Switch Boise with TT and you'd have a great 8 team playoff

 

[Seymour]

Unless Florida wins by 40 there is really no way to say who is #1 this year

 

[REDEYE]

If you had a legit 8 team playoff with automatic entries from the 6 BCS conference champions it would leave both TT and Boise out. The at large teams Texas & Bama would be rated this year way ahead of Boise etc.

Fla v. V. Tech
Okla v. Cincy
Texas v. Penn St
USC v. Bama

I would want the 8 teams selected by a committee - no automatic bids - the SEC could get 4 teams in some years - you can't tell me the winner of the BE should be invited to this party - nor some of those Big 10 teams

 

[Seymour]

Cincinnati and V. Tech just simply do not belong.

You have to give a winner of a BCS conference champion a bid, then the non playoff proponent can still argue that the regular season still means something.
You can't win a conference and not get rewarded. The Conference championship has to mean something.If that keeps the 4th team out of another conference out so be it.

 

[Seymour]

To me it makes the every game more important - and it was only like minutes ago that none of these dumb ass conference championship game existed

Iowa is certainly the best 4 loss team....I would put them above most of the 3 loss teams on the list. Iowa vastly underrated. Best RB in nation, top 7 defense. I like the spot they are in though, probably blow out an SEC team in the Outback Bowl. --

I think 5th Jan 1 bowl in past 8 years. (Outback x3, Capital One, Orange Bowl)

I'll add that i'll take them vs all 2 loss teams and 2 one loss teams as well!

If Iowa is so great , how did they lose 4 games in shit League ?

 

[Uno]

penn state should be 8. the big ten is such a fraud.

 

[HAT]

Hehe....Fish & his family crack my sh!t up sometimes.

 

[paftraft]

Funny season no major undefeated teams yet 3 major teams as I recall
lost only 1 game by only 1 pt. Florida, Penn State & USC.

A convincing win in the Outback Bowl could and should secure Iowa a preseason TOP 10 AP ranking next season.

This thread is interesting - apparently Iowa has a football program that I was unaware of

If you thought that, your CFB intelligence would be rated very low.

Iowa has a storied football program dating back to the late 1800's........a program that has produced numerous All-Americans, a Heisman Trophy winner, a national championshop, numerous bowl appearances, many season ending finishes ranked in the top ten, and the loyality and following of the team by their fans that takes a backseat to no team in the nation.

 

[Fishhead]

Penn State could very well end up ranked #2 in the nation...........wouldn't that be something.

Pete Carroll may give PSU a chance and forfeit all of his teams timeouts before kickoff.
