methomps, the "I should have made the 8 or 16 team playoff" pill coming from a 3 or 4 loss team is still a lot easier to swallow than the "I got screwed even though I was undefeated" pill.

A plus one system would work better if you only had the extra game if the two top teams after the bowl game had the same amount of losses. So if you had two undefeated teams at the end of the season, you played the plus one game, if not, you didn't worry about it. If you had two one loss teams, you play the game, etc..
Of course you could just knock the amount of D-1 teams down to 96, and have eight conferences of twelve teams, each conference split into North/South, East/West, etc. Have a ten game reg. season schedule with two out of confernece games mandated by NCAA, five games against your half of the conference, and three games against the other half alternating each year.
Play the conference championship in a preexisting Bowl location, start the playoffs of the eight conference winnners, play each playoff game in an existing bowl location, and then have the championship game alternating around the bowl system.
Sounds logical, but then it becomes the NFL. Those two ooc games are meaningless. The Texas-tOSU games at the beginning of the season lose their flare.
Personally, I am fine with the system. It makes people bitch and moan, but if you want to win the NC, bring on some tough ooc teams, beat 'em all, and you will wind up in the NC game. Lose a game, then you have no reason to whine. It's unique, it keeps people talking, and fans know that one loss can kill you, making EVERY game thrilling, exciting, and makes you worry when you are losing to okie lite at half time.

Disagree- USC would have beat Miami in 2002 by 2 TD's. IMO USC at the end of the season that year was BETTER than any USC team I have watched in the last few years including this years team.
Methomps- What do you think? This years team and the last 3 how would you rank them.

the plus 1 system will work if they make it out to be a Final Four like tournament where the 1 seed plays 4 and 2 plays 3 and then the winners play another bowl game. Its not perfect - I think an 8 team playoff would be ideal with the first round games being played at the higher seeds stadium - but its better than what we have now.

why? because they beat ND? ND at the end of 2002 was a mediocre team. USC proved nothing. They would give both Miami and OSU a good game, but saying they would beat one of them by 2 TDs is just silly.

ND was a mediocre team the ENTIRE 2002 season! They just got lucky and got alot of breaks to get to the 8-0 start. But I will say that ND team had by far the best defense of all the ND teams the last 3-4 years. Carson Palmer had that USC team in an offensive groove.

If I recall correctly, wasn't there a lot of talk of that Miami team being one of the best ever?. USC was hot that year at the end, so yeah that would have been a good game, but I don't think they beat our 2002 tOSU team.

Miami was absolutely unbeatable before Ohio State shut them down. USC was an excellent team that year, but Miami was on another level. I see 04 Auburn beating 04 USC (which would have been unlikely)... long before I see USC beating Miami or Ohio State ,let alone both.
I've always been a big fan of the plus one game. The BCS would work well with that addition. Teams like Utah and other cinderellas have to schedule tough OOC matches before consideration, and even then their schedule pales in comparison.

touche, but I really don't see them winning both of those games. especially not given how we wore down Miami's vaunted OL in one game. I don't think your OL could withstand facing tOSU's DL, especially not after facing Miami's the game before that.
