12/2/2008 12:46:02 PM Posted: 8 years ago basically I think that the Giants will probably be in and the Titans... however, for (a little bit) of a long shot guess, I'm going to go w/ Steelers vs. Buccaneers. However, I'm pulling for the Dolphins!!!!!!! They are ALREADY 6 wins above last year! Panthers have a shot as well. Same w/ Jets and Colts.

12/3/2008 7:11:42 PM Posted: 8 years ago What about NCAA championship? Or do you not pay attention to college? I really don't pay attention. Although I like the Longhorns. Maybe if there was a intelligent system with a playoff system I would watch. But there isn't so I don't care about it. |

I understand, but I sort of like the controversey that it creates. Then again, it hasn't really affected me yet, being a cornhusker fan and all; the system did give Nebraska a shot at a national title when they really didn't deserve it in '01. But they got stomped so there was no controversey. When Reach fell, I came. |

12/5/2008 7:31:42 PM Posted: 8 years ago I agree with you that it would be long, but I think that is necessary to find the BEST team around. What if the number 9 team is the best? What if it's an untested team like Boise State?

I think a 32 or 16 team playoff system would let far too many teams in and an 8 team playoff, like you say lets to few in. The NCAA should try something like this. 1-10 get in but the last four teams play a "qualifying game," before the tournament begins. 7 v 10 and 8 v 9. Those teams are the ones on the bubble and should be given a chance to compete, like you say. This gives the entire top 10 a chance to compete, and I think that is where the line should be drawn.

12/8/2008 2:25:56 PM Posted: 8 years ago Giants vs. Titans
Giants-24 Titans-17 Alabama Oklahoma Alabama-10 Oklahoma-27 A man comes to a fork in a road. . He ends up going left where he is ran over by a car. Another person comes to the same fork and decides to right. He also gets ran over by a car. A third person comes to the same fork. He decides that walking up a road in the dark is not smart and takes the grassy middle of the fork. He survives. Moral: Don't be an extremist, neither side can be right all the time. Sometimes, you have to make your own path. |

However I still don't think it accounts for everything. Going back to my example, Boise State is #9. They could just as easily be 11th. The current system has VERY CLOSE AND PRECISE measurements and calculations so why wouldn't they deserve it? I'm not saying I have a better bay but I think that if you somehow include the entire top 25 or at least 15 then it would be the best possible. That is why I think 16 is best. Easy number and not too many. Always welcome to disagree though ;) -ManUtdRedSeal46 |

MIZZOU was ranked 20th and got obliterated; the 25th ranked team could not compete with a top 5 team. As for the 16 team playoff, I also think that is a little to much. I again site an OU game, the OSU game. Although not as in such dominant fashion, OU was able to beat OSU by 20 points, the No. 12 team in the country. When Reach fell, I came. |

12/9/2008 2:59:36 PM Posted: 8 years ago Also, get the writer's vote out of the system; they're too "biased." Leave the computer and coaches' poll, nothing else, if the NCAA stays with this system.

12/9/2008 7:06:39 PM Posted: 8 years ago Yes, but you can't tell me the opposite never happens. I don't have time to find out the specifics right now, nor do I have any evidence (sorry) but the opposite can easily happen. Again I go to Boise State. They would be one of your "bubble teams." Say they were 11th. They could be best in the country right now, nobody knows. Is it fair to discount them?

12/10/2008 1:09:54 PM Posted: 8 years ago Your right about the opposite happening but I think that is partially due to the writer's vote. They constantly overrate teams that clearly do not need to be a top ten team and leave out those that do. ex. Notre Dame (usually never deserving of their ranking but not lately) and Michigan State (always over shadowed by OSU and Mich.; MSU, not best example but best off the top of my head.)
