Several times, but once is enough.
So you just don't like playoff systems at all as a way of determining a champion.I don't see how anyone could, unless you don't believe that the purpose of the playoffs (and season) is to give the le to the best team.
Strange, imo.
no, only for football, and only playoffs that let too many teams in. basketball, hockey, and baseball all play series, you can't really lose a series on a fluke play or bad call.
look at the NFL right now, GB is undefeated, is clearly the best in the NFC, and has already beaten the Giants and the Saints and Atlanta. yet, in the playoffs there's a good chance that they will have to beat two of those teams again just to GET to the SB, WHY IS THAT OK?!?!?!?
WHAT IS THE ING POINT OF THE REGULAR SEASON?!?!?
teams should not be forced to replay teams that they have already beaten, and that have 3 or 4 or 5 more losses
NFL needs to go back to 3 divisions per conf. and only the 3 division champs get to the playoffs, with the best team getting a buy. and in the case of a tie at the top of a division in which they split the season series, then you have a play-in game. which is the only thing I'd change about the BCS too, in the case of 3 undefeated teams, you just have a play-in game, 2 and 3 play for the right to play 1
as has been said already, the problem with the BCS is the voters, mostly the coaches poll
As long as there's TV money, they're going to add more and more teams to the playoffs to try to get the dollars. They do the same thing in college football, which is why teams with losing records are going to bowls this year.
Are you ing re ed? A regular season is incredibly important.look at the NFL right now, GB is undefeated, is clearly the best in the NFC, and has already beaten the Giants and the Saints and Atlanta. yet, in the playoffs there's a good chance that they will have to beat two of those teams again just to GET to the SB, WHY IS THAT OK?!?!?!?

Regular season is how you determine whether a team qualifies to be championship material.
The playoffs is how you determine the best of the best.
If a team truly is the best team, they should have no problem beating what you consider an obviously inferior team, a second time in a playoff situation. Fact is, there are times when they dont end up beating them again, proving that they arent always unquestionably superior, which is the point of the playoffs, as opposed to just giving out a championship trophy to a team with the winningest record. It gives the best teams a chance to play each other, to settle it once and for all, because at times teams end up with great records by playing opponents all season (ex. Boise State annually), and other teams that are clearly superior, have a mediocre record due to injuries throughout the season (ex. GB Packers last year). Having playoffs force you to play the best of the best, and prove your case that you deserve to be crowned champions, as opposed to being given a championship by default.
I agree that the biggest problem with the BCS is the voters, but it still is an unfair system that far too frequently screws superior teams out of opportunities to prove themselves on a larger state.
LMAO @ you defending a dumbass system that lets Virginia Tech play a BCS game, but not teams like Arkansas.
right, because 9-7 or even 8-8 is "championship material"
15-5 > 18-1 the system works!
5 game losing streak? No Big Deal, this is the NFL, you might still be the "best team"
edit, and what does Va Tech in a BCS Bowl have to do with crowning the best team? what, you'd rather there be a playoffs so that Va tech could get lucky and actually win the championship? that would be better?

Scenario, for your stupid ass:right, because 9-7 or even 8-8 is "championship material"

2 teams
One team plays a lot of ty opponents, has no major injuries and goes an unexpected 15-1.
Another team has a very tough schedule, loses multiple players for a large stretch through the season, and ends up going 10-6, however has all players healthy by the end of the season.
You are telling me that the 15-1 team without question deserves to just be GIVEN a spot in the Superbowl, despite not really being tested, as opposed to seeing whether the team that has been through a storm of adversity, yet still came through with a solid record, is deserving of a shot?
Okay, dumbass.
No, it's a testament as to how ing re ed the BCS and Bowl game system is, that the BCS bowls are supposed to be for the best teams to play in, and they consistently put teams that have no business playing in them, in there, such as VT this year, or UConn last year. And its also a testament as to what a ing moron you are to actually defend such a dumbass system.edit, and what does Va Tech in a BCS Bowl have to do with crowning the best team? what, you'd rather there be a playoffs so that Va tech could get lucky and actually win the championship? that would be better?
Health is part of the game, you fill your team with injury risks, you're gonna have injury problems, if Manning came back for the Playoffs, the Colts could easily win the SB, so what? and the SoS argument it stupid too, it's the NFL, the easiest schedules are like .450 and the toughest schedules are like .550, 15-1 is never going to be from luck
the 2 team per conference limit has nothing to do with the formula, that can be changed easily, and probably will be. but for now, you want to go to a BCS Bowl? try being better than 3rd in your own conference, or in BSU's case (because BSU is also more deserving than either VT or Michigan) try not choking in the only tough game you played since September
but who cares what these bowls do with their at-large invites anyways, they're basically just exhibition games. is that really the case you're making against the BSC system? that sometimes weak teams get into these BCS bowls? oh man, Va Tech got invited to the sugar bowl, it's a tragedy, time to throw away the BCS! but 9-7 Arizona being one play away from winning the SB, that's a system that works, that's what I want to see in college football.

Saw a report that Nick Saban voted OK State 4th just to make sure they didn't leapfrog Alabama. Someone else voted them 5th.
Yeah having coaches vote is re ed
Only some of the coaches. Reportedly Gundy didn't get a vote.
That's hilarious.
mmm......I think it's possible.
you would have a reason to whine if all the teams played each other once on neutral turf.look at the NFL right now, GB is undefeated, is clearly the best in the NFC, and has already beaten the Giants and the Saints and Atlanta. yet, in the playoffs there's a good chance that they will have to beat two of those teams again just to GET to the SB, WHY IS THAT OK?!?!?!?

but even then, I'd still want playoffs.
Except for the fact that there is no way in they could easily win the SB, which seriously makes me question your understanding and knowledge of football, and gives me just that much more reason to think you are a ing dumbass, like I already do.
This was so ing re ed I didn't even bother reading the rest of your ty post.
there's no way in because...
oh because you say so, I get it. stretch speaks, and reality stretches
