How often do you think these 3 loss teams would be even in a NC game? But if they are, they have earned that spot by beating these supposed better teams ahead of them. See , if a football team loses a single game or even two during the regular season, I dont automaticaaly write them off as unworthy for being branded the best. USC is a pretty good example of that this year, they lost one game to a conference opponent and all the while without there #1 QB. So because they lose that game, in your view, they now are not worthy of being labelled best (or have a chance to prove it) because for one week in September they had an injury. Its such a rediculous argument IMO.

Too often. A 3-loss team should never be National Champions. I find it funny that a Trojan fan is whining about a true freshman QB missing one week being the sole reason they aren't in the mix for the National Championship. Good teams battle through injuries. Even then, injuries had nothing to do with that loss and under-estimating a conference opponent had everything to do with it. Who was injured against Oregon State? Or against Stanford? Or against UCLA?

Ummm...getting ranked in the top 16 is what there incentive is...as a higher ranking means an easier opponent in the first rounds. You know, just like every other sport. And for the umpteenth time, major schools ALREADY schedule cupcakes to make sure they stay unbeaten. Look again at Florida and Texas (as of right now likely this years NC game) as the biggest examples.

I may be wrong, but I think that playing for your season every week provides a little more drama to college football than playing for seeding. Like I said, no one gives a crap about college basketball until March.

For the umpteenth time, you conveniently forget the USC/Ohio St, Bama/Va Tech, OU/Miami, etc. games. You know why USC is the top ranked 1-loss team and still has NC hopes? Because they beat a top program like the Buckeyes on the road. The incentive to play anyone decent non-conference is completely eliminated with a playoff system and September football becomes a complete joke.

Who says its "another bad system"? You, that's who. I cants ee how anyone can complain about a system that settles the issue on the field, over in the banks of some supercomputer.

And you are right, if something worked 100 years ago, it shouldnt be messed with because it cant be improved on.

Sure thing.

I don't recall the BCS being around 100 years ago...
