Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Would you prefer college football return to the bowls-only era?

    No, I like what they're trying to do to crown a true champion with a playoff

    Yes, I liked it the way it was before the BCS and playoff format
    I would like 8 teams. 5 conference champs and 3 at large.

    The BCS was stupid because it was ESPN driven. It would have been nice to see the Pete Carroll USC teams get some more cracks at winning a title.

    The playoff is fun. Like others have said, it needs to be 8 teams. There is a way to still have the real bowl games mean something and have a true champion.

    I go back and forth. The pre-BCS meant more good, meaningful games so I miss it.

    On the other hand I want 1991 Miami.

    If they can't come up with a playoff format that involves more teams and games, approximately equaling the number of traditionally good bowl games, then I'd prefer going back.

    I fixed a typo or autocorrect issue that makes me look like leas of a dipshit.

    Going back to the Bowls would be lame now after we’ve already had the playoff. The bets should play the best.

    With the old bowl system an undefeated team would sometimes play a team with 3 losses. Ohio State being undefeated and playing a 2-3 loss Oregon or Utah team would suck.

    Undefeated Penn State got stuck with Oregon in 94 and Nebraska won the natty

    I like watching elite teams play elite teams.

    I also don’t trust the new age media to objectively vote on a national champion. Now it’s less reporters and more guys who try to get as many clicks as possible to keep their shitty dying newspapers alive

    To add: Adam Jude was an AP voter up until last year. Adam fucking Jude would’ve had a 1/65th say in crowning a national champion. No thanks

    I used to be #TeamPlayoff, but now I’m nostalgic for the old system. That being said, I can’t see how reverting back would work.

    To me the 8 team play off is just another step towards the eventual 32 team super conference. So fuck it - no more half measure. Either make CF into the NFL or don't. All this 'tweener shit is lame.
