They already added a bye week. The layoff was a problem ONCE in 5 bcs games, when they were told how great they were. I wonder which was the main problem?
I'd be real curious if you buy this kneejerk fallacy about scheduling... when it pertains to osu.

Yeap because with a playoff an 7-5 team could NEVER win the NC. Just like a wildcard team 7-5 could never win the superbowl. Because we know that in 2005 the 14-2 Colts were superbowl champs, right...

You mean with teams like La Tech and Tulane??
And 50+ day layoffs only affected OHio STate LAST YEAR and last year alone. Before that Ohio STate had won a 4 BCS games in a row....
Or if you mean to crown the "best team" you don't have to look very far back to find out where that absolutely screwed the SEC out of a National Title game appearance....
therefore

What does that have to do with anything? A 4-loss team deserves NO shot at an elite bowl game. CCG's have routinely provided that absurd chance.

It is not absurd, they earn that chance on the field. It is not decided by a bunch of guys trying to make some money. Those rewards are decided by the play on the field.

Really? The CCG concept wasn't made up by a bunch of guys trying to make some money? Do you really believe that? |
