If it was an undefeated Hawaii or a one-loss BCS conference champion like Ohio State, I'd take Ohio State almost every time. But I hate rewarding teams who lose twice, especially when the way the system works right now, if you want to win a national title, every game is supposed to be a playoff game of sorts.

I hate rewarding teams that end their season before Thanksgiving and still can't go undefeated.

I really don't see why it matters when you end your season.

It wasn't so much the fact of the date but the lack of championship game.

True or False.. if MU was lucky enough to end their season without a championship game they would play for national title.

Undoubtedly true. I already said how I'd take care of this.

Then again, teams in conferences with conference title games who don't make the game itself are almost never in that position.

I hate BCS crap so much and thats why I'm being antagonistic. People should play by the same rules to get into the title game. If I'm a conference I don't schedule championship games, my big rivals at end of year, etc. Every big game is early. So so so so so dumb.

Go Georgia, expose the system.

I totally get this statement, and I totally agree with you given what the system is.

Also, I absolutely DETEST preseason polls.

If it was up to me, the polls would not start at all until after week 5 at least.

The Hawaii argument might be void if they keep playing like this.

I am a fan of a playoff system where 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5, followed by 1 playing the lower advancing seed and 2 the higher. The winners of this round would then play for all the beans

All of these would be played on neutral sites. IMO these games would be a huge draw. Since the Sugar/Orange/Rose bowl would lose some of their significance with 1-6 out of the picture, maybe they could rotate being the championship game
