Yea, I think that would help, but you have to make sure that the big boys schedule some of these guys, and also a football team in September is a different team in the middle of conference play are different. So it would be hard to judge that. But somehow you have to let a team like Utah into the national championship, but I really don't know how you can calculate the difference in schedule????

You can say that about any national champion, I mean LSU had 2 LOSSES, and Florida LOST a game, both years they won the championship, so the last three champions had lost a game to get into the championship game, and you are complaining about a close game????

Utah would have never been in the BCS champ game even if they were in a big conference...they would have not survived the grind. They would have 3 losses or more.
The BCS/Football season is 5 months long... March Madness/Bball season is 2.5 weekends.
Even the hard core LSU Bball fans don't pay attention to UCONN vs Pitt during the regular season... but any College Football fan follows all the big games.
When is the last time you went to work and said... how about that Gtown vs ND matchup?

Any Evidence on this statement????????????

I asked Nostradamus(sp?). He said in the parallel Pac10 world, they would lose to USC, Oregan and Arizona State. 
Posted on 3/24/09 at 11:15 pm to ColdDuck
OK but what about the ACC or Big East or Big 10 you don't think they could make it undefeated in those conferences, b/c if you go undefeated in those you are pretty much a lock into the championship, so it doesn't matter what you do in the Pac 10

Dude a team is different in September than they are in the middle of conference play, you ever think thats why all the big guys schedule scrubs at the beginning of the season?
Posted on 3/25/09 at 12:08 am to SlowFlowPro
So they got caught looking ahead to the number 11th rank TCU game FIVE days later, but yea no BCS team ever gets caught looking ahead no WAYYYYY, also what about a 48-24 win over the 14th ranked team!!! But I always forget that rule that you must beat a team by 10000 points to win the game, damn!

Would you say that it was an undisputed fact that George Mason was one of the four best teams in the nation in 2006?
That's a question asking for an opinion. The only way to determine if GMU was 1 of the 4 best teams is settle it on the court which the Patriots did. I prefer to leave opinions to political debates & sports talk shows.
Maybe they would not have advanced that far in a best of 3, 5 or 7 series. Who knows? I would rather give them a real shot to compete in a 1 game scenario than preclude them from having any chance to play & defeat those "power conference" teams like UConn, UNC & Mich. St.
If minor conference teams aren't given a chance to face "power conference/BCS teams", how can anyone claim they aren't among the best, if not the best?

I just don't like how the regular season means nothing. You could lose every game and then win your final 10 games or whatever, and you're the national champs. That bothers me.
Why do you people completely ignore the fact that a team's regular season determines their seeding in a tournament setting, thereby giving them a better shot at winning said playoff/tournament?
If you want to continue to bash all one-and-done playoff systems, fine. But saying that the regular season was pointless is retarded.
