Question: In its current form, should the NCAA Football Championship be between the two best teams, the two best teams at the end of the year, or the two most deserving teams?

Currently its more towards the two best teams at the end of the year (losing late hurts you a lot more than losing early) but what do you feel like it should be?

two most deserving teams.

11/10/2008 6:12:38 PM

and if you say the two most deserving, does the potential impact on the quality of the Championship game matter to you?


say a 12-0 Utah team gets stomped by a 11-1 Florida team while Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, etc. stay at home

oh lol, if you leave it up to me, no non-bcs team is "deserving".

11/10/2008 6:15:45 PM

12-0 Utah team will deserve a place in BCS championship if Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma or any other team are undeserving that year

add OSU to that list

by "deserving" I am talking about 12-0 vs. 11-1

^^^Boise State says you're gay.

^^ well then i change my answer to "best team".

^ no u.

11/10/2008 6:22:04 PM

I say first step in the right direction is no polls allowed until the same week the BCS starts being released.

11/10/2008 6:24:08 PM

The answer is a combination of best and deserving, also known as, a PLAYOFF

The worst thing about CFB is that a non-BCS school has absolutely no shot at playing for a BCS national championship. Is there any other sport where half the teams are excluded from even thinking about a national championship before the season begins?

"the two best teams, the two best teams at the end of the year"

shouldn't these two be the same since the teams to play for the championship wouldn't be determined until the end of the year. The only difference between the two is how the "best team" is determined.

^I think he was talking national ranking when he used the word "best".

11/10/2008 10:31:36 PM

^^ not necessarily, a team could be the best team all year, lose the last game and therefore not get in the championship game

11/10/2008 10:58:08 PM

It should be the sexiest matchup with the most star power that will get the highest TV ratings and make even the most casual fan's dick rock hard

Alabama is out...most people can't name three people on their team not named John Parker Wilson

Oklahoma is out...they've shit the bed in seemingly every big bowl game since Josh Heupel left

Texas Tech is out...lots of points, but no tradition, still not enough name recognition on a national level

Texas is out...Thier biggest win was a noon game too early in the season; the TTU loss is fresh in everyone's minds


That leaves USC and Florida...the each lost to a far inferior opponent, but we know who they are and they consistently are in the National Title mix every year. We're comfortable with them, intrigued by them, and goddammit we'd love to watch them play each other.

^ by God he's right

11/11/2008 12:30:54 AM

^^ i do love watching both of those teams play.

11/11/2008 12:32:32 AM

I just got a chubby

LOL. I've argued about this for years.

-Pre-season rankings are set based on how "experts" think a team should do (more heavily is how big of a name school they are)

-after those rankings are established, teams move up or down the rankings based on their performance for the week. The later in the season, the less you move up or down.

-the best teams are whoever hasn't lost recently. A one loss team that lost to a no-name unranked school in the first game is obviously better than a one loss team that lost to a top ten team by 1 point


VIOLA! perfect rankings!

it will never be fair until there is a playoff. it is trying to compare apples to oranges half the time and using the team A beat team B who beat team C so A>C. it just doesn't work. There is a reason the NFL has a playoff
