LSU vs Bama

Danzig · #1 12-06-2011, 06:02 AM

i'm being unreasonable? hey, good for boise they get a lot of attention. all i'm saying is that they want to play in a top bowl, they need to play a top schedule. you can't have your cake and eat it too in this case. you can't play a light schedule and then ask to be taken seriously, to be put in the same category as bama, lsu, oregon, etc.

not sure how suddenly 'the system is rigged'. not long ago we had an undefeated team get passed over for consideration for the title game(auburn).
the population of the country has inexorably shifted south-it makes sense that football would see some results from that.

How?

Ever since they mopped the floor with eventual PAC 10 champ Oregon two years ago in the game LeGarret Blount had his post-game meltdown in ... no one wants any part of playing them in Boise.

Va Tech was nice enough to schedule them in the South last year and they got beat in a track meet.

Georgia was nice enough to schedule them in Atlanta this year .. and the team who held LSU to 12 total yards in the first half got curb stomped by the Boise offense.

Boise's one loss was to a very good TCU team, and they pretty much laid monster-steamrollings on everyone else they stepped to.

And they're headed to... Vegas?

That's pretty messed up.

so other schools manage to schedule some tough opponents, but boise can't? i didn't know that.

regardless of why they don't have that tough a schedule, it will continue to hamper them post-season.

Seems you don't understand how the big schools think.

Who cares about Boise St? They are garbage and they play garbage. If there was a playoff I would rather see teams like Va Tech and Wisconsin in over Boise St.

A nice, fair 8 team playoff would be.... Major conference winners plus 2 at large teams. You want to make it ,10,12 then you have a board/commitee like NCAA. A team like Baylor could drop 50 on any team on any given day. USC is playing great, maybe these type of teams could be voted in.

LSU
Bama
Stanford
Wisconsin
OK ST
Oregon
Va Tech
Clemson

Did you catch the Ok State score?

I won't be watching a second of the national "championship" game, but I do hope it ends in an Alabama victory. Not because I prefer Alabama - I most certainly do not - but because that's the only way we're going to get a split national championship and folks re-examining the bowl system. We're looking at you, B1G and Pac whatever you are now.

OK St is not good. They lost as a 31 point favorite. That alone should make them ineligable for a National Title shot.

exactly the issue. It is all about $$$$$$. Why would a BCS conference school want to schedule a home/away commitment with Boise? There is absolutely no benefit in $$$$$. College football is all about the $ for the big time conference schools.

Look at the bowl games this year. Where does 11-1 Boise State get to play? They get to play 6-6 ASU who fired their coach already. oh yeah and they beat Georgia at Georgia.

Does anybody even care about WVU vs Clemson outside of those schools?

The BCS and these bowl games needs to end. What other sport takes over a month off at the end of the season before they play a championship?

nebrady · #13 12-06-2011, 01:33 PM

It's simple as this, the idiots need a playoff. They have over 35 stupid bowl games now. Boise state tcu and everyone should get a chance to win it all. Wouldn't it be crazy if could have a december madness like the march one. Instead we got this bcs crap. By the way isn't it crazy that bama who loss at home to lsu, gets to play again and if beats lsu is national champ even though they basically would split! Comon man the system is stupid period!

Home and home? Most schools won't even consider playing them only at home. The sport is a sham until things are decided on the field.

Did you forget to read the first post on this page?? You even replied to it. They've played people. Are you unable to comprehend that they have played in the Big West, then the WAC, and finally the Mountain West this year...since they wend D1 they have upgraded their conference continually...they simply got a bad break when Utah and BYU bolted, now they change again in 2013? When you are in a conference you play the conference. Why is it so hard to fathom that anyone in the SEC plays a tough schedule even if they only schedule patsies outside....again if you expect Boise to schedule two SEC teams, two Pac 12 teams and a big 12 team all on the road out of conference, you are not comprehending reality. You want them to play 9 road games and 4 home games every year. Which to play the schedule you want them to would be required.

i don't care who they play in the slightest. my only point i've tried to make is you can't get rewarded if you don't play a tough schedule. if they can't, they can't. fine. but they can't then turn around and demand a big bowl.

people, please!

if you got rid of the bowl system and installed a playoff, we'd all miss 6-7 ucla play against an illinois team that's lost 6 games in a row going into the fired coaches bowl.

let's not get ahead of ourselves.

a Playoff system wouldnt mean the elimination of the bowl system
