agree, its cool though agree to disagree indeed.

To hold the CFB NATTY somewhat sacred I never want to see a team with a 3 or 4 next to their name in the loss column. I doubt it would ever happen but if there were even a chance of it (which there would be) with 16 teams. Dont think a team desrves to play for a NATTY with that kind of reg season resume...

I get it but we let that boat sail years ago when we started crowing 1 loss-1 tie teams or 2 loss teams as national champions. As an FYI the AVERAGE ranking for the NCAA tournament of all 69 games was 6.7 which was higher than every single CFB game last year save 3 ( the SEC title game, Rose Bowl and the BCS title game). The reality is no one gives a shit about CFB regular season either ( at least when it comes to watching the games on TV). They care about title games which is basically all a 16 team playoff would entail is games for a chance at a title.

The Committee could choose Notre Dame and the ACC champ and the ACC could sneak two teams in. HAHAHAHAHA.
