Yeah everyone just hates watching rich private schools. That's why the one school that's got it's own college football contract is a
salt-of-the-earth public school... oh wait...

I'm sorry, but at least Stanford has the self-respect to not rape some sect of some religion for a bunch of built-in fans and funds.
Comparing Stanford to Notre Dame is beneath Stanford. Even without the fans. |

So, unless I'm wrong, these are probably the 10 teams in the BCS Bowl games:
Alabama Texas TCU Cincinnati Boise State Florida Ohio State Oregon Georgia Tech Iowa Am I correct on this or am I forgetting somebody? |

We'll have to wait for the Sagarin, but these teams are automatically in: Alabama, Oregon, Georgia Tech, Cincinnati, Texas, Ohio State and TCU.

Monsieur Muggles wrote:Yeah, but the Pac-10 is scheduling CONFERENCE games for this week. Not having these random Mountain West-Big Ten non-conference showdowns the last week of the seaon. The Big Ten could really extend things out two weeks to have conference games happening now the same way the Pac-10 does and TV wouldn't really matter because they have their own network for Pete's sake, but I think they try to shut everything down early to not step on basketball, especially the ACC-Big Ten challenge. |

There will be only these few games before the Bowl Games hit. I'll post the I-AA Championship matchup once it's known, but want to put it out there now
for you to be aware that it's on the schedule.
I'll post the schedule for the Bowl Games sometime within the upcoming week, perhaps as early as tomorrow evening. Week 15 Friday, December 11 TBA D I-AA Playoff, Semifinals: William & Mary at Villanova Saturday, December 12 2:30 PM ET Army vs. Navy* (at Philadelphia, PA) TBA D I-AA Playoff, Semifinals: Appalachian State at Montana Week 16 Friday, December 18 8:00 PM ET D I-AA Playoff, CHAMPIONSHIP: Semifinal 1 Winner vs. Semifinal 2 Winner (at Chattanooga, TN) |

The fact that the Big Ten and Pac-10 don't have a title game is a fucking joke and is now done simply to avoid a team from their conference losing the
title game and missing out of the National Title game.
......which is another reason as to why the BCS is a joke. This is all just a way to keep the bowl system intact. The tradition is a joke, and it's been a bigger joke since they decided that these bowl games would decide a national title game. |

Everyone playing everyone leaves little doubt as to the true champion. No more of this crap having co-champs with matching records, but no head-to-head matchup to use as a tiebreaker. |

bergdogg469 wrote:How in the hell would the Big Ten have a conference game if it couldn't even set up even-sized divisions? And why would the Pac-10 want to set up a conference championship when they can already decide a conference champion on the field with head-to-head matchups with all conference opponents? The only reason for the Big Ten and Pac-10 to set up conference championship games would be money, as like you said, a conference championship would add another tough game late in the season to the schedule of a conference's potential national title contender. But with the Big Ten and Pac-10 already having a sweet deal on the Rose Bowl gravy train, it's not like these conferences are hurting for cash. |

They could very easily just play out the season and have the two teams with the best conference records meet in the end for the conference championships. No
need to split it up into divisions.
The fact that the two conferences don't have title games is a joke. It has nothing to do with the conferences hurting for money and everything to do with the conferences having an unfair advantage over the other BCS conferences. I'm not even sure how to fix this problem, but a busting up of the bowl games in favor of a playoff system would be a great start. |

(One of the ABC announcers openly said that he was surprised by this, as am I, having expected it to be #1.) But who would the Big Ten add for a 12th team? Steal somebody from the Big East or Big 12?Very likely the Big East, I suspect - I very highly doubt that the Big 12 would let any of their teams go lightly... even if they'd have any desire to depart, which itself would seem very doubtful. |

Actually, the current system is more valuable for most of the money-machine schools in the Big 10 11. By
only having 8 conference games, they can schedule 4 non-cons. And at least 3, and often all 4, of those games are played at home. Home games equal big, big
bucks. To give you an example, Wisconsin offered Hawaii a huge sum (supposedly at least a million) to play tonight's game in Madison. The Badgers would
make a hell of a lot more money that way -- even paying the visiting team a ridiculous sum, then they make going to Hawaii.

bergdogg469 wrote:If the Big Ten and Pac-10 and Big East have such an advantage in not having a conference championship game, then the Big 12 and ACC and SEC are free to eliminate that advantage by canceling their conference championship games if they want. And you'd absolutely have to divide these conferences up into divisions to make the conference championships work. Otherwise you could have huge problems picking what matchup to go with for the conference title game in big clusterfuck years like this one in the Pac-10 where there is 10-2 Oregon... and then five(!) 8-4 teams. Even if you just went by conference record that'd leave three 6-3 teams fighting for the spot against Oregon in the conference title game. Without having it be conference division champ vs. conference division champ that just makes a mess of things. |

bergdogg469 wrote: Why not use the 7 biggest bowls as a playoff system (start with 8 teams: 4 games, then 2, then 1), and let the remaining bowls invite teams who didn't place in the Top 8? Rotate the National Championship Game among those 7 bowls. You'd have to knock out a non-conference game sometime over the course of the regular season in order to placate the fuckwits concerned about player fatigue/injuries, but that's doable. Everybody's happy. |

What a long night this is going to be, the badgers ain't on til 10:30 tonight. Fuckin' Hawaii games! Hawaii games rock! You can watch all the football games and then watch UH games late at night! To give you an example, Wisconsin offered Hawaii a huge sum (supposedly at least a million) to play tonight's game in Madison. The Badgers would make a hell of a lot more money that way -- even paying the visiting team a ridiculous sum, then they make going to Hawaii. As a side note, You get to play a 13th game by playing @Hawaii too, so assuming Wisconsin scheduled one, they should still make huge bucks by going to Hawaii. That's why alot teams will play @Hawaii without a return game. Weird to see so many games today when a few years ago it was just conference championships. I was actually at Nebraska-Texas game. Poor Nebraska. Horrid 3rd down call for Texas, they deserved to lose based on that call... |
