Would you boycott watching BCS games?

If I get time I am going to take the 11 winners of the conferences and the top 5 at larges and simulate a playoff on NCAA last year....Any idea what those teams would be?

You are going to simulate it on a video game?

Wow what scientific research!

Why waste your time?

Lay off of the pot.

How would you suggest we do scientific research on this question?

Anyways...I am going to do this....I will post in another section as not to take up lots of space here.

16 Arizona State (At Large, #12)

8 BYU (Mountain West, #19)
9 UCF (CUSA, NR, 10-3)

5 USC (Pac-10, #6)

Well, I can see seeds 1-5 getting screwed over, and seeds 6-8 getting the easy part of this deal. By being the 1 seed, you should be playing FAU, not ASU. I agree with your pick of the 16 teams, but reorganize them.

1. OSU
2. LSU
3. Georgia
4. Oklahoma
5. USC
6. Hawaii
7. Florida
8. Arizona State
9. West Virginia
10. Va Tech
11. Kansas
12. Missouri
13. BYU
14. UCF
15. Central Michigan
16. Flolrida Atlantic

I agree, it basically makes the Sun Belt, MAC, and Mountain West 1 and out, but you can't put the #5 against a team ranked ahead of it by the end of the season (Georgia #4 AP).

My response would be Georgia needs to win its conference and USC needs to do better in the regular season then. This way the control of who you play is in your hands. But I do recognize that it looks weird....but just imagine those incredible games....USC has to play GA, Va Tech and OSU for the chance to play LSU in the national championship game! The argument that people wont travel to those games is ludicrous.

LOL DUDE. GET OVER IT!

You are crying over spilled milk.

There will certainly never be a 16 team playoff. IF there were to be a playoff, this is what will happen.

There will be a creation of a new championship division and the small schools will be left out. Boise would join the PAC 10, Notre Dame the Big Ten and everyone else would be left out. No MAC teams, no oher WAC teams, Sun BelT they would all be dropped a level. No more games against BCS division teams for the little guys...so no money for your schools. BG football wouldnt survive without those BCS schools helping them out.

But you want a playoff, this is what will happen if there is one...BG loses out and probably loses football after a few years. It will certainly lose other sports as they will no longer be able to depend on football for support. Students will have to pay for their tickets outside of tuition.

With a playoff in div. 1-a they are going to want to get rid of the non money making, uninteresting non BCS conferences from participating.

If you want it to be fair...you will have to join 1-aa level.

Have fun down there.

I think that is more reasonable....

Plus it gives you no scenario where its 2 SEC or Big 12 teams playing together in round 1.

The arguments that the 17th team or the team who is left out will still be mad, like the 3rd team, etc etc...I don't think holds much water. In this scenario your fate is in your hands. Win your conference title and you are in. In the above scenario the top 12 teams in the AP poll are all in.
