He really needs to STFU. What an awful idea.

"The one thing every college football fan wants you can probably create for less than it takes to buy a baseball team."

Yea Mark, we want a 12-16 playoff where you schedule nothing but cupcakes to guarantee a spot in it. 16 would put a 3 loss team in it. LOL.

whats the problem? are not the top 2 teams in the nation playing for the national title?

Where does it say the BCS wouldnt exist?

Ask TCU this question and Utah a few years back and Auburn the year they got snubbed.

I'd ask TCU and Utah and say "do you really think you deserve to be considered with undefeated teams from real conferences? and Auburn, well, its Auburn.

Oh and I support a playoff, but only like 4 teams, not including NAQ teams of course.

16 teams is alot. I love Cuban but idk about 16 teams working. I could see the top 8 at most playing it out and having the other 30 or so bowl games go as usual.

Heard the best analogy for a playoff....have it based on numbers....All undefeated teams are in if there SOS is at least( )...All schools .900 and better in the BCS ranking are in. AU/OU/TCU would be in this year....AU getting a bye for being #1.

I think 4 is enough 6 tops.

Well it was something like SOS .600 or more and I beleive going back Hawaii and Utah would not have been in. Makes them play a tough schedule.

i like top 16 because arizona would be in the rose bowl

ok sure, but using this year, no way are auburn and oregon not #1 and #2, so why even muddy the system for situations like this where it worked.

I'm pretty sure if they ever add a playoff, it will be one that includes conf. champions plus at larges. If only we had gone to 4 mega conferences this summer.

found it....

To qualify for the playoffs, a team must earn one of the following:
1. #1 ranking in the BCS (this team will be the #1 seed)
2. #2 ranking in the BCS (this team will be the #2 seed)
3. undefeated record vs. a schedule whose opponents combine for at least a .400 winning percentage*
4. a BCS rating of .9000 or more
*2007 Hawaii and 2008 Ball State are the only undefeated teams in the BCS era who would not have qualified.

If more than eight teams qualify, take the top eight, and tell the others to go packing (extremely rare and almost impossible case). Seed the teams based on BCS rankings.
last year, it would have gone like this:
December 12: #6 Boise State at #4 TCU

December 19: TCU/BSU at #1 Alabama; #3 Cincinnati at #2 Texas

January 9: TCU/BSU/Alabama vs. Cincinnati/Texas

(#5 Florida did not qualify)

Rocket...you are in favor of having a 3 loss team have a chance to play for the title? And having Nevada because of the flukiest play in the history of plays? And why would Bama be in over Nebraska and A&M. All 16 teams would do is cause more of a ruckus.

Also please never reference the NFL to the BCS. LOL. We gonna get bowl games in the NFL?

not fair that 20 win CBB teams get to play for the title

So you're saying you don't want marquee CFB match ups every weekend of December?

Try using this little widget ESPN has that simulates a 16 team match up. Each game would be awesome and intriguing and any team that manages to run through that gauntlet is more than deserving of being crown national champ.

And can you imagine if they did it like Cuban proposed where at least the first two rounds are played at the home stadiums? Even with students gone for vacation each place would be nuts. I just don't get how anybody can be opposed to this.


And mind you the teams that don't make the tournament can still play in bowl games. This isn't about eradicating the whole bowl tradition but rather creating a more sensible way to choose a national champion.

While the extra games would be awesome, the current system is giving us a true 1 vs 2 for a championship in 1 bowl game. No one will say they wouldn't want to see all those games be played, but at some point the regular season matters and is essentially the playoff.

But why does this logic only apply to CFB? Or should every sport do away with their playoffs?
