What would the BCS look like?

[TheRobotDevil]

Here, read for yourself. That 10 game thing was ONLY for the WC. You know the ONE game some group of humans can select.


No conference uses OOC games to seed championship games, therefor it is not accurate at all to suggest everyone is evaluated off the 10 games he says people have to be held to that are P5.

Oddly enough, it might just be SEC teams that actually have to make real changes to reach that. I doubt there are many teams across the rest of the other 4 P5's that don't already play 10 P5's.

This is a rule that isn't enforceable anyway. You cannot always control others having open schedules for you. How many P5's have backed out of games in just the last 4 seasons and entirely screwed a team out of having one? So now anyone can entirely sabotage a team by scheduling a game with them, backing out the summer before it's supposed to happen and leave that team out of compliance.

It's yet another thing in this nonsense that cannot possibly be enforced and screws the game up even more.

Great job

Actually you deserve some credit. You gave a great example of why the 6 game system is much more efficient. Aside from a few mistakes in your data and veering off the formula a bit you were close.

It confirmed the best 6 teams under the upgraded system. Had they used this system we would have had a clear field of the best teams in college football. Deciding it on the field without all the question marks that have exposed the flaws in the current system. There would be no what ifs or I thinks. 6 clear cut best teams and a true champion. Thank you for the comparison. The numbers and facts speak major volumes for the upgraded 6 game play off. It cant be refuted with data or facts.Just what ifs ,scenarios and opinions. Really nothing more to say the 6 game system here would clearly be a major upgrade. Utilizing it and playing this games changes the land scape and results.While improving the play offs and regular season.You don't even have to debate it, it ts speaks for itself

In a weird way I miss the BCS. There was a lot of importance on getting to "BCS bowls" if you weren't one of the top 2 teams. It was a weirdly easier time. With both Alabama and Clemson sitting without losses, there would be no controversy right now. Michigan would be shooting to play Wash. St. in the Rose.

I thought the BCS was fine. And I'd agree, the other NY6 bowl just don't seem like they have the same importance they used too. And this would be a perfect year as Bama and Clemson are the clear top 2 teams.

They've really lost some of their luster. The Rose bowl is now basically the highest ranked B10 team in the playoff, who's not in the playoff. Those elite games with the teams ranked 3-6 just don't happen anymore. The playoff gets the top 4, then the major bowls are pitting like #10 SEC team vs. #14 B10 team.

The Rose Bowl was played in Texas last year. Let that mess with your head.

Yep. An SEC team and a Big 12 team took their stadium away from the B1G and Pac 12. Had to play in Jerrah's World.

I agree, a year like this shows how much easier the BCS was and why adding more games doesn't necessarily improve things.

Bama v Clemson, really top level bowls in the NY6 around it and not a lot of fuss about it.

If I had to choose between BCS or adding more games, I'd take the BCS hands down.

Even when USC played PSU, OSU was still considered the B10's best team.

Where'd you get this? Any chance there is one with just the computer rankings? I am curious to see what the statistics would bare everything out to look like. Since the BCS takes the AP and the Harris poll (if I remember correctly) which are made by people... I just wonder how strong the effect of the human vote is on this.

I don't think the Harris Poll is around any more. It was created to compensate for the fact that the Associated Press didn't want the BCS to use their poll as a factor in determining the playoffs.

Prior to this objection, the BCS included the AP rankings & the Coaches Poll, along with the computers. Afterwards, it was the Harris Poll & the Coaches Poll & the computers.

Only surprise here is that Bama isn't at a perfect 1.000 lol.

I'm guessing that because of their SOS though. Can't think of anything else hurting Bama at the moment.
