re: When will Bama play a true OOC road game

If my university wins the conference than we deserve a spot

This takes the voters out of it

College football needs to remove the influence of people in determining the national championship

In college basketball it is still there but only in the seedings. There hasn't been many double digit seeds who have won so I doubt that many teams are left out of the tournament who have a chance to even get out of the first weekend let alone win the entire thing

Seedings don't matter if you are the best team. Even if you are from a small conference and go 13-0 like a Western Michigan from this year and get a #8 seed if you are truly the best your team should win

you don't deserve to be in playoffs if your team hasn't played as good a schedule and has more losses than other teams desptie winning the conference.

Yes

Then the one lost team has a chance at an At Large bid

Those three losses could have been because they played a tougher schedule.

taking 8 teams would trivialize the regular season, in my view. I could live with 6 but I would prefer to take the highest ranked teams from each P5 conference plus one at large, not base it only on winning the conference title game.

OSU got in last year because they were ranked higher than PSU.

Penn State had a worse loss than OSU, to Pitt, and lost to Michigan, who OSU beat. they didn't have a strong case over OSU. OSU had a better OOC win, at Okla.

Your not understanding the point

It was proven on the field who was a better team
Everything you say does not matter because Ohio State could not beat Penn State

All this other bullshite was disproven on the football field when they matched up

That would be the best thing for college football if you have underdogs and Cinderellas

I doubt many 4-4 teams will be playing for a conference championship very often

[quote]Why don't you like it? No, they're not an elite program, but Cutcliffe is helluva coach and could give Bama a real game of it. Nowhere near enough talent to last, so it'll likely end up a blow-out, but I can see them giving y'all a nerve-wracking first half, at least.



C'mon man,,,,That game is already over. As the other poster said, they would make a great #2 for that year. I would be willing to accommodate Duke if we could get a reciprocal basketball game from them....a neutral site with them to lead of the season is crap particularly given the rest of the schedule that year.

So you want to keep it a popularity contest

Humans do not always see things how they actually are they perceive things how they wish them to be

Only way to take humans out of it is allowing what happens on the field to determine a champion

Penn St played Michigan and Pitt early
Played Ohio St late
I could say at the end of the year Penn St was the best team from that conference.


If you do not want to award conference champions then we should go back to the old system when
voters went off name recognition alone and sometimes never viewed the team
They voted #1 They just went off of what other people said
