Arkansas had a rough finish to their season, but they could have won other conferences. Also, why are people being so hard of Florida? Sure, they weren't what people are used to seeing, but they never lost by more than a touchdown. They should have beat Tennessee. LSU, Georgia, and Mississippi State were all games that could have easily gone the other way. Sometimes a solid team can just be caught by surprise. Just ask Arizona State. Quote:

auburn/lsu/georgia/florida/tennessee. why does OU deserve mnc game? big xii south is the toughest division in the nation this year. ou/tx/tx-tech/aTm/oSu were all ranked at some point in the season. pac10? cal/usc then who? i'd have loved to see ou/auburn,but ou/sc aint a bad matchup. as for all the cinderalla non-bcs teams, .................... they dont deserve it one bit. utah beat aggy and that's it i wish utah got paired with auburn/tx/michigan so everyone could see once and for all how pathetic these teams are. we all know what happened to the horny toads last year :P

Dont worry about Utah. they'll get beat solidly by Pitt.
And as for Auburn's strength of schedule, they weren't supposed to be penalized for playing citadel...it wasn't there fault. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6632801/ Quote:

I think it would be more fair to not blame auburn if we knew what the procedure of teams opting out of games. It doesn't seem logical to me that a team who is bound to playing another team can just say "oh sorry, we're not doing that anymore" seems to me the teams would have to agree or something to that effect in order for a team to opt out of a non-conference matchup. someone find out the rules and post them, then we'll decide who's fault it is. By the text alone, it sounds like Auburn allowed Bowling Green to buy their way out of the game, and if that's the case then its their own fault for not saying "no, eff you you're playing us."

Of course, they let BG out of the game, but they probably should have done some research first. They probably thought it wouldn't be that hard to find someone to play, but by then it was too late. I'm sure if they knew they had to play a 1-aa team they would never have agreed to let BG out of the game.

By the way, didn't Auburn buy their way out of playing FSU a few years ago? |

well I know it sounds ridiculous but if people are going to defend them with "its bowling green's fault" then i'm going to offend them with "its their own fault for letting them out of the game." I doubt it says anywhere that if a team wants out of a game you have to let them.

I never said it was BG's fault, but you can't just go around saying Auburn should be punished for having a weak schedule and pointing out that they played citadel like they had scheduled it years in advance because they were too scared to play someone else. Believe me, they didn't want to play the citadel, they just got shafted.

However, I think the discussion is getting off on a tangent that most people already believe anyway. The problem is not with bowling green nor is it really with Auburn. The problem is with the NCAA. Of course, the media does not help a whole lot either. |

My Playoff Idea:
12 teams. 6 'major conferences champs' 6 'at large bids' Commitee picks at larges. Utah and Boise St would have made it through a commitee with those undefeated seasons. This would also allow teams from the MAC and other mid-major conferences a chance. Bracket: Seeds 1-4 get by-week the first week. 5-12 play normal bracket games. Winners from those 4 games play by-week teams. Winners from those play next game. Off Week. Those teams play for national championship. Time frame: Start Thanks giving weekend. Play first three sets of games. Take time off over Christmas. Play championship game new years weekend. TaDa, a true national champion. |

Yeah....Auburn-Utah would have been a good game, but the Auburn-VT game was good as well. Utah should have played a top 10 team at least. I thought OU would put up a fight at least since USC struggled against teams earlier in the year. USC just came to play a championship game and OU didn't even show up. The sad part about all this is that this is the part of the year where we are farthest away from college football. I wish it were september again.
