+1 I see no value-added in dropping this series. Iowa is rebuilding. UNI is established. How else are we going to see how/if we're progressing? Schedule more Chicago States and Brown's of the world?

Better than the usually-lame halftime stuff at CHA.

Not if it's after he retires.....some contract clause for example he stays in st. louis now.

My issue is we've had two years since 06 where the team underachieved significantly, with all sorts of talent. (06 and last year), with 2010 being a disaster. It seems like the coaching staff does a lot well....developing players, representing the university, etc., but in those two instances...

And the geographical sportswrites are better?

St. Louis needs to offer him less money but a piece of the team.

What was it then? 4th? Either way, it wasn't third.

It was mentioned on Bill King this morning (Sirius 91) chicken-sh!t Saban voted OK State as #5.

Time off, check; plane ticket, check; motel, check; game ticket, check. Excited about seeing Hawks in a bowl game (my first since the 09 Outback)....double check. Will have traveled from Pennsylvania to AZ to see my boyz play this year. Guess I'm a fan? Triple check!

Archie....goes from reclamation project/starter to DNP. Odd.

Sorry, but I always get a chuckle out of this type of retro-thinking logic. The fact who won the respective bowl games has ZERO to do with the stupid BCS-path taken to get the teams into the champ game. Zero.

How about diminish the voter's 2/3 input and put the computer at 2/3? Also, strengthen the computer's bias towards SOS...basketball does it...so can football. Or as others have said, go back to the split polls....it's all voter bias anyway. Look, an 8-team playoff, with seeding, like the...

Then using your (and other's) logic, why have a NC game at all this year? Simply crown LSU king now and be done with it. Why subject LSU to another game if they're the best team? It's absurd logic. And what happens if Alabama wins. They deserve #1 because they were given the only...

Quote: Originally Posted by hawkfan33 Why is a playoff needed this year? Pretty sure LSU has proven it is far and away the best team in the country. We could just crown them champs now as far as I'm concerned. Definitely, and it's like that many years. A playoff isn't going to guarantee that...

All very much true and piles on even more onto the BCS dogpile. Why should it matter if you lose late or early? It should be on your entire body of work....not "what have you done for me lately." Again, BCS voters are myopic and stupid.

Then why did #2 Michigan get hosed in 06 when their only loss was to #1 OSU at OSU, by three points also? They beat a 12-1 Wisky team, 10-3 MSU team and 9-4 PSU team that year. Florida got the #2 spot when they won their champ game. I'll tell you why. The BCS is a contribed facade, full of...

Anybody else disappointed the game wasn't played in rain/snow/wind/slop? Yeah, me neither.

We don't know that. Not at all. And without a playoff, we'll never know. Georgetown/Villanova Colts/Jets Owings/Gable Gardner/Karelin Appy state/Michigan I could go on. History is fraught with "locks" which turned out to be not the case.

Great game. Great exposure for the league. (Although the announcers are maybe forcing the Big-10 love a little bit). Long long overdue.

Using the score of the NC game to say FL deserved to be there is backwards (retro) thinking. It's all about who deserved a shot at the NC game at the time. Big-10 didn't have a conf champ game. Florida did....they got the exposure. Mich was off the radar. BCS loves the SEC.
