Playoffs?
The playoffs put the final nail in the big bowls and winning the conference. Now they are killing themselves by being the regional playoff for a regional sport. LSU is going to curb stomp OU and the other game should be good but at the end of the day who gives a fuck? This isn't the NFL and it never will be and the more you try to make it the more you kill it. Anyone been to a minor league baseball game lately? How about a D league basketball game?
College football is celebrating 150 years. The NFL 100 and lets be real it wasn't until the 60's and Vince Lombardi that pro football arrived. 50 year sport. We? were first
So instead of looking forward to Jan 1 and
Oregon v Ohio State - Rose
Clemson v Oklahoma - Orange
LSU v Bama rematch - Sugar
We aren't.
Whatever

We disagree on this and that's okay. I don't want to wait until New Years Day for quality matchups, I want them during the regular season so I have incentive to actually show up at the stadium. Due to the nature of the current system, the big boys know they can't lose more than one game during the season so they build a schedule that minimizes the chance of regular season losses. Out of curiosity I looked at the Huskies out of conference scheduling for the next ten years. You get Ohio State and Michigan. Awesome. You also get Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas State, UC Davis, Sacramento State, Tulsa, Portland State, Nevada and Weber State. That's digraceful and a slap in the face to season ticket holders. And people wonder why the stadium is so empty. The 8 team playoff is coming and I'm loving it because it means we can actually schedule decent regular season games again. Get on it Jen.RaceBannon said:I was never in favor of the playoff but I did look forward to watching it when it came about. Now I find myself having to remind myself that the games are this Saturday

You can’t make the players care about the bowls ever again. The bowls were cool but they never made any logical sense either. I’m indifferent to whichever way they wanted to do it (playoffs or bowls). I do like settling a championship on the field though and trying to hang on to the bowl system at this point is stupid.
The bowls were more about a trip for the fans than anything else. They should now die but instead we get this weird hybrid shit of including them in the playoffs. -
Selective memory. We used to schedule A,B,C. Now it's more like A/B ,D,F. There's a difference now. Sorry if you don't see it.2001400ex said:

Before the playoffs the big boys couldn’t lose a game more than one game either.
Look at the OCC during Don James years. Not much different. They didn’t have FCS teams then because it wasn’t a thing. But tons of shit tier teams from FBS conferences with the occasional powerhouse.
But you’re right. A powerful 5 team isn’t penalized as much as they should be for crap schedule. -

The Plus 1 was always the obvious answer
Miami v Washington in January of 1992 the week before the Super Bowl would pull historic ratings
Michigan v Nebraska 1997
If winning your league gets you in the bowl you don't have to schedule retarded cripples
Players thought bowls were huge too. There is a reason the Pac 8 ad Big Ten dominated college ball and had the top players as the NFL rosters would show, They had something to sell that no one else had
To review before the BCS the regular season was better, the bowls were better and all we needed was a plus one for the WE HAVE TO HAVE A CHAMPION retards -

I have. It was A,B,C scheduling and sometimes A,B,B. There was a buzz in town before big games. That is largely gone now. Why show up to watch shit?

Look at the OCC during Don James years. Not much different. They didn’t have FCS teams then because it wasn’t a thing. But tons of shit tier teams from FBS conferences with the occasional powerhouse.

There's some dreck on there agreed but as you know a lot of those teams with poor records might have been decent when scheduled and have some actual football history. We are just out and out scheduling known dreck now. The philosophy has changed and it's to avoid regular season losses. My god I'd be thrilled with those schedules compared to what I'm seeing going forward.MikeDamone said:

a big part of the current playoff format is that the pollsters already have their go-to biases baked into the results that ultimately handicap their preferences throughout the entire season.
Pac12 loses an early non-conf game = Pac12 is weak
Pac12 loses a late season conf game = that team is not good enough
SEC loses an early game = "we'll judge the entire body of work so if that team comes on strong it matters"
SEC loses a late game = the SEC is so deep that it makes sense the top 2 teams will eventually beat up on each other but we can't punish them for that kind of scheduling.
the playoffs are exactly what Disney wanted. -
If you cant see that the BCS was formed to help the SEC overtake the Pac 10 and Big 10 I can't help you

Those teams with shot records were scheduled because they were shit and the equivalent of FCS teams at the time. You must have loved the Rutgers home and away agreement.... because that’s what it was in the past.whuggy said:

Like I said, not a ton of difference. I remember just a few years ago when uw had the top hardest schedules in the nation people were bitching about it. This was during the Sark years, which was after the BSC/playoffs started. -

Sucking and nobody else. -
So just bend over and take it? No thanks. Most fans go into a season with the deluded hope that they can win it all. If you take away my delusion then there's no reason for me to engage. Let's just save ourselves time and money and have a 3 game college season. Bama/LSU vs Oklahoma/ Texas and OSU vs Clemson.
