re: Why did we get rid of the BCS again?

Find out what

If this was the final poll, BYU is a 4 seed and Boise gets in at 12. That's kind of nuts.

There was nothing wrong with the BCS as a ranking system. The problem was fitting 3-4 great teams into ONE championship game.

That system would be a great way to select and seed the playoffs.

The only two times that the BCS pissed me off, was 03 when they put Oklahoma in the championship, right after they got beat down in their conference championship. The second was 04 Auburn not getting any love. Add the BCS format to a FOUR TEAM playoff and that fixes both those issues for me.

Why did I know that BCS would have LSU ranked higher.

BCS loved the frick out of LSU. Can’t remember them EVER ranking us lower than we thought we deserved… and when a case could be made for other scenarios, we always got the benefit of any doubt.

I think the BCS had some flaws, especially the early portions of it that included things like MOV, but it mostly worked itself out later. If we kept the final iteration of the BCS and had 4 teams instead of 2 I woulnd't have hated that necessarily.

I do kinda hate that formulas and computers are the ultimate decider though. Sure people are going to claim that that eliminates human bias, but a computer can't think. People unfairly (prior to 11 months ago) criticize the committee but they got it exactly right 100% of the time for 9 years. Last year they completley bothced the shite out of it but prior to that they did their job just as good or better than a computer would

More humans = more bias

Because it was fricking retarded.

It worked most years but occasionally would frick up picking the difference between 2/3 in some years

See: 2001 Nebraska
See: 2003 Oklahoma

People would have far fewer grievances now that the field has been expanded plus it would remove the absolute trashfire of a process we had last year where we left an undefeated P5 conference champion out of the CFP (even though yes FSU sucked w/o Jordan Travis and continue to do so)

Wouldn’t the formula contain current seeding or record in its calculations to differentiate who’s playing whom?

1 would believe that would be included.

ESPN brass realized that much money could be raised by having many more games. Variations of "pay play, get a trophy "

12 teams could brag instead of 4.
