Reply #11: I like tradition. [View All]

Some don't.

I don't think it's the same as a college basketball playoff. The logistics of hosting a football game are far, far different.

Be that as it may, I just liked the old way. I don't like the BCS - it's stupid. But I liked it the way it was because it was the tradition my father and grandfathers and great-grandfathers grew up with (grandmothers, too, for that matter). It was fun.

A playoff would take the fun out of it.

We're Wyoming fans. Wyoming had a surprise 6-win season this year and they get to go to a bowl game. It makes a lot of people happy. A school like Wyoming with a 6-6 season would get completely shut out by any proposed system.

And I think it's patently unfair to keep the current bowls as a playoff. You're going to tell Michigan and Ohio State they have to play all their playoff games on the road? Home field would have to be factored in.

It's just a fundamental difference between people. You'll never convince me that the old way wasn't good. It was a lot of fun. I loved it. It's already been taken away from me, like so much else. Why not just drive the knife in a little further?
