The Blue Board

I would rather risk taking a team that won their conference over approx 8 weeks of playing each other, than a team that was voted there by people who rarely watch the games outside their own conference.

LSU got screwed last year. They beat Bama once. And they had to play an extra game in the SECCG. And they had a tougher schedule, playing both WVU and Oregon in the OOC. Both LSU and Bama end up with one loss, to each other, but Bama gets the crystal football.

Of course you have to draw the line somewhere, but it is your attitude that everyone who does not agree with you is a retard that is the problem. No system is perfect, including yours. There are pros and cons to each one. And just because some people like their slightly flawed ideas better than your slightly flawed idea does not make them retards.

No, it's not. It depends on who #2 and #3 are and who #5 and #6 are. Again, I give you the example we had from last year: Stanford v. Oregon. This is not some crazy hypothetical, but the exact situation we had last year. For the heck of it, let's just change the names of the teams to Auburn and Alabama and assume that Alabama had beaten Auburn and won the SEC but for some crazy reason Auburn ended up ranked #4 and Alabama ended up ranked #5. That makes sense to you? And you have no problem with that?

Yup- All one has to do is look at the computer rankings with and w/out M.O.V. and they will see what a fix it is.
Most of the PAC & Big Ten teams rankings drop and the SEC, ACC teams tend to improve when the MOV is removed.

Slive and his BCS boys really got over on Delaney & Hansen in this aspect of the BCS.
I thought Delaney was suppose to be a smart guy?
Scott, I guess he hasn't been around very long, but doubtful he would figure it out anyway
since he comes from a tennis background.

Lol come on dude it's all it fun. Nothing will be perfect but i just don't see how after what happened in the title game anyone can still argue they want conference champions only. If the regular season is super important then the rest of bamas games that year wouldn't have mattered and ok st games wouldn't of had the increased interest at the end of the year if we had already ruled bama out a month earlier. it was easy to tell bama was at worst a top three team at the end of the regular season last year. Why shouldn't they be rewarded for that?

No I don't think so. Houston Was one win away Boise st would have been there during their WAC years

Well if we do last year and say Houston won and was #5. You would have Lsu Oregon and ok st in there but #2 bama gets left out cause of cusa champ. Lets be real

Nobody outside of the South trust the rankings.

So if they were not as good as the other teams then they would lose the first round and 2 of the other 3 would play in a NC game. That is much better than if that team was really good but we never got to find out because of biased polls. At least it was determined on the field and not by a vote from people who rarely watch games outside their own conference. After all, the voters can be wrong...remember Mich, OSU? Remember, the B10 was the best conference?

FWIW, I just went back and looked ... in 2009, Brian Kelly's Cincy team was ranked #3 and TCU was ranked #4. That means both would have gone to the playoff under your system or my system. But I did find something interesting. Back in 2008, Alabama was ranked #4 and Utah was ranked #6. Utah was undefeated and won its conference. Alabama did not. Under your system, Alabama would have been invited to the playoff and Utah would have been left out. Interestingly, Utah smoked Alabama that year in the Sugar Bowl. So much for the rankings.

What does this have to do with Delany?

Houston had one loss last year and ended up 19th in the final BCS standings (they were 8th before that loss).

So who all was ahead of them? We know vt lost. 8th is pretty damn close
