crashcarson15 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 And at least in a playoff system, there's an easy response if schools cry about getting snubbed - win your conference and/or get ranked higher next year, and you'll be in. In the current system, it's not so clear-cut, because everything is so arbitrary.With a small playoff system, there wouldn't really be much opportunity for an "undeserving" team to get in... whereas really good teams get left out of title contention regularly in the BCS (2004 Auburn/Utah and 2010 TCU spring to mind immediately).Out of curiotisty, what made the undefeated Horn Frogs more deserving of a shot at the National Championship then the undefeated Ducks and Tigers?I think the argument is that they weren't. They were just as deserving of a shot, as all three teams beat all of their regular season opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Remember all the crying from Bucs, Giants, and Rams fans last year about 7-9 Seattle making the playoffs over them?Why do you gotta include is in this crap? We deserved to miss the playoffs after that performance in Week 17 against Seattle.-------------------You're right, people do complain about snubs in larger tournaments such as the NCAA basketball tournament. The difference is that everybody forgets about the whining 5 minutes after the first tipoff, which in college football you have teams and fanbases loudly and publicly complaining about being snubbed years after the fact.

crashcarson15 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 ^Also, in college basketball you're dealing with complaining about the 69th best team not getting a shot to play for the title. In college football, the third best team doesn't get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The SEC still doesn't get respected enough. Only eight teams in the top 25? Come on.As to the playoffs, an 11 team playoff between the 11 conference champions is probably the way to go. Don't win your conference? You're not good enough.So PAC-12, ACC, SEC #2s are not as good as MAC, WAC, and SBC champions. Got it.

I do not think anyone who didn't win their conference championship has a legitimate claim to the national championship. Besides, most likely the MAC, WAC, and SBC champs would have to win four games in four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah, I thought the TCU-Baylor game would be the only shocker of the week until I see Utah State going ahead of Auburn. I get that it's the first game without Newton and Fairley, but damn Auburn... No need for letting Utah State whip your asses on the ground there (Even though I say that, Auburn is now ahead. Go figure).Other then that game and the Northwestern-BC game, it's been kinda dull. Come on people! Give me upsets. Give me chaos. Give me excitement. Give me a reason to tell rams80 to bust out the 'Shipment of Fail' pic. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 ^^^You must not have access to Middle Tennessee @ Purdue or Miami (OH)@ Mizzou.I don't have access to the MTSU/Purdue game (Even then, they only had it on because the game I'm getting on the Big Ten Network, which is Tennessee Tech at Iowa, is in the middle of weather issues). I do have access to Miami of Ohio/Mizzou, and to be honest: Neither team looks that impressive right now. Granted, Mizzou did score, but... I sort of have doubts with both teams.
