No matter what system they come up with, there will always be someone on the outside looking in. There will always be the NIUs of the world bitching that their undefeated season counts just the same as Ohio or Florida or USC. Then we will have the “west coast bias” meaning every west coast team is better, regardless of record and schedule strength just because a fan base says it so loudly.
The we will have the “chaos” crowd hoping for the most unappealing title match-up and bitching just to bitch and hoping for the worst case scenario just to upset the most people.
Dude, my school got hosed, this whole thing is bogus man, we need a (fill in the blank with the solution dujour) to make sure teams like our don’t get hosed by the media, NCAA and Skull and Bones in conjunction with ESPN, CNN, Fox, the Koch brothers and the Bilderbergs along with ABC, CBS, NBC to keep us out..
A playoff won’t make more people happy and will piss off more schools.
You are correct, which is why I made sure I alluded to that several times in the article. The funny thing is, people blamed the BCS when what they are really mad with is simply the human nature of disagreement over rankings and seedings and so on. The BCS did not cause that, and ending the BCS will not solve that.
The issue for some fortunate schools won’t be whether they get in, but what their seeding is and whether they have to travel. So there’ll be bitching on 2 fronts.
