I find it funny that yesterday you were crying about how if Notre Dame lost to USC by 40 and won out they'd still get an undeserved BCS berth. But it's okay if they get a playoff berth, right
|
Right...then they can show whether they belong or not instead of leaving up to a frickin computer system that no one understands and rarely seems to make sense.
Again I implore you to tell us why it is that NCAA FB is the ONLY sport in college or pro that is above needing a playoff to determine its champion. From what you are saying NO sports should have a playoff just in case a team gets hot at the right/wrong time. Thats laughable.

Well, the most obvious thing is that an athletic conference is more than just about football. If Boise St joins the Pac-10 it does so for all sports. I don't know too much how well they do in other sports, but everything I've read regarding this point says that Boise St. would be woefully over-matched in all sports, but football
|
Well that would be true...if it wasn't
Notre Dame belongs to the Big East in every sport except FB. Why couldn't BS just play a Pac 10 FB shchedule? Hell ND belongs to no where and seem to find 12 games a year no problem.

Another huge issue is the TV market. Boise is only a city of 200 000 people. Utah will likely be in the Pac-10 soon enough to take advantage of the Salt Lake City market, but Boise isn't a market that impresses anyone. Schools like Nevada (although it is in Reno, the Las Vegas market would overlap), Fresno St, and even San Diego St. might be considered for the Pac-10 before Boise St.

So Nevada can overlap into a big city that has a team, but Boise St cant? I dont get it.
Fresno State would make some sense as well...but how much bigger is it than Boise? Especially when surrounding areas are considered.
There simply isnt an argument agaisnt a playoff system that makes any more sense than actually having one. When a 0 loss SEC team is excluded from making the NC game...something is horribly wrong. It starst with a pre-season ranking that no one knows how accurate it is and if you get ranked low to begin with, you cant play for a championship even if you are the best team in the country. Its a joke and an abomination.
