College Selection Committee vs. BCS...early thoughts?

No one seemed to like the BCS but I am certain that right about now there are more than few folks who aren't any more thrilled with the selection committee. How do you feel?

 

I am obviously biased but I think that OSU belongs in. I agree that Baylor & TCU suffered for playing a laughably weak non-conference schedule. But usually such games are played early in the season. How do you not then punish Alabama for taking a week off at the end of the season by scheduling Western Carolina University? That schedule padding at that point in the season alone should have put Oregon over Alabama for that claim to be consistent.

 

The question of padding the score to impress voters comes in. Looking to OSU they were a 4.5 point underdog against Wisconsin. Is blowing out #13 what got them in the play offs? What is the impact of such blow outs of quality opponents? Blowing out a FCS or 1-aa team or even a 2-10 conference opponent should not impress anyone but what about a team with a high ranking in offense, defense and schedule?

 

I expect people to be hating the selection committee as much as they hated the BCS in 4 3 2 1....

I know one of my friends who goes to TCU is really mad about them not getting in and blaming it upon OSU being the bigger more well known school, money, blah blah blah.

 

My personal opinion is I think Colorado should go to the playoffs. :laughin:

 

In all reality I haven't been keeping up too much with College football due to not having a TV.  If TCU is really mad about not making it in then they can take it out on Ole Miss and show everyone that they did deserve the chance.  And vise versa OSU can show everyone they deserved the #4 spot and beat or at least compete with bama.  Either way the games will be exciting to watch no matter who is playing.

 

As long as AFA wins and CSU I really couldn't care about the outcome of any of the other bowl games... maybe UCLA a little too.

I do agree with 1 and 2.  I felt as though something like this was going to happen.  They put it in place so that the BCS championship game wouldn't end up like the ND vs Bama championship.  But you are going to have people that are upset that they aren't in it.

Those teams could all play each other all day and none of them would win.  :rotfl2:

 

 

Watch yourself!  :)
