Opinion on changing college bowl games?

that's why I say they incorporate the bowl games into the playoffs. Have your semifinal and championship games your orange bowl, rose bowl, etc. then they can still have their smaller, nobody gives a shit.com bowl for those not in the playoffs.

Exactly. Imo the top 16 should play and distribute the sponsors based on the level of their current bowl game. Then keep whatever is below it so some schools can still get their trophies. The system right now just isn't fair enough, but I do believe it got it right this year. Alabama was unstoppable.

As was Boise St. They hold the same 14-0 record.

I also wouldnt say Bama was unstoppable. Texas had a true Freshman QB playing since the first quarter and as soon as he got his feet under him he shredded the Bama pass defense.



BTW, dont look at the final score. It is vastly inflated and doesnt show just how close the game was.

I think Bama probably would have played a different game if McCoy had stayed in. Boise State was good, but it's hard to say if they were really on the same level Texas and Bama were. Which is what sucks about the BCS, it's too subjective. We will never know if Boise was better than the champion, just like Utah last year.

I completely agree, it would have been a very different game. With the way the Bama pass defense played though, I honestly think they would have been shredded. With Colt in, you cannot drop 6 into coverage either because he was a threat to run, unlike Gilbert. That would have left Texas receivers even more open than they were.

I dont think Boise had a chance against any of the top 5 teams, but then again, no one really thought the Giants had a chance against the Pats a couple years ago either.

Utah is a very different story. They were a physical team, which is what Bama is. Bama also came in flat and figured they would easily win because they were just playing Utah.

and Boise didn't stand a chance against Ok State a couple years ago as well. Boise St. has had one constant the last few years, and that is exceptional coaching. That can make the difference in athleticism. It won't cover your ass every time, but it's worked so far for them. I think Bama beats Boise 7 out of 10 times. Good enough of a chance to win a NC though.
