so yeah there’s lots of flaws with the new format but people yearning for the pre-bcs era are doing it with rose (lol) colored glasses. Pre-bcs era Oregon beats Indiana by 21+ in the rose bowl and is declared national champion. I’d prefer that personally cuz I think we’ll lose to Ohio state, but I think most of this board should be thankful for the new system (this year at least).
Name a downside to the new system?
Maybe, playing 16 or 17 games.
Now, the best four teams are guaranteed to get in and whoever runs the gauntlet deserves it.
Yes, FSU sucked last year but you cannot say (100%) that the best 4 teams got in.
This will crown a true champion.
I know, some of the girls on this board (or in the sec) want boise and asu to not have a first round bye but there has to be a reward for winning your conference.
The current system is the best ever at this level. This cannot be disputed (rationally).
