Chris, the same rules would probably apply,depending on where Tech was in the polls which I assume would probably fourth like TCU, unless one of the three loses, they don't play for the NC,but the point I was making was they still have a chance if certain things fall into place. I pull for the two best teams to make it and I pull for the best match up. I'd feel that way even if Alabama wasn't involved. My whole main point was the season normally takes care of all of this, problem is this year is that we haven't had any true major upsets. I think even if you have a playoff, it's still not going to be fair to everyone. I think having the plus one could be the solution to all of this or split the national championship trophy because more times then not, the BCS has worked.

Stacey... the scenario i tried to create was if Va Tech was undefeated, so imagine if Florida, Va Tech and Texas were the 3 remaining unbeaten (I wanted to use Alabama because I know that is your team)... the reason i root for the other 3 to make it is not because i think they would make an interesting championship game, the two best teams should make it (if texas wins) ONLY because two of the teams are in the SEC, what if it was SEC, Big 12, and ACC (or any other big time school, USC, Ohio State....)

More then likely Va. Tech would be left out because they lost to Alabama and because the ACC is a weaker conference then the Big 12 and the SEC. But like with TCU, if Texas or Alabama lost to their opponents, more then likely Va. Tech plays for the national championship. The other three teams have a chance now, but as I pointed out earlier the teams ahead of them have the advantage because of the conferences they play in and the strength of schedule.

continuing to point 2... it's not wanting to see TCU, Boise State or Cincinnati in the Championship, rather seeing them with a chance at advancing to the Championship after winning the semi final or perhaps the quarter final...

Bama... good job on the article and generating a long discussion... how about looking at the playoff scenario this way... what if instead of florida and alabama, one of the big three remaining was from the acc... for example, let's say BC (ok, not convincing, we will use Va Tech).... So the three undefeated teams left were Texas, Alabama, and Va Tech, and all 3 won their conference championships

Oh and FYI last time I checked, TCU is still in the running for a national championship, problem is the teams ahead of them haven't lost and play in tougher conferences. You tend to forget that if Texas loses this weekend, TCU could be playing for a national title so again, your arugment is losing ground.

Homer really like Benn get back to stuff you know instead trying to discuss college football which you don't follow close enough to even have a CLUE what you speak of because seriously it's people like you and Benn whom I have a problem with about the BCS. You two probably barely watch college football and all of a sudden, you are suppose to be experts about about sitting up a playoff system just so you don't have to watch the SEC dominate AGAIN. Traditionalist like myself and REAL college football fans,love seeing the larger schools play for championships. Get Real Homer nobody wants to see two no-name teams fight it out for the national championship other then casual fans like yourself who probably have no rooting interest at all. Real fans of the game have been waiting all season to see this match-up and to say conferences with teams with two or more loseson their record some how proves they are better then my precious SEC is a F-ing joke. I'll say it before and I'll say it again, most of this crap is you and Benn's dislike of the bigger conferences mainly the SEC because they contend for national championships every year while the rest of the teams play no one. TCU has played two ACC teams (whippee) and BYU who got their guts stomped by FSU a 6-6 team and by Utah who also is average. Oh and the last time I check, there are more Division I schools out there that TCU can play to make their schedule tougher so that excuse is lame like your argument. This is like arguing the the 2008 election. Your side lost get over it!

If there is one thing I hate, it is ignorant people. You act like we are saying Alabama and the SEC suck, but what you fail to comprehend, is our REAL point. Bama, can you send me a link or copy and paste one single time when ANYONE said Texas and the SEC winner DON'T belong in the title game? Don't waste your time, it never happened. All we are saying is the other teams, who did not lose all year, should get their shot, but won't, and never will in the current system. You keep saying play a tougher schedule, but how can they when the larger schools (who make for a tougher schedule) refuse to play the smaller ones (the good ones I mean, not FCS schools like Chattanooga, hello Crimson Tide)? Florida played one ranked opponent all year before the Bama game and failed to run anyone out of the stadium (I mean anyone good), and it was an okay LSU team. Rough schedule, VERY deserving of their number one ranking, or not. So did Boise (Oregon), but they rolled almost everyone. Texas played two, and neither OK or OK ST are anything to write home about this year. TCU beat two ACC schools on the road, as well as BYU and Utah (both ranked). I have no problem admitting Alabama probably had the toughest schedule of all the undefeateds, with four ranked opponents prior to Saturday (which I won't be watching, let alone salivating over, as you suggested), it's too bad two of them are no longer ranked, so maybe they weren't as good as advertised. With so many teams (100+) vying for a spot in a single game, it will NEVER be fair in the current system, but keep those blinders on Bama. Oh, and your precious SEC may not be the best conference in America. Yeah, they have the top two teams, but other than that, one ranked team. Three other conferences can say that. The ACC (4) and Pac-10 (5) have more ranked teams, oh, and they are willing to play teams outside of their conference who have slightly more than a snow flake's chance in hell of winning. Who is Alabama got next year, Wofford? Dartmouth? Fordham? All of the above?

