In college football after this season do you think that we should get rid of the BCS and go with a tournament?

Question

To decide who goes to the the National Championship Game.

Answer 1

YES!
get rid of popularity polls and the whacked BCS
Go to a fact based system that puts the BEST ( not most popular) teams in a playoff let the best team win

Answer 2

It will NEVER happen.

Add up all of the money from the New Year's day bowl games and tell me you could ever reproduce that with a playoff system spread out over several weeks.

There is just too much money in it to change to a playoff system.

The best you could ever hope for would be a +1 where the top two teams after the four BCS bowls are completed would play for a national championship.

Answer 3

Yes we should but it wont happen because of contracts. LSU fans are probably wishing the season was ten games and then playoffs becuse they are a good team and could win the title in a playoff system but have NO CHANCE with the BCS system. Oklahoma fans have the same argument, and the list goes on with the what might have beens. What is surprising is that some of these very good BCS teams wont get the chance at the title and if their fanbases all got together demanding it, that could make for a pretty good argument at getting out of the BCS contract for us all. But they dont, they would rather settle for no title than to fight the system.

Answer 4

Sixteen teams, with a BCS-like rating system that brings all those variables into the seedings. All conferences and independents are ranked. The first round is played on campus sites, with the other games in "Bowl" cities.

Several years back, the company that has world TV rights to the World Cup proposed a playoff and TV plan to the NCAA & it was rejected with little discussion. These games would mean a ton each weekend and there would still be room for the other bowl games that are TV-filler and recruiting tools for coaches.

Answer 5

How many games you plan on watching???? The season would be way too short, or you would draw out the season. There is a reason college basketball has March Madness - too many teams! It would be a statistician's nightmare to figure out who is going into the playoffs, and what the criteria is. I mean, how many teams are ranked out of the top 10 with only 1 loss? You gonna exclude them due to their schedule toughness? And the fairness for the smaller schools would not be there. Until they can come up with a fair system, I say leave things the way they are right now.

Answer 6

Man that would be awesome to get rid of bcs. The playoffs would create much more excitement and produce a deserving champion. Create a 32 team playoff system and it would be over by the same time the major bowl games play anyways. Scrap the bcs, shoot it down, put in the playoffs for god's sake.

Answer 7

thats a hard one..i would like to see a bcs tournament mix if that makes sense...meaning the bcs rankings stay..but then those teams play a tournament at the end of the season rather than a bowl game...bowl games just seem stupid to me..they dont mean anything...how do you know team A is the national champs and team B isnt' if they have never played each other or have never played a team that has played team A or B....

Answer 8

They should have eliminated the BCS when the committee gave Florida State the nod to play Oklahoma in the Championship Game. As we know, both Florida State and Miami (#3 seed at the time), had the same record, yet Miami BEAT FSU that year. And what happened? Oklahoma embarassed FSU, 13-2, and I think Miami could've won that year.

Answer 9

Absolutely. I think that would be way more interesting than the way they do it now. But it would extend the season quite a bit, don't you think?

Answer 10

as fun as tourneys can be i like the bowls too....in a tourney every team excecpt for the champion ends their season with a loss....bowls allow half the teams to end with a win =]
