BCS is out....

You leaving Arizona State out of Georgia's non-conference for a reason, or because you forgot the Bulldogs went there and whipped them?

 

No.

 

Out of the formula, yes, but not out of the various BCS computers that are part of the formula.

 

Probably the same reason he also left off Georgia Tech and inserted Jacksonville, which is inaccurate.

 

I remember hearing a lot of guff about that needing to happen. Good to see nothing was done. :

 

Nope. Not on purpose, just an oversight. Like I said, no disrespect to the SEC. They play great football.

 

Probably the dumbest thing I've heard in a discussion about college football this year. And that's saying something.

 

They jumped East Carolina this year. And got repaid with enough fail to float a floatilla of failboats

 

Certainly not the dumbest I've heard, and it will likely be surpassed in the months to come anyway. I do know that the system is designed to pit undefeated teams from participating conferences against each other. If Penn State is undefeated, it belongs. We can't get into some kind of "Which conference is BETTER!!!!!!" argument.

Also, editorhoo: let's not fellate Ohio State THAT much. Yes, the play a single "name" team in nonconference every year. But the rest is filled with the likes of Ohio U. As long as a USC schedules three nonconference BCS schools just about every year (and frankly, UCLA's nonconference is seldom the Sisters of the Poor), then the bar is raised for the rest. No BCS conference school should ever schedule a D I-AA school, and they should do what they can to get the six top conferences (and a BYU or two spinkled in) to play each other in nonleague games.

 

Several years ago Ohio State, very publicly, decided to play all the D1 and IAA schools in Ohio as well as Youngstown State in order to give themselves a win, but opting to give those schools one goodsize paycheck game.
Playing a D-1AA outside Ohio, yeah. You are right. Playing Youngstown State? I argue with you. good for OSU; more larger state schools (Hello Alabama and Auburn) should do that.

 

That's fair for tOSU . . . . and I get scheduling Youngstown State for Tressel.

But what's every other school's excuse?

 

Everybody wants 7 home games because they want the revenue.
