That's what you get for having 12 teams in a conference. You play a bunch of non-conference patsies and don't have to play the best in your conference - unlike the Big 12 (10).

[El Supremo]

1. Alright El, we know you hate Oho State. So what?

[KamaAina]

5. You forgot to dot the 'i'.

[madinmaryland]

2. Just fucking stop it. Omaha Steve is one of the staunchest supporters of unions on DU.

[TexasTowelie]

6. Yes,

but if Omaha Steve plays any other team than Team Marta things will get really rank and staunchy. Here is a couch so Steve can hide.

3. Isn't this exactly how the Big 12 was for years with the Big 10 fans making the exact same

argument you're making now? You think the Big 12 isn't salivating at the idea of getting it's conf championship game back? Hell, if they had one last year they might have had at least ONE team in the BCS playoff.

[El Supremo]

7. Texas played OU every year.

And good riddence to CU & NU. 10 teams is better.

[hughee99]

8. You weren't the one complaining about TCU

And Baylor not getting into the playoff, right?

[El Supremo]

9. Screw Baylor.

And their president, Ken Starr.

TCU got flat-out fucked by the committee. They lost only one wild game by only three points.

[hughee99]

10. If they played in a conf championship

They might have gotten in.

[El Supremo]

11. I hate those damn things.

An extra game to have injuries.
The same teams have often played each other already.
The much better team can have a bad game and lose.

[hughee99]

12. So you must had the new playoff system with the extra games and all, then.

An extra game to have injuries, teams may have played each other before and the much better team can have a bad game and lose.

[El Supremo]

13. But that's for all the marbles.

But I don't like it either.

It's subjective and unfair to teams like TCU. And adding more teams and another round is bad for academics. But some would say: what academics?

I liked the old bowl system better. Let the AP decide.

[hughee99]

14. You seem to be okay with some group deciding who the national champion is, but not with deciding

which teams get to play for it.

In either case, it looks like TCU might be in the process of making all this a moot point for this season.

[El Supremo]

15. Yeah... I've yet to see a good way to have a true champion.

And still a lot of time left in that game.

BTW, where is your argument that the FCS has a tournament so why not the FBS? I can't answer that because I know next to nothing about the FCS.

[cheapdate]

4. They play nobody, with the possible exception of Michigan State.

And yet, they barely escaped Northern Illinois. It's a lot easier to be strong at the end of the season when your schedule is as easy as this.
