[QUOTE="john250, post: 721235, member: 4406"] OK, time for my annual rant about the BCS. First we'll argue about who gets invited, because it's all subjective. Then the games will be played. Then there will be a vote to decide who is #1. A tournament gives you a winner on the field and is the reason for the immense popularity of the NCAA Basketball Tourney and the NFL playoffs. Win or go home. When some no sense blowhard says his team is better than yours--you point to the SCORE. While the BCS rakes in the dough, I think they are leaving hundreds of millions on the table. I'm not likely to watch any bowl games. My team is staying home, hopefully getting their act together. If it were basketball, I could see a Boise St. play their way through and I might get attached to them. The prospect that the underdog might win is a driving force for TV viewers. With the BCS, the only people who are going to watch Boise St are the alumni. No offense to Boise St, but it's a small audience. Heck, even Texas or Alabama alumni is a small audience (although advertisers like the demographic). Get a playoff. [/QUOTE]
