http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7651554 The President of the NCAA has actively opposed a Playoff system for over 20 years.... but after the debockle of the 2007 season... He's finally going to actively support it, with the 8 Major Conferences.... ....I beat that will push Notre Dame into finally joining a conference for sure, once they aren't allowed to compete for the National Championship anymore otherwise... |

I dont see why not. You dont HAVE to be in the conferences, and to keep out the most known about football program because of this would only hurt hte ratings, which is what this is all about. If the LSU-OSU game would not have been 14% lower than last year, a playoff would not be talked about. I think the conferences should have NOTHING to do with it. You take the top 8 BCS ranked teams and have a playoff. Period. This would fix the special consideration of being in a conference, or being Notre Dame. I think the beginning is good, but being in a conference should not matter. If this occured 2 years ago, a 7-4 Florida State would have made it, taking out one of the other big dogs. Speaking of Screwed. When was the last time Michigan outright won the Big 10? And when do you expect them to win it again? No need for a conference for ND, they just need to win the games they schedule, they are ALWAYS amongst the toughest schedules in the nation, and that alone will get them a spot, just like any other team. ND will be chosen over any other equal team due to ratings.

well, by ratings, thats what i meant thoughout the post. but, again, i forgot, you are one of the ones that like to show bias to one team because they are in a conference, and nobody else. |
