more proof of bias/coaches that have no idea whats going on.enigmaax;1003298 wrote:So did Gary Pinkel (drunk) and a few others. Troy Calhoun had Arkansas ahead of OSU.
Pinkel leaving the Big 12 for the SEC..hmmm
A coach putting a team that has two losses by a combined 48 points over OSU..hmm. Even CGW will admit that Arkansas isnt a top 5 team. -

Les Miles had michigan 8th, Georgia 10th, K-State 17th, Va Tech 12th and Clemson 13th. I guess Les didn't bother to see Clemson destroyed Va Tech twice. smh at these coaches and this system. -

Are LSU and Alabama probably and/or possibly the 2 best teams in the land this season? I'll say possibly.
This is yet more proof that the BCS "system" is rigged by the Money Men and designed; not to extract a true national champion, but to make the Money Men richer at the expense of the losers in the system...The Players.
A playoff system is desperately needed.
I will watch Ohio choke in the Spud Bowl, Ohio State find a way to get beat by Florida again, and most of the BIG bowls. But I will not watch the NC game. -

Les Miles is also nuts. He's probably the one coach in major NCAA and pro sports that could go undefeated, get fired and the fanbase would understand it.Skyhook79;1003320 wrote:Les Miles had michigan 8th, Georgia 10th, K-State 17th, Va Tech 12th and Clemson 13th.

For the love of God...the BCS was never meant to extract a "true national champion." That wasn't the point of its creation. The point was...people kept bitching about AP Titles, and how that wasn't fair. So the conferences agreed to the BCS to give the masses a so-called "national championship" game and also pad their own pockets while doing it.believer;1003812 wrote: This is yet more proof that the BCS "system" is rigged by the Money Men and designed; not to extract a true national champion, but to make the Money Men richer at the expense of the losers in the system...The Players.

All the BCS is, is another poll (or in this case, system of polls) that takes the top two teams from it's formula and has them play. -

Only ND fans make this argument to make them feel better about never winning anything relevant.

The point of football at the highest collegiate level has never been to win it all. If it was, the NCAA would have recognized a National Champion. They have never done that. The point has always been to win your conference and represent them in a Bowl game played in the south/out west in order to expose your team to parts of the country that normally wouldn't get to see you play and to pit your conference against another conference that you wouldn't normally get to play throughout the season. Bowl games have always just been exhibition type games to reward a team for winning their conference.sleeper;1004135 wrote:Only a Notre Dame fan cares about the point of the BCS.

I wouldn't expect you to understand that, though. -

http://fiestabowlhistory.org/The first Tournament of Roses football game, which was the first of its kind in the nation, was staged at Tournament Park on January 1, 1902. The game matched a West Coast Stanford team and a Midwestern team, Michigan, both of whom were later to become members of today’s Pac-12 and Big Ten conferences. Michigan routed Stanford 49-0, prompting the football contest to be replaced with Roman-style chariot races, inspired by the literary classic Ben Hur, until 1916 when football was permanently reinstated.
http://www.orangebowl.org/orange_bowl/1930s.aspxBack in the late 1960s, the Western Athletic Conference were having problems obtaining a decent bowl invitation for their champions. The 1968 and 1969 champs Wyoming and Arizona State did not get invites those years. A year later, Arizona State (undefeated for 2 years) still had no invites and had to settle for a relatively more minor invite from the Peach Bowl.
http://www.allstatesugarbowl.org/site34.phpA match-up of undefeated Tennessee and Oklahoma propelled the Orange Bowl into the "major bowl" arena in 1939. It took some marketing and public relations moves by the OBC's Earnie Seiler to bring the Sooners to South Florida. Seiler went to Norman and covered the campus with posters of palm trees, beaches and Miami's young women. After a stirring pep talk to the OU squad, the Sooners voted to accept the Orange Bowl offer over more lucrative ones from the Cotton, Rose and Sugar Bowls
[/LEFT]Behind the Sugar Bowl is a story of community spirit and initiative that has been instrumental in spreading the name and fame of New Orleans worldwide.[LEFT]The New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Association actually became a reality when, in late October 1934, it was able to announce it had in escrow the sum of $30,000 for the promotion of the inaugural Sugar Bowl Football Classic.
The idea of a New Year's Day football classic in New Orleans was first presented in 1927 by Colonel James M. Thomson, publisher of the New Orleans Item, and Sports Editor Fred Digby.
Every fall thereafter Fred Digby called for action, outlined a mid-winter calendar of sports, and even gave the still dream game its name - "Sugar Bowl." The idea also began to catch on in the community, with civic and political leaders beginning to discuss the potential. In fact, in 1929, Mayor A.J. O'Keefe sent a delegation to the Southern Conference asking approval of a proposed New Orleans game. -

And as far as the NCAA not recognizing a National Champion...
[url]http://www.ncaa.com/history/football/fbs
[/URL]As you can see, on that page it lists the "selecting organization" next to each "champion."
Compare that to FCS,
http://www.ncaa.com/history/football/fcs
And you can see that there is no selecting organization.
So since 1869, the NCAA has not recognized a champion at the highest level of collegiate football. -

LOL what?! How does any of that say that the point of a bowl game is to play a game in the south or out west to showcase your school to recruits you otherwise would not have reached?
