The name BCS is dead. Stop calling them BCS games.

"The BCS relied on a combination of polls and computer selection methods to determine relative team rankings, and to narrow the field to two teams to play in the BCS National Championship Game"

"Unlike college football's title system used from 1998 to 2013, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the new format does not use computer rankings or polls to select the participants. Rather, a committee of 13 experts selects and seed the teams"

I actually preferred the BCS system to this "playoff" which is technically exclusive and only permits P5 conferences. The BCS allowed good non-BCS teams to get in a bowl and possibly participate in a national championship if they were ranked high enough and the strength of schedule was deemed sufficient.

BCS is dead. Your lack of knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

One of the big bowls in the new system has a reserved spot for a G5 team numb nuts. That actually gives us MORE access than before. And no non BCS team was EVER going to get into a national championship game. Doesn't matter

Did you read anything I wrote? I guess you did not, dumbarse. I never said BCS was still going on, I said I preferred the system, in which in the "At Large" spots you could have a couple of ranked non BCS team in there, which was the case in 2009 with TCU and Boise playing the Fiesta bowl. And by the way TCU was #3 in that system in 2010 and may have had a shot at the natty had one of the teams who got there lost another game...

And I did mention that in my previous post you idiot. READ BEFORE YOU WRITE YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS ARSEHOLE!

Lord, the Ice House was such a complete sh*thole. Used to have this creepy guy working the door who tried to use magic and free beer to get people to come in to the bar.

Take that back, that was the real ice house. 5 $$ pitchers before barley..and the service was great b/c you were the only ones there

Bennett was right about one thing: SMU has not learned how to handle success. IF we play Baylor HARD like we play TCU every year, we will beat them this year. They will be cocky and arrogant because of their new stadium and their newfound fame after being bottom feeders since the beginning of time. But let us not forget, SMU has dominated TCU and Baylor throughout history, and in my mind inferior to SMU. We are in a better city, our university is better and our girls are hotter. Look at the bright spots SMU has going for it: the AAC is an upgrade from CUSA in both basketball and football and the conference should be clear favorite to earn the BCS bowl (considering the collapse of MWC, the nearest competitor). Our TV coverage is the best we have had in our history (as good as any P5 contract, except money ain't there). Basketball is proving that we can attract casual Dallas fans which want a college football team in Dallas to cheer for. Our recruiting has improved significantly and I hope it gets better. Man, I can't wait for us to get back to the top...only this time around I am sure we will come with 60K fans wanting to see us play a game.

Preach on man! Its about time someone started speaking some sense on here!

Malonish, "BCS Bowl" is used colloquially to refer to the "LARGE BOWL GAMES" or "New Years Bowls" which are now the Cotton, Peach, Rose, Orange, Sugar and Fiesta. The G4+AAC have a guaranteed at large spot (Which by the way does not mean that it will be the only spot for the G4+AAC..). Since the gap in talent, revenues and TV ratings is huge between the G4 and the AAC, it is very likely that our champion will get that spot every year.

Not anymore it's not

Let's agree to disagree. And just for your information, not liking what I say is not considered "flaming" or "trolling". And I would like for you to show more respect towards me as well.

^ you get the respect you earn. Which right now is hovering around zero
