I demand to see the #1 USC Trojans play the #2 Boise State Broncos in the NCAA DI-A National Title game

I live in Metro Phoenix and there is a large contingent of Ohio State fans and you don't have a 26 coach limit as far as I can tell, hell you all seem to know the game better than your own coach win or lose....

I am guessing your buddies told you that Tress shouldn't be running the 2nd string QB out there in the 2nd quarter and that they should have kicked the field goal in the 4th Q?

You don't have to be a Buckeye fan to figure that out. For being MR CONSERVATIVE those were a couple very risky moves that didn't work out very well.

Bowl games cannot be counted as a valid measure of quality of play given that in any sport, including college football, having a full month off with no competitions renders a team ineffective. Add to that the drunken holiday parties with drugs, beer, pizzas, ribs, burgers, hard liquor, cocaine, marijuana, and coeds.

Consequently any bowl game results, be it Oklahoma's loss to USC a few years back, Hawaii's loss to Georgia last year, and the PAC-10's five victories over the weaker east/mid/south, are only 'suggestive' and far from a 'confirmation' of domination either which way.

The only way to determine a true NCAA D1-A National Champion, is the have a playoff bracket commence no later than 2 weeks after the end of the conference season. When the college kids are still sharp, in shape, within weight, sober, and clear of illegal drugs.

You got that right.

They do not deserve a shot at a title. Compare this schedule with a Big 12 or SEC schedule and, even with 2 loses, a team in those conferences should get a bid before Boise State.

They do have one of the better punchers in college football though.

Funny, if they were such a bad team and there were people around the countyr that thought they were good, why won't actual good teams go play them at home. If they were so bad couldn't USC go rake them at their place?

Oh, no, that's right. They don't play anyone because everyone refuses to go play them at their place because they would lose.

Boise State will NEVER, however, make it to a BCS title game. It just won't be allowed to happen, as big of a travesty as that is.

You know, Boise State has proven themselves worthy contenders, knocking off the likes of Oregon, a bowl-bound Oregon State team, Louisville back when they were ranked high, and OU in a BCS bowl in recent years. As such, in a playoff format, if they could draw a top-eight seed, they would and should get their shot. However, as with most major conference teams, I highly doubt Boise State goes undefeated in a major conference. They would likely have two glaring losses, just as notable as their wins.

mumble all you want. it's all speculation. alls we know fro damn sure is that the pac10 & the west is where coll fb is the best.

and if they played in a major conference with two losses they would probably get their BCS bid easier.... I bet if Oregon wins out they still get a better bowl than an undefeated BYU or Boise State team, as will Oklahoma... but Oklahoma won't because The OSU Cowboys will beat them with or without Bradford....

The Cowboys are going to surprise some folks, and I'm not talking about Wyoming. OU is done. Bradford's one problem. Three of their last four games is another (two on the road against solid opponents). They'd have to run the table from here, and I don't see it. Texas is another matter altogether.

My first instinct was to disagree, but if I did I would run the risk of being mistaken for Charles Manson or some other random adversary. Rather than invite that misguided wrath, I will simply nod silently!

There is no such thing as an NCAA DI-A National Title game. There is football game between two teams that are ranked 1&2 and that the major network televising it likes to call a National Championship so people watch it and sponsors pay mega bucks for commercial time.

Bring back the old system so we can argue about how is number one Jan 2. I loved it that way- more Bowl Games had meaning not just the "Championship".

And of course you have done precisely the opposite with that post, revealing your true colors in so doing. And the "fuse is lit...," to borrow a line. Good work.

There should be a "NCAA DI-A National Title game" after a playoff brackets consisting of DIA conference champions plus independent, with: no wildcards, no last year's considerations, no SOS, no Hollywood pretty points, no polls, no sportswriters.

There is a freaking game on every day of the week now. Why don't the hypocrites just throw the top 128 teams in a playoff starting the first week of december and play until only one team is standing in the middle of january? It will only take 7 weekends. If the 129 and 130 teams complain, they will be banned the following year from participation for being stupid enough to think it matters.

The PAC-10, WAC, MWC would be against removing in-conference games. The best college football players in the nation are tuned and honed in high schools in Oakland/East Bay, Portland, L.A. USD, Seattle, CIF, Tacoma, Dago, Fresno, Sac Shit Tomatoe, etc. The best prep players continue on to colleges on the Pacific Coast and Western States, where the rivalry heats up even further. This tradition has gone on for generations and generations, and we don't want it to end.

I still think a play-off system with 128 teams would be a huge mistake. The way it is now (BCS) is good because of the importance of every single game you play. One loss and your season is in the tank. It's not like the NFL where if you lose 4 or 5 it's no big deal. A possible solution is an 8-team playoff where it would still make every game important because you do not want to fall out of the top 8. Boise State, if undefeated, would make it into the final 8 positions. Just speculation.

An NFL/NBA/MLB system would be far better than the biased, bogus, and fraudulent BCS. The SOS is a worldwide joke. Having the major media companies decide the seeding through their voting sportswriters is interfereing in the game. Only the 11 conference champions and one independent would be invited to a 16 team bracket.

No wild cards. No 2nd place conference finishers. No previous years considerations. No legacy points (read USC & ND). No makeup, hairstyle, and evening gown points. The 12 teams would do a random draw for 4 byes the 1st week, 8 teams play the 1st week, 8 teams the 2nd week, 4 teams the 3rd week, with the NCAA Title game the 4th week.

SO Boise Beats 3 good teams (Oregon, Oregon ST. and Louisville), and one very good team (Oklahoma( over the last 5 years and they should be title contenders every year? Everyone's Argument against teams like Ohio State getting in the title game is that they play a patsy schedule. I agree the Buckeyes play 1 or two tough games a year and then skate through the big ten but their schedule is tougher than Boise's. Oregon is not even close to as good as Penn state and there is nobody on Boise's schedule even close to USC... You want in the Title game play better schools's. That is the same for the Big Ten and The ACC. If you aren't in the SEC, PAC 10 , or the Big 12 you don't deserve a Title shot unless you play great out of conference games. A 2 loss team in those conference's is better than the other conference champions that go undefeated. I love watching Boise knock teams off but they are not Title contenders. Upsets do not make a team on equal ground with these established programs.

You, I, and New York should not decide who the seeds are. Only the team players for that year. We need a system with no human bias, like the MLB, NFL, NBA has. That's fair wouldn;t you say ?
