Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

Wait so we need 8 teams? So Clemson would have destroyed a depleted ND team. Bama would have got OSU and really no way that was going to go the same two years in a row. Oklahoma would have likely got crushed by Stanford. And we would have had a rematch of that snoozefest that was the big 10 championship game.

8 teams would gave give us some more bad games. 6 is bad idea since it gives an advantage to teams who are arbitrarily chosen.

All this bowl season has shown is that Stanford may have got the shaft and would have been rewarded had they played a cupcake to start the season.

So what do you prefer..14 playoff teams like Lou Holz suggested the first year they implemented this playoff system :dunno
 
Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

Yeah.... I think 8 teams would have been better.

Clemson vs Notre Dame
Alabama vs Ohio State
Michigan State vs Standford
Oklahoma vs Iowa

This would be by far THE BEST OPTION and certainly better than what we got. Rematch of Clemson vs Notre Dame, would be a great game. Rematch from last year of Alabama vs Ohio State, would be a great game. MSU vs Standford rematch. Then Iowa vs Oklahoma could be interesring.

4 seems perfectly fine. If we go to 6 and the 7th of 8th teams looks REALLY good we will say we need 8. If we get 8 and 9th or 10th team looks REALLY good we will want more. Soon College football players will play more games than pros. Ok sure last year we had two Big 12 teams who felt they were shafted but really all 4 teams that made it looked like they belonged. This year the only team who I feel who can make a argument that they should have been in is Stanford.

The biggest problem is that though they say who you play matters but its no 100% true, if you lose to a power conference team in non conference game and another team beats a lower Div 1 team or even a Div 2 team they get an advantage.

I think the first thing needs to be done is disqualify ANY team who plays a non Div 1 team. Get rid of these games which are for the most part are byes. Teams should be forced to play at least one power conference non conference game if not two. Second they need to make all conferences play the exact same amount of conference games and it should be that 9. Last they need to make Big 12 get back to 12 teams and play a conference championship game. Ok being able to sit at home and not have to play was a big advantage for them.

ND would have been blown out just like today.
Bama OSU could have been a good game but just as likley the same result as Bama MSU game.
After seeing what Stanford did to Iowa and what MSU barely did against Iowa that would have been same game as today but just a different Big 10 uniform.
Ok vs Iowa, not sure could have been a decent game maybe but after seeing Iowas last 2 games I would say Ok wins easy.

So we added all these games to get a second round of
Clemson vs Ok didnt we already see how that ended?
Bama vs Stanford.

So really we added 4 games to change one team.

I guess you forgot Clemson only won by two against Notre Dame in one of the best games of the year. Using your logic, Ohio State would get blown out by Alabama since MSU beat them and lost to Alabama. So, using your logic, how can you say Ohio State vs Alabama would be good? When you clearly say these other games would be bad? Those comparisons are just dumb.

Oklahoma played bad against Clemson and Iowa played bad against Stanford TODAY. Doesn't mean they aren't good.

Could have been ND vs Iowa and MSU vs OSU or Stanford vs Bama. None of those games you can say definitively x team will win. Better story and better games than what we got from a four playoff system.

How many more players has ND lost to injury since that game? The team they beat is long gone.

I didnt say would, I said could, two different words with completely different meanings. I also said it would be just as likely the same result as the MSU game.

Iowa looked horrible in every game against upper level completion.

If we want a better story why not 16 or 32 or hell 64 wait make that 68? More teams doesnt make a better story it makes watered down playoff.

Is the whole state of Iowa really that butt hurt over Stanford's band?
 
Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

That TCU game was insane. I'm super jealous of your team.

Might have been the best game. Glad I watched it. 31 point comeback with a QB who never started a game, incredible.
 
Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

I know it's basketball but did anyone watch that OU/KU 3OT barn burner game Monday night? So much fun to watch.
 
Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

Dabo is willing to take the chances that Saban won't.

That will be the difference for one side or the other.

Rooting for Clemson. Picking Bama.

Hoping for a good game.

ESPN Classic has the game with no announcers just "sounds of the game". Of course it's not in HD.:mad:
 
Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!

Re: 2014 College Football General Discussion PLAYOFFS are here!!!
