There are def. other threads left up there that have less to do with sports than this.

OT would have sufficed.

Why was it stupid? I heard there was only one player in the entire league and I was surprised. Wanted to see if it was true.

I asked how many of a certain ethnoreligious group were in the NBA. It was a very legit question.

I'm sure I can't post it again.....

But I am interested to know why it was deleted.

Please stop bringing up the 90s to defend mediocre seasons

Quit accepting the illiterate cow bowl/cotton bowl/etc. just because they are bowls we would have loved to go to ~20 years ago. I am not old enough to fully remember the "bad" years with Curly and Dinardo, but it has absolutely nothing at all to do with what happens now.

Just because we had bad years, and loved the fact that we even got to play in a bowl, does not mean we have to settle for mediocrity now. And no, this younger generation is not made up of bandwagon fans that hopped o after the 2003 season.

If you can't acknowledge the fact that LSU has won TWO championships in the past few years and is now an elite program (yes, we are an elite college football program), then go cheer for a school that settles for a ho-hum bowl every year. Anything less than SEC championships is a let down season.

By "problem".....you mean the fact that it's a multi billion dollar enterprise that is as popular today as it's ever been. The problem that fuels advertisers to spend millions to sponser talk radio, because they know they will get the sheep to complain about it all day, every day, yet still spend shitloads supporting their team. That problem?

Problem: teams bitching about being left out. Pay attention when you read posts; it won't make you look like an idiot trying to prove some point that nobody is arguing.

Seriously? Can I hear your football playoff plan that will not be left up to the humans?

I'm not sure, but how much human influence does calculating strength of schedule have? This is not calling anyone out, just trying to see how things would work out.

Simple way: conference winners go to the playoffs. NBA does it, NFL does it, etc. They have no need for human polling, and no room for bitching because you got left out. I understand that leads to the problem with non-BCS-conference schools:

1) 8 team playoff, with BCS and non-BCS schools
6 BCS conference winners get in automatically; use strength of schedule for 1-6 rankings (if SOS has human influence, it doesnt matter at this point with these 6 teams, because they didn't get left out).

Here is the tricky part, and I would need to think about this a bit more. You could take the next two teams with the best record; if there are 2+ teams with the same record, use SOS to pick the top 2. This might have some human influence, but like I said, I don't know how much SOS is influenced by humans.

2) Ideally, force independents to join a BCS conference, and if necessary, make an additional 2 conferences. Then you can just say boom, eight conferences winners, eight team playoff.

Not really sure what I did......I was just making a simple statement. If there's some witty joke or pun in there, it was not intended.

playoff systems dont build new academic centers, practice facilities, or upgrade stadiums...

What builds new academic centers, practice facilities, etc. that would be left out in a playoff system?

quote:
they've have the same logic as teams 3, 4, 5, etc in the current system

How so? This would make it like NBA, NFL, etc. They don't bitch when they miss the playoffs; they just recognize that "we didn't play well enough to make the playoffs."

I think he was being sarcastic, teams even bitch when they get left out of march madness.

I'm not being sarcastic. Teams have a right to bitch about march madness because there's no clear cut guidelines; it's left up to humans to pick the teams.
