It's just math. No matter the system one set of kids win a NC ... so when you preach "but what about the children" when you propose a playoff ... all I'm saying is that one set of kids win no matter what.
Of course one set of kids win...thats why its called a NC game. WHat isnt done though...is to allow ALL deserving teams a crack at it. You keep saying I focus too much on the title....well why in the hell even have one if its not important? I will tell you why....its makes the NCAA gobs and gobs of MONEY. Thats why a fair system should be implemented to decide who plays. Not sure why you have such a hard time with that.

So mathmatically it has nothing to do with all the kids in NCAA ball, soooo maybe has something to do with the kids that have a logo on their head that is the same as your avitar??
As I have stated....I dont believe USC deserves a shot to this pouint in the season. Why do you insist on ignoring that?

Yep Auburn is a great example, I agree, it's not perfect and I don't care
.

Really? Then why the 1000 word disertation about it?

Quote:
You could have a USC just get hot at the end and beat out a team that was perfect in the regular season ... how is that any different to the undefeated team than it was to Auburn in 04?
Are you serious? Auburn NEVER EVEN GOT A SHOT. With a playoff system...they would have. What part of that are you unable to grasp?

Quote:
but in a playoff we kill off the other bowls and devalue the regular season.
No...you dont kill off ANY bowls. You incorporate them INTO the playoffs as I have given an example of above. Again...what part of this is over your head? And no it most certainly does NOT devalue the regular season no matter how many times you wanna yell that it does. You still have to win your conference or be one of the 2 at large teams based on your performance. God I wish you would stop with that stuff. You still have to be VERY good to get into the post season dance....much like every other organized sport in the entire world.

And yea, Congress and Obama aren't pandering for votes at all, very credible source.
How was Congress pandering for votes...they opened up this investigation in 2005. And what "source" are you talking about?

Quote:
but what Congress says or thinks about college football is totally irrelvant and everyone knows it.
Congress has a committee that is an oversight on ALL sports...so its much much bigger than this "pandering" you keep referring too.

Here is an article about it...i suggest you read it.

And for your last comment, I completely believe that they do. It's a bit apples and oranges but I have spent my life in O&G, from that I have learned two things. 1. The general public has no problem having strong opinions about things it has no clue about and the general public would be shocked with how little it actually understood things around it.
So everyone is just too stupid to understand it. Got it. I guess I must fall into the "dumb zone" as well then since i disagree with you and those mighty commisioners.

If playoff systems are so great, then why isn't NCAA basketball more popular than NCAA football?
Ummm...because they are different sports maybe? Just a shot in the dark there. Thats like asking why doesnt the Stanley Cup garner as many viewers as the Super Bowl. Strange comparison.

Last years NCCAA Bball championship game...Kansas' 75-68 overtime win over Memphis on CBS drew a fast national rating of 12.1 and a 20 share

IIRC the football game garnered a 14.2 for the same thing.

huge difference? You tell me.

You can always tell someone who has never had to manage something of large value and/or large public interest, because they always equate public sentiment to factually perfect.
Yup...you are so correct and superior. I bow to your greatness. in now way is the NCAA part of "large public interest".

Public sentiment is what drives the whole NCAA by the way...you still fail to address that.

Also...why is NCAA football the single solitary sporting entity that doesnt require a playoff system? If it is SO superior to anything else....i would think those "smart guys" in other sports would be falling all over themselves to establish such a brilliant system.
