In past years, I used to look forward to New Years Day and the football games. Now the first game doesn't even start until 5, and the other major bowls are at night, and on different nights until January 8 - who can stay up until midnight?
Also, as usual, too many games. A 6 and 6 team doesn't deserve to play in a bowl. I have too many complaints to mention. I don't know if a play off system would be perfect - some good teams would always be left out of the mix-but it would be an improvement. Barring that, I would go back to the old system. Any ideas for a change/or other ways to express my anger? Thanks for letting me vent!

There has to be a playoff. Just look at Michigan and Wisconsin this year. Michigan was clearly the 2nd best team in the country, but they aren't playing for a national title. Wisconsin, even though they are ranked 5th in the country, can't play in a BCS game because each conferance can only have 2 teams. So they are being penalized for playing in the best conferance in college football. The only way to solve this problem is drop 1 or 2 weeks from the regular season, and have like 8-10 team playoff. Settle it on the field, not by voters.

a playoff system would be disastrous....why the hell should 8-4 penn state not get any post season play? BTW, watch the outback bowl new years day...starts at 11 eastern
the BCS is not perfect, but its prob the best thing for Division 1
if you would rather go back to the old system, where you let the polls determine the national champion, then you're a friggin moron

We need a playoff system badly.
However on Jan 1 the games start at 11am with Penn State vs Tennessee in the Outback Bowl.

Use to be angry about it. Now I just don't watch college football and I won't unitl Division 1 goes to a playoff system. That is the only legitimate way to crown a national champion.

i'm ready for a playoff system. Even Division 2 and 3 have playoffs. Why does Division I have to be different. I hate the BCS, and the people who came up with the idea.

Yes it should be Ohio State vs. Michigan with Wisconsin in the Rose bowl.

I agree with you.
This is a good forum to vent. Far better than going postal at work on Monday, anyway.
No sport is the same as when we were kids. Capitalism has sucked the marrow out of all professional sports. If you can't enjoy the current system, do what I do and ignore it.

I'm with you. They need to set up a playoff system. Also rans like Rice got into a bowl. There's something wrong with a system that would allow that.

well-known vote isn't fairer, however the Electoral college is even much less honest. well-known vote we could you award Electoral college votes in a state with under 0.5 the votes! Having "the main" does no longer propose a majority. bear in mind Perot? 40-9 states presented EC votes with the aid of under majority effects. Why does the U. S. shape require that to declare a presidential candidate the winner that s/he have a majority of the Electoral college votes? If a majority is important ought to a state that awards ALL of its Electoral college votes to a minimum of one candidate gain this in basic terms with the aid of a majority of votes forged? it is going to alter as quickly as we require a majority to win close by and state elections. In 1796, John Adams beat Thomas Jefferson because of the fact states presented their Electoral college votes with the aid of share. In 1800, James Madison observed that if a state presented all its EC votes to whoever had extra votes than everybody else that Jefferson might have gained in 1796. So he coordinated the Virginia and N. Carolina state legislatures to alter on the comparable time. All coordinated with the aid of horseback verbal replace! bear in mind, the 1st locomotive railroad could be the Baltimore & Ohio prevalent in 1810 and the 1st telegraph could be sent with the aid of Samuel Morse in 1844. Adams lived in Massachusetts. wager which became the very next state to undertake the winner-take-all (with the aid of under 0.5) gadget of awarding EC votes. it is suitable: Adams' homestead state of Massachusetts!! there's a gadget referred to as on the spot runoff vote casting that ensures scholars that classification officers are elected with the aid of majority in one election; IRV ensures that occasion applicants are nominated with the aid of majority in one election; IRV ensures that 2 occasion applicants dealing with a selection of of self sufficient applicants will consequence in a majority winner, every time! in case you think of your state already demands a majority, inspect the checklist of 80 governors from 34 states who "gained" with under 0.5 the vote!