I look at schedules,national rankings in certain catagories and overall play. If you look at those kind things, then to me at the end of the season you will have the two best teams playing for a championship. Two of the three play each other this weekend.

You believe you do not know. Without a playoff we will never know. Experts thought that Oklahomo would beat Bosie State but that didnt happen. Without a playoff you can never really say who teh best team is

I will say without hesitation I believe Alabama, Florida and Texas is better then the other undefeated teams left. Most experts think so too. I haven't heard a single one make a case for TCU being better then the top three teams ahead of them. If these teams want to make a case for themselves, play a tougher schedule. The main reason they don't get recognition is all three of the other undefeated teams play in weaker conferences, that's why the SEC and Big 12 are ahead of them.

Oh and another thing, all you people who want a playoff, would you feel comfortable seeing an LSU or USC a two or three loss team playing for a national championship? So, if LSU had beaten an unbeaten TCU to get a rematch with Alabama or Florida, would you be ok with that? Cause I got news for you, a 16 game playoff would include two and three loss teams who could beat an unbeaten team. How fair is that since most of you including you Benn are talking about fairness.

The problem with the BCS is that how do you know those 2 teams are the best when there are still 6 undefeated teams left. Do you know for a fact that alabama is better than TCU or Bosie State. NO. that why we need a playoff to determine it.

Benn really stick to what you know which apparently isn't much but the little you do know, stick with it. Did you check TCU's schedule? probably not last time I checked it, out of all the undefeated teams left, Alabama's schedule was the toughest. I'll gladly post the link for you since you probably won't check it yourself to prove my point and if you think TCU's schedule is tougher then Alabama's then you truly are missing the boat. The BCS is a joke for those who can't stand to see the same teams over and over again and yet if there was a playoff, the same teams would probably be there so assuming somehow that TCU would make it because they YOU think they are better then the three teams ahead of them is nuts. Read the article again Benn, I said all teams should be included in the BCS that's my only problem with it but the system the way it is works because it is getting the two best teams in the country involved and yes that happens to be one of my teams, but hell even if it wasn't, I'd still say the system works because that's the purpose of it. See Benn I took a few journalism courses and one thing we learned in JN 101 is to do your research. If you are going to try to make a case for TCU at least do your homework first.

"Last time I checked, I was the ONLY person on here who thought Alabama would go undefeated while the rest of you chumps laughed at me and said I didn't know what I was talking about" --- for the record I do not remember this conversation and I absolutely did not put forth any opinion about Alabama going undefeated. Maybe call out the people who actually did say something instead of blind blanket statements. In journalism we call that 'libel.'

My stuff is rarely 'discussed' because it is based in reason. When I wrote my tongue-in-cheek article about how lame Philly fans were I got a hell of a response. Why? Because I made a stupid argument based on factors I know nothing about. The only difference, Stacey, is that mine was done on purpose to rile up B-Dub. Yours is an asinine claim that you actually believe so that you can justify your team getting in while others who deserve their shot are excluded. And as far as your assertion that Alabama has played a tougher schedule than non-SEC teams, maybe look at TCU's schedule.

Homer who died and made you Benn, or anyone else Lord and Savior of college football? Last time I checked, I was the ONLY person on here who thought Alabama would go undefeated while the rest of you chumps laughed at me and said I didn't know what I was talking about, guess what? They are 12-0, again. My whole point which you STILL apparently don't get is the BCS ACTUALLY WORKS! If you read the bylaws which some people actually have done, the purpose of the whole system to put the two best teams on the field. Not the numbers 3-25. I've yet to hear really any of you who are against the BCS explain to me why Texas, Alabama or Florida don't deserve to play for a national championship. As far as the dead horse, you guys apparently can't accept that this isn't Burger King and you can't have things your way. This is not little league where everyone gets to play, this is college football and what makes it great, is it's not littered with a bunch of unnessary games to decide a champion. One game, one champion.
