Glad to know you don’t find the NFL a legit title


The NFL has a draft and a salary cap. The ensure that talent is about as evenly distributed as possible.

How far down in the B1G do you need to go before the team you are describing is 3rd in terms of talent in the ACC or Big 12?

That was 1993 Bills/Oilers esque. Far and away the better team out of the Ivys this year. Harvard didn’t belong in the postseason.

Unfortunately for them, Montana St. isn’t Youngstown St.

I’d sure as shite watch your proposed playoff, but we also definitely need to:

The NFL has 9-7 teams win the Super Bowl.


Comparing college to NFL is not apples to apples. Not even remotely. The margin of error In the NFL is razor thin due to the salary cap. A 9-7 team can get hot in the playoffs and win the SB. And a 9-7 team can also be way better than their actual record due to the thinness of the margin of error.

But in college, there are usually 2-4 teams that are five times better than everyone else. The difference between the #1 and #20 ranked team is exponential. No way a #12 or #19 seed is suddenly going to "get hot" in the playoffs and defeat Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama in back to back to back weeks. One upset? Sure. Maybe. But if you know beyond a doubt a team is incapable of running the table, why have a playoff that goes this deep in the first place?

Everyone bickers about tourney size, but I tried to break down how champions were crowned before BCS to my 13 year old and he thought I was messing with him. That’s how silly the bowl era sounds to someone who didn’t live through it

The 12 team playoff is the least retarded college ball format ever. 16-24 would fix a lot of problems and enable the teams that play tough schedules and come together later in season a real shot to showcase themselves nationally.

The only way it is fair is an expanded format. Just look to some of these imbalanced schedules as proof. You shouldn’t get penalized so severely for playing the top teams and losing close games and in all these slim formats that’s what happens. One school had to be perfect against a bunch of bums, another had to be perfect playing 4 ranked teams.
