@creepycoug's energy output in this thread is enough to power
a small New England towna small Cuban village. -
Just imagine this thread if he never took that "walk on the beach". This damn thing would be 100 pages long.

Big girls need love too. Don't hate; appreciate.

Which is to say, not much.

I think multiple things can true at once in this age old debate.
Yes, @creepycoug is right that Miamuh hosting Big Red in the Orange Bowl ain't quite like UW hosting Nebraska for a home game in Seattle. This is fair.
But at the same, time UW going into Lincoln early in the season ain't like Miamuh playing Nebraska down the street from Coral Gables.
I'm also a traditionalist who never had a problem with the old ways of College Football and co-national champs. The BCS was NOT an improvement for the sport in my opinion.

The BCS was Eve's bite of the forbidden fruit that led us to this unholy abortion of college football.
Old man lawn comment incoming: the old system was just fine.
But sure, let James Madison, Tulane or Navy into the playoff. IDRGAF anymore.

Ultimately I think some form of championship and playoff was right for college football I guess, but the beauty of this thread is an underrated BI-product of the weird ass way college football was organized in it's prime. 35 years later we have two happy fanbases arguing about who was better and it will last until we all die of the AIDs this site and microplastics give us.
The inverse of this is 84 were Dwag fans probably should have another true national title but were robbed by the old system (probably).

It's an abortion no doubt @creepycoug . Something that's evil and unholy.
@Dennis_DeYoung always summed it up best- i.e., that it's really hard to make and NFL model work for a highly regional sport with huge disparities in scheduling, resources, etc. It was a better sport where where you had like 4 or 5 Super Bowls- i.e., winning the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Fiesta, etc. If you got a Natty it was just icing on the cake.
I believe it was the most evil and unholy program in CFB, Pedo State, which got butt hurt (lulz) which cause the B1G to fold and give up the Rose Bowl right?

Listen, I say this as a die-hard Canes fan whose team would likely have one and even maybe two more natties under the current system ('88 and '90): the old system was awesome for the reasons given by Yella and you just now. It made it interesting and fun and it made you feel like you had equity in something local or regional to you.
