The problem with both of you is you're both trying to relate the NCAA to the NFL. IT WON'T WORK! You know why? There's too many teams. An NFL system with 120 teams will NEVER work. HOWEVER! There is a solution, which relates to both NCAA and NFL. Create another division. Seperate the different classes of D1. It's quite obvious that Western and Central Michigan University do not belong in the same class as LSU, OU, UO, ect... so if they narrowed to field to like the Big 6 confs, maybe it'll work

@OUfootballAuthority Funny those teams both beat super hyped super conference teams that were sure to wipe the floor. Yes I'm a Wisconsin fan admitting that and they lost to TCU. Besides I seem to recall a certain wild card NFL team winning the super bowl last year that would never have gotten a chance in the BCS.

[OUfootballAuthority]

@FRArognetwork OK bud, whatever. Funny that the same failed system put TCU in the Rose Bowl and Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, yet it's keeping those teams from getting into BCS bowls because it doesn't like them right? And why is it you don't name your favorite team? It wouldn't be because you know they suck would it? By the way, the BCS is nothing more than the 5 bowl games at the end of the year. You wanna be mad, be mad at the ranking system that puts teams in those bowl games.

@OUfootballAuthority one last question cuz its apparent as an oklahoma fan ur gonna keep supporting a failed system that votes teams in every year like american idol but if the rivalry games wouldnt matter then why is a rivalry like the celtics and lakers so red hot or yankees vs red sox.....they have playoffs but their rivalries dont matter sorry sir you lose

[OUfootballAuthority]

@FRArognetwork And as far as dignity, it pertains to teams playing a high ranked opponent. It would no longer matter if your opponent was highly ranked or not. It would only matter your record of wins versus loses. Thus a highly touted rivalry is no longer really a rivalry because wether you win or lose doesn't matter as long as your record is good. GET IT? And you are right. If you have a playoff system, many conferences are debating whether they even need a conference title game for it.

[OUfootballAuthority]

@FRArognetwork Agian, you are missing the point. Pay attention for once, and stop thinking of your selfish idiocracy. Let's say my Sooners lost to a ranked Texas team and Iowa State. And Boise lost a ranked USC and ranked Oregon. But Oklahoma went to the playoffs and not Boise. Which is most likely what would happen, because even if the BCS is gone, the rankings would still stay. Is that fair? Here's a question, who deserves to get in? A playoff will not fix the argument, only worsen it.

[FRArognetwork]

@OUfootballAuthority number one yes a 7-9 team got into the playoffs but they had the best record in the nfc west thats why and guess what they didnt win did they and no dignity isnt lost u lose to a high ranked team means you werent good enough to win it all and why would that game matter? cuz its a step closer to the championship and its like saying the sec title or any conference title doesnt matter cuz u still get into a bowl game right? so why would that game matter WHY EVEN WATCH IT?
