Wow, ESPN Steals My NCAA Football Tournament Idea

[Walter]

Awesome... I've only been doing this for FIVE YEARS.

They even had the KU-WVU and Hawaii-USC matchup I had.

[Walter]

I should sue for intellectual property.

[bills_red]

DO IT!!!!!

and give me some

I saw that and I was like I think I have seen this before, lol

[Matt McGuire]

You need to include every conference for it to be fair. Imagine if NCAA Hoops didn't do this. Gonzaga never would have come to light. George Mason never would have went to the Final Four.

A ten team bracket was so gay/bad/ugly...only did it so they didn't have any debate as to Hawaii/Kansas getting in...just horrible.

I really hope there is never a playoff. College football is great the way it is now. Determining a national champion is so overrated it isn't funny...people make a big deal over who should win the Heisman, ridiculous. I feel the same way about a playoff. We don't need one. BCS is perfect? No. But does it get it right most of the time: YES.

Missouri losing, Kansas losing, West Virginia losing, etc. means NOTHING if there is a playoff. All these teams likely get in the 8 team playoff or whatever and the regular season loses so much meaning.

But you don't know who the best team is... you're deciding it on a computer instead of the football field.

Using your argument, why not just put the Pats and Cowboys in the Super Bowl and forget the NFL playoffs?

Don't even go there...if this happened in NCAAF, then why would Georgia stay in the SEC? They are Sun Belt bound and they get the automatic bid every year.

Oregon? They bolt for the WAC. Michigan? They bolt for the MAC.

[Walter]

That wouldn't happen because those schools get more of a revenue share in their current conferences. You don't see good teams jumping ship to crappy conference in college basketball. C'mon man, that would never happen.

[Adam Mac]

Walter sorry you can't sue I stole your idea and sold it to ESPN for 10,000$ and told them to switch one or two of the teams Thanks for the christmas bonus Walter!

[Walter]

Damn you, Adam! LOL

64 teams (not sure how many at large bids) vs. 5 at large bids? No bad argument

No

It would be more like, why don't the Pats play a Canadian football team int eh Super Bowl.

Did the BCS not get it right last year Walter?

[Walter]

It's all about the money, Matt. The reason programs like Arizona or Wake Forest don't jump ship to the WAC and Atlantic Sun is because they get so much money being in the power conferences. You even see teams from lesser conferences go to stronger ones, i.e. Cincinnati.

[Walter]

No

What you're saying is the two best teams in the league should play each other without a playoff.

So, you want Patriots vs. Cowboys. Your poor Bucs, meanwhile, have to play the Jaguars in some meaningless game. Sounds like a blast!
