Big Ten Board (Beta)

They absolutely should. However, I doubt that they will. The selection commitee will likely be as corrupt as the BCS pollsters were. You're going to continue to see people voting for their favorites (or in the south, whoever is within close geographic proximity). Not to mention, ESPN is throwing its weight around and will continue to do so. It's like how Georgia has always been ranked in the polls during the preseason the last several years and then goes on to lose 5 or 6 games (I know last year was the exception). These voters vote for teams from their own conference or their own team, deserving or not. Take American Idol for example. Every year, the winner of it is from the south. That doesn't mean that the amount vocal talent is superior in the south (as a matter of fact, if you think Phil Phillips is more talented than Jessica Sanchez, or Lauren Alaina is more talented than Haley Reinhart, you're brain dead).The people of the south will not vote for people outside of the south. They are stuck on their identity of "Southern Pride". The problem is that the south is eccentic about the south and blind toward everything else. Voting is biased. It's like Nick Saban getting to cast a vote. I guarantee his ballot had Alabama as number one and Oklahoma State teetering on being outside the top ten. As long as there is a human element, the system is flawed. And at the end of the day, there is no arguing that a team that isn't the best in its conference or even its division for that matter is the best in the nation. Bad voting led to that disaster and that's why it had the lowest television ratings of all national championship games of the BCS era. I wish that there could be a completely impartial panel to vote. It would be better yet if the human element could be taken out entirely (including coaches voting for their own benefit and networks pushing their product).

Worst games what about Ohio State getting thumped by Florida? Idiot!!

Can't wait until we have 3 undefeated teams one from a smaller conference and 3 1 lose teams. Let the fighting begin. They have solved nothing. The only reason they made this a 12 year deal is to keep it from growing to 8 teams which is where it need to be.

It's not exactly what I wanted but it's better than nothing.

I would say the worst game is when Ohio State used a group of ineligible cheaters to not win vs Arkansas and keep their SEC record perfect. That and the Florida game where they got beat down.

Ha ha, you have to admit that VT game was about as low grade as it gets. The other UC fan did put me in my place, though. The OSU-Florida NC game was the worst NC game in the history of the sport. That guy gets 2 thumbs up for calling me out on that.

Exactly.

Article after article talking about this being a great day for college football - but the same writers will be questioning the Selection Committee within the next 2 years.

Other than Auburn 2004, the list of teams that were somehow wronged by the BCS makes me laugh - Hawaii in 2007; Utah in 2008; Cincinnati, TCU and Boise State in 2009; and TCU in 2010?

College football is at an all-time high in popularity and revenue. Yet, everyone keeps talking about how "broken" it is and how playoffs will fix it. Makes no sense.

It's weird because you say the were ineligible but the NCAA says they were eligible? Gosh, who should we believe?

After all, SEC fans think it is a valid defense to point out that the NCAA could only prove that Cam's daddy was shopping him for money.

Southern inbred conference-bandwagoning hypocrite

I think you can add OSU getting whipped by Florida to your list of worst games. In fact I believe they lost by more points to Florida than UC did. But who are we to think a writer for the Big 10 can be objective?

So your superior athletes and educational offering caused you to lose to the same amount of points as your little brother here in Cincy. Well done. You must be proud. Can't wait to see how you do this postseason......oh darn, you won't be playing. That's right. Who am I going to root against now?

I am pretty sure 1) you have no education, but are rather a redneck hilljack from Youngstown. After all, most Buckeye fans never went to the school, or even know where Columbus is, but they do know one thing- how to cut grass. 2) You likely wear camo shorts with a Suckeye shirt with the sleeves ripped off. 3) You probably have a beard 4) you drink a lot, I mean a LOT, of Natty light.

Now you would be well served to shut your pie hole and tell your wife/sister to go check your trailers front door to make sure its locked. After all, it would be awful if someone broke into your trailer and stole your Brutus Buckeye doll.
