Re: Official Washington exposes Hawai\'i the Fraud Thread
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If Hawaii is that good, they win in playoffs. If Hawaii sucks, they get killed first round, discussion over. [/ QUOTE ] This argument is illogical for advocating a playoff. If Hawaii is a fraud, they would likely take a playoff spot away from a team that actually had a better chance of winning than they did. It's not like the NCAA basketball tourney where almost any team that has even a remote chance of winning is included. In an 8-team playoff including Hawaii, it would probably exclude ASU and Tennessee would would both beat the [censored] out of Hawaii. [/ QUOTE ] right in addition to the huge advantage it would give the team seeded, mythically, as #1 with having one less game on the way to the title [/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying a playoff system is perfect, no system is. But is a million times better than the trainwreck that exists now. I would much rather have a slightly flawed system where teams could fight it out on the field than a [censored] system based on popular opinion. [/ QUOTE ] Well, I just don't think it's a playoff is a "more perfect" system. In general, the difference between the #12 team and the #8 team is less than the difference between #2 and #3 (at least imo, I'm open to arguments that's not true). With the amount of variance in college football, any top 8 team can win the tournament. So a tournament just adds more selection bias and, to at least a small extent, cheapens regular season performance. |
