2011 College Football

Completely agree that we need something. However, I have grown to understand the BCS a bit. It makes every game count. That is my only worry with a true playoff. Just look at the last few games of an NFL season. Lackluster play in many games since the good teams are already in. I think we need to do away with AQ's and do a +1 with the top 10 teams. We still get to keep the bowl games and get to see the best teams against each other and get a more definitive champion.

I am not entirely sure that is true.  When you are dealing with opinion polls, based on coaches who are too busy coaching their own teams to watch every game so their AAD gets the vote (or with an agenda) along with the Harris poll, which may as well be run by the WOB, along with a bunch of computers what only two show their work, you are going to get a lot of variance on that.

If a team has a good reputation an early season loss (or two - I am looking at you 2007 LSU,) can be overlooked.  Quality wins don't count extra, except when they do.  Only schedule OOC games you can win. And as much as I would miss the history and pagentry of the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl and the Go Daddy Bowl, more bowl games do not make the bowl season better.  They loose money for the teams, they have lousy ratings, and they dilute the process.  And as much as I hate BSU fans, the fact that Boise State with an 11-1 record and the #7 BCS ranking ends up in the freaking Las Vegas Bowl and far worse teams end up in the BCS Bowls because they "travel better," there is a problem.

I completely agree. That's why I suggested getting rid of the AQ's.

Letting the Big East and the ACC keep. their AQs is ridiculous. These two conferences are pretty much a non-factor every year
