Don't say it would never happen either because it does now in the NFL, there would be no reason to not think it wouldn't happen in college ball either.

  
  If so, it would happen in the other college divisions. To my knowledge, it doesn't.

  The difference though qcb, is that there's little money involved in the lower division play-offs. There's no incentive to do so, whereas there is plenty in D1. I agree about there being a small percentage of chance, but I don't want any chance of rivalry games being compromised.

  If a bowl system truly was a "better" system, if it truly made more sense, how come the NFL doesn't have a yearly debate with backers of a BCS type system where the best AFC regular season team should be paired against the best NFC team.? Why aren't there threads on this?
  
  someone please link me to a sport who has a playoff and also has any type of fan backlash on the fact that they have a playoff instead of a bowl system?
  
  It's kind of like some guy starting a company .. where his employees wear purple dot suspenders. He thinks this is the best way to apply customer service. Other companies will catch on!. The company sticks to the policy for 40 years... its now a tradition "This is going to catch on" they say. However, no one else ever picked up the purple suspenders.. because its dumb as shit. Purple suspenders doesn't equal better customer service you fool. You all just look like a bunch of douche bags trying to scare the customers. Get away from the customers!
  
  I have yet to see a trend in this direction. It's because the bowl systems is truly the gayest idea ever created. Some guy who attempted to give multiple teams a trophy and a feel good attitude to end the season somehow gathered the power and support of a few other idiotic do gooders and created this massive black whole of stupidity that is the BOWL GAMES
  
  
  LETS PLAY FOR CONSOLATION! WOOO!!

  There are already millions on the line with the current system. If sandbagging was going to happen in college, it would be happening now. Like I said, just last year Ohio State had the Big 10 championship wrapped up, knew they were going to the Rose Bowl, but yet still played the Michigan game straight.
  
  I'm sure there are plenty of other examples out there. There are plenty of logical explanations for not having a playoff. This is not one of them IMO

  College football isn't trying, nor does it need to compare itself or try to be any other sport. The NCAA tournament is single elimination and the NBA plays multiple series. Should one change to the other format? Is one better than the other? They both work for what they are.
  
  The bowl system was in place and served its purpose before the NFL even did anything other than have its top two teams compete. The NFL/AFL expanded playoffs gradually for one reason - money. The college bowl system is based mostly on one thing - money. Again, both work the way they are designed.
  
  In every sport, a line is drawn that ends the regular season. In most sports, several mediocre teams are rewarded with a playoff. Sometimes, an underdog goes on a hot streak. Sometimes, the best team doesn't win. In college football, mediocrity is also rewarded - with a bowl game. But whether you think someone else deserved a shot or not, there is no chance that a crappy team is going to get lucky at the right time and be called "the best". And there is something to be said for the fact that the regular season isn't just scrapped and everyone starts over.
  
  All that aside, the fact remains that college football does just fine as it is. The NFL does just fine as it is. There's no reason for either to change because both take home the bank and a major overhaul isn't necessary (and wouldn't necessarily do any "better" for the sport).

  I'm certainly not trotting this pony out as a major reason why, just one of the many, and just to your point that games at the end of the year would be more meaningful. They can't get any more meaningful than they already are imo, the only ones that would take on greater importance would be bubble games.
• jordo212000

  

  so regular season aside, what did the Oklahoma-UCONN game end up deciding? It was meaningful, how?
  
  What about TCU, how do we know for sure that they could not beat Auburn or Oregon? They are certainly pretty deserving IMO. Should we pat them on the back and say "maybe next year a BCS traditional power will not go undefeated... when that happens, you will get your chance."
• ytownfootball

  

  I'm saying regular season games, not conference championships or bowl games. The only meaningful games at the end of reg. season would be those at the ass end of qualifying.
  
  But to your point, nobody would give a shit who finishes 8th then anymore than they do now.

  No one is saying the BCS is the best way to decide a champion in every sport, but not all sports evolved the same way. Because of the fact that college football evolved with bowl games being a fact of life, the BCS is the best compromise between the bowl system and a playoff. We have a playoff right now, its a 2-team playoff. If you want it to be larger then say that, but I guarantee everyone will bitch about how many teams should be in it.

  We actually agree jordo.
  
  I can't fathom how people support the Bowls. Bowls are stupid as hell and have always been. So many questions after the season about who the best team really was.

  Is there not a question of who was the second best team in college basketball last year?
  
  I mean was Butler really the second best team in college basketball?

  Yes, they were. Sorry it doesn't meet up with the world view that such things are decided on paper by the number of high school all-Americans, but they won five games over three weeks against the best competition available.
