Now the question is...who wants to see a re-match? I certainly dont. All we need is a re-match with Michigan winning. Then what? Best 2 out of 3? This BSC thing needs to go away. We need a play-off.
Michigan had their chance, give somebody else a shot. I dont care who, be it USC, Florida, Arkansas or Notre Dame.

I agree with ya that the BCS has got to go. I think a playoff system would be best. With the BCS there are to many teams that should have a shot at it.
I agree with getting rid of the BCS system and going to a championship playoff system.
Take the conference winners and pair them up like the NCAA basketball championship with top seeds getting a bye (if required to fill out a 16 team roster.) Use the present bowl games as neutral sites for the different rounds of a play off. Of course you would have to start the playoffs in early December in order to finish out with the championship game on January 1.
After watch USC and ND this evening, I'd like to see how Pete Carrol matching wits with Jim Tressel.
Go Buckeyes!!!!

Sounds like a plan. Take the conference champs and the top rated non-conference teams and put them in a play-off. You could even rotate the semis and the final between the major bowls just like they do now.
BCS or not, Ive never liked the break between the end of the regular season and the bowl games. OSU will have something like 45 days between games. That has to affect performance. I think you see different teams in the bowls then you do in the regular season. Not to mention, if you get a team whos on a roll, they loose all the momentum with the break.
I think they should keep playing right till the end.

being a buckeye fan, I think michigan really got screwed out of going to the national championship game just b/c some coaches didn't want to see a rematch, if it would be any other conference they probably would've went. oh well, the buckeyes are gonna hammer florida, and michigan is gonna hammer USC, so I guess it doesn't really matter that much since they both will win there game
An NCAA football playoff is way over due. I propose the following.
Maintain the current ranking system throughout the year, but come December, the top 16 teams enter a playoff format.
Week one- 8 games
Week two- 4 games
Week three- 2 games
New Years Day- Championship Game.
It's time the Boise States of the NCAA get their shot.
Now comes the money issue (Because it's all about the Benjamins)
Every corporation who wants their name on the Championship game enters a sealed bid. When all bids are opened, the top bid gets the game. Each lower bid gets a game deeper into the playoffs.
Advertising dollars will roll in for every game, 10x what the revenues are today. This money is divided equally amoung all the schools in the playoffs.
Why do I think the advertising will be premium? Simple. OFFICE POOLS.
Every Super Bowl and March Madness get huge ratings because of the pools. The majority of viewers could care less who's playing as long as they have a chance at the pool, they watch. Advertisers know it and drop major cash to be seen during these games. An NCAA football tournament would attract a whole new base.
This marks the fifth time in the last seven seasons that the No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup has been marred by controversy over a deserving team getting left out.
Two years ago, Auburn goes undefeated as SEC champ and gets shutout of the national championship game.
Three years ago, Southern California finishes No. 1 in the coaches' poll and the media poll (both BCS components back then) and doesn't even make it into the national championship game. The BCS was so messed up that year, the Trojans finished No. 1 in the final coaches poll but the coaches gave their national championship trophy to LSU because of a BCS pledge.
Five years ago, Nebraska didn't win its conference and got to play Miami for the national championship. Worse yet, the Cornhuskers didn't even win their division in the Big 12 or even play in the conference championship game.
