Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?

As for NCAA basketball tourney, it depends on what the goal is. If the goal is to crown the true/best champion, I would limit it to the top 16 teams at the end of the year. The problem is that there are 330+ division I-A basketball schools and tons of conferences and the big tournament gives them all at least entrant. It also makes the tournament go longer and produce more revenue and excitement. Variance = excitement, but doesn't necessarily produce the best champion of course. [/ QUOTE ] There are of course ways to give the the top 16 teams an edge while including a shot for 64 teams. |

the field and weather conditions for the osu-mich game contributed greatly to the lack of offense. i dont think its fair to say they didnt look impressive. they played great.

[/ QUOTE ] Also consider the fact that the goal of a game is to win, not to score a ton of points. When you have a lead that you believe you can hold, its a lot of times better to just run the ball safely than have a QB like Boeckman throw it, who might hit 5 TDs or 5 INTs if you do so. Ohio State completely dominated Michigan in that game. |

Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
Hypothetically...
Let's say WVA & Mizzou both win tonight. And let's say Pat White's injury is a little worse than advertised, ending his season. Would it be horrible if the voters pushed tOSU in front of WVa for the title game? Think Oregon. A couple of weeks ago, the Ducks were thought to be a top 2 team. Dixon gets hurt, and everything unravels. Thoughts? |

That would put tOSU and UGA in the BCS championship, which would cause approximately four million people to shoot themselves in the head. [/ QUOTE ] Bump. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
