Two years in a row for non-BCS teams in BCS bowls

[Sam I Am]

Now that non-BCS schools have won BCS bowl games two years in a row, let the playoffs begin.

Sorry, you're wrong this time, unfortunately.

Wrong about the part of "two years in a row" or the "let the playoffs begin?"

It was 2 years ago I believe that Alex Smith led the Utes over Pitt in the Fiesta bowl. As for a playoff system, im sure it will happen eventually but not until the BCS gets it completely wrong with their being no undefeated teams one year. Then im sure schools will start involving laywers in future BCS disputes because everyone knows MONEY RULES/MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

The BCS is a sham. It was designed specifically to kill off the little guys - much the same reason the Big 12 was formed.

BTW, the Big 12's bowl record looks a bit like C-USA's....

[mr. pony]

my mistake- Big 12 is 3-5 and cusa is 0-4.

Still, Big 12 champ can't hang with WAC champ??

The Big 12 Champ DID hang with the WAC champ, hence the Overtime game.

I don't think that I'm overstating when I say that was one of the best bowl games I've ever seen. Either team could've won the game, OU fought back after Boise St. seemed to have everything in control, and then Boise St. made a couple of GREAT play calls, and deserved the victory.

How bout the running back Johnson proposing to the head cheerleader after the game? She said yes capping off an amazing night of football.

OU better thank its lucky stars that Johnson had his mind on chasing poontang and not football. Imagine if Johnson had his concentration on playing football instead of chasing skirt after the game. He would have rushed for a couple of hundred yards, OU would have been blown out and a real BSC non BSC controversy would ensue.

Oh, and before folks go apoplectic, this is dripping with sarcasm.

It's good to see "poontang" on a post. We need to use it more.

You got it

In the ABC boardroom, it was called the Big Cash System

Would the BSC schools be able to fulfill their commitment to the bowl system if all the non-BCS schools stopped playing them? How many BCS coaching positions would need to be filled every year?

Here's my thing...

I don't see why both parties can't be satisfied at the same time. There could still be the normal "BCS" games, but played tournament-style. Take all the teams that would have made the BCS games (say AP/Coaches Poll one through eight), and form a bracket. At the same time, other non-BCS bowls would continue as normal. Wouldn't ad rates hypothetically stay the same? And, the national championship could be decided on the field.

I can see, however, other teams complaining that they weren't invited to the dance. But, college football is a huge audience draw. I don't see ratings declining in this situation. I could be wrong though. Is there some other financial thing at play here?

However, I think the big thing about having a Playoff in D-IA is the $$$ situation.

I bet officials and committee members have brought the idea up of having a playoff but taking away that "guarenteed BCS $$$.

I say if there is a playoff then teams shouldnt get the multi-millions the BCS gives them.

when it comes down to a playoff it ALL COMES DOWN TO $$$
