Let The Arguing Begin…..It’s Florida!
Just like I told you a few weeks ago, Florida will play Ohio State for the National Championship. Florida of course, beat out Michigan for the #2 spot. I’m not even going to get into the argument of who actually deserves to be #2. Maybe the NCAA likes the BCS system because it stirs up a lot of conversation about college football? I really don’t get why it hasn’t been fixed yet, especially given the success of other college tournament formats.
I’m going to spare linking you to a bunch of stories about who should have played, or why wasn’t this team included. We all already know this routine. I’ll have a more in-depth preview of every bowl game a little later.
Anyway, here are how the BCS bowl games fell out-Â (what a moronic system)
Tostitos BCS Championship Game- Florida vs. Ohio St. (1-8-07)
Rose Bowl- USC vs. Michigan- (1-1-07)
Fiesta Bowl- Oklahoma vs. Boise State (1-1-07)
Orange Bowl- Louisville vs. Wake Forest (1-2-07)
Sugar Bowl- LSU vs. Notre Dame (1-3-07)
Finally, here is PART of the reason why this system can’t be gotten rid of:Â Ohio State coach Jim Tressel “With a 12-game season, it would be next to impossible to have a 16-team playoff,” he said Sunday. “We’ll continually improve the system. As you look at it over the past few years, it has gotten better and better.”

I like a playoff format that mirrors the NFL.
12 teams would qualify for the NCAA 1-A finals.
The top 4 seeds would have a well deserved first round bye.
This year the byes would have gone to Ohio St, Florida, Michigan, and perhaps USC.
12 is a good number. 8 is too few, and 16 may be too many.
I’m out.
PS : Elimination of Conference Championship games would allow additional weeks to play the playoff rounds. Let your season stand on the merits of your season. Conference championships were added to make money for the conferences.
Also limit the number of games to just 12 per season.
( no more 13 games like Hawaii & Oregon St )
