I hope Miami wins, but I kinda lost interest in college football this year.

I knew I should have bet on OSU to cover the spread

I've decided I hate college football. I used to love it but finally came to the realization that if an unranked team (as stupid as the ranking system is) can go to a bowl game then whats the point?

how is that worse than when NFL teams that are only .500 go to the playoffs??

oh yeah...........go Big Ten.

gschroeder78

The difference I see is that the NFL works it's way to a single championship game. By then if you've made it that far, .500 or not, you probably deserve it. Also if a team has .500 and did make it to the playoffs, odds are most of the other teams have a worse record (not always but most of the time).

In college they play 12 or so games (not sure), suck so much they aren't even the top 25 and still get in to a bowl game (i.e. Nebraska, AFA, ect...). There's no working out who the best teams is other than the ranking system. Which no one can say really makes sense. It's all about the money and it will never change. So I'm sure I'll get over it by next season.

That and I'm bitter because all 3 of my teams lost (CU, CSU & AFA).

There are only 4 bowl games that really matter, those bowl games with unranked teams are more like exibitions then anything else imho.

at least the BCS considers an entire season, where when you get to the playoffs in the NFL, everything up to that point is basically irrelevant.

gschroeder78

Yeah I guess they just make the BCS rankings way too complicated. Oh well I think it's all about where the money is NFL or NCAA.

It could be worse. In MLS (Major League Soccer...No flames please... I play soccer ), Out of the 10 teams, 8 went to the playoffs. Now thats pathetic.

BCS sucks. it takes into consideration the media and coaches polls, which is pure opinion, how is it supposed to "calclutlate" the best team, when one of the most wieghted categories is pure opinion. if ohio state wasnt ohio state, they probably owuld have been #2

I won a 100 bucks off that game. God that was an awesome game though. I thought we had lost it twice. Personally I am a UGA fan and we would have killed both thouse teams last night, but for some reason we lsot to Flordia earlier this year. But hey 3rd in the nation ain't bad.

I hate Miami, but for a private college with like 17,000 people, they are awesome.

HippoSleek

It was indeed an awesome game. Even though I had no stake, I was rooting for OSU. What was the Big 10's record in bowls this year? ACC was 4-2. I think we were close.

As for BCS - what's better? Under the old system, you had as many as three #1's at the end of the year. And while the subjective criteria matters, it is needed to offset the differences in schedules (there is no pairity as found in professional sports). Unranked teams in bowls is fine w/ me. The payouts (and viewers) vary. Nothing wrong w/ acknowledging a good team that lost two games all year. I think this year actually showed how well BCS worked. NO ONE thought that OSU had a chance (or even that they should have been ranked above other teams, incl. Iowa). But the system worked.

...and UGA got lucky - USC was awfully close (>10 votes) in both polls.

Mark - who regrets not placing two bets for the over in the Orange and Fiesta bowls.
