The committee experiment failed

[WizardHawk]

Chicken Little is alive and well.

ok, you too go over to that other thread and defend the choices for that 8 team autobid the yahoo writer proposed. Please, I need someone to defend it so I have a live person to laugh at.

Nope. The sky is falling if anything changes in CFB. It'll be the end of mankind.

Overdramatize much?

I won't like the changes. It forever does away with things I happen to like about college football. It does nothing to the greater human race.

I'm not shocked none of you will go support that drivel though, because as soon as the rubber meets the road none of you can justify the choices that have to be made while also maintaining it does only good and causes no harm.

Of course I was overdramatizing it....or maybe just being snide and sarcastic. I (we) have a tendency to do that here on the hoop from time to time. So, I'll continue with it.

Woe be it to ever change and evolve because change and evolution might slaughter some sacred cows. It it weren't for that confounded change, we'd be having these conversations around the local coffee shops instead of the internet with people from all over the planet. Damn progress ruins everything.

Under the current system, they could have zero or only 1 loss and not get in simply because their conference is considered weak.

What undefeated team has been left out?

Progress isn't expansion

 

[olympicoscar]

unless there's a real playoff, of course you wouldn't.

This isn't basketball. We can't have a 64 team tournament.

 

[trojanfan12]

Show me one case of someone saying 'end as we know it' for the "and 1" or the BCS. I call bullshit.

lol

Yeah, I'm gonna go dig up posts from what? 8-10 years or more ago.

Hold your breath while I do that.

 

[trojanfan12]

Interesting that I focus on something that is so improbable that there is a higher likelihood you would be struck by lightning 3 times in your living room tonight?

No. Interesting that you ignored the part that works directly against your argument.

 

[desert heat]

no need for a 64 team, half of division l, tournament. 16 teams would work.

 

[trojanfan12]

And what makes you think anyone gets a trophy just for making the 8 team playoff?

The participation trophy argument is literally the dumbest possible argument against 8 team playoff/autobid.

So you're arguing against something some sportswriter dreamed up as if that's the only format they could choose from.

They don't even need 16. 8 is plenty, imo.

I'm not opposed, but I wouldn't expect it to happen. It has to increase slowly. I think there will be a larger tournament ultimately, but when is anyone's guess. It'll likely take a major team getting left out and a big to do to force it.

 

[desert heat]

8 is probably more easily doable, and better than what we have, but 16 would be more exciting, and less controversial. people are less likely to complain about the #17 team not making the cut, since they were unlikely to win the championship anyway. it also brings the long shot cinderella factor into the tournament, where a lower ranked team, like a boise, could surprise everyone and run the table.

major teams get left out every year, and will again this year.

More hyperbole instead of anything fruitful.

Don't like these proposals? Has to be ONLY you must hate any change at all. Let's throw in nonsense about all progress even outside of college football.

No, but it further brings up a group of issues that also plague alternatives proposed up here on the hoop.

I ain't got nuttin' "fruitful".

So spell out what you think im skipping. I've never ducked an argument in all the years you've known me. Why would I start now?
