The Official 2012-2013 College Football Thread

That's funny cause the executive director of the BCS said they're deciding on the final 4 team playoff format in late June.

this is what was said in the article ESPn got the same article i got mine from another website

Sweep up all the confetti.
Put the corks back in the champagne bottles.
The college football playoff party may have been a touch premature.
At least if Harvey Perlman has anything to say about it.
And, as the University of Nebraska chancellor and a member of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, he does.
Just when you thought it was safe to declare death to the BCS and celebrate the birth of some kind of honest-to-goodness playoff, Perlman reminded everyone who has the final say on the next postseason format for college football.
It's people that don't understand college football.
It's presidents and chancellors such as Perlman.
"It is clear the presidents will still make the final decision," he said.
College commissioners haven't been the only ones huddling about what to do when the current BCS contracts run out after the 2013 season. In a wide-ranging interview Thursday with ESPN.com, Perlman said that the CEOs of schools in the Big Ten and Pac-12 have had "informal meetings" on the subject themselves.
"I think we're largely aligned in thinking a plus-one with a different ranking after the bowl games to select No. 1 and No. 2 would be acceptable," Perlman said. "Our second choice would probably be a four-team playoff inside the bowls."
Let me get this straight. If Perlman and his fellow ivory tower administrators have their way, college football will change its postseason by not really changing its postseason.
The only real difference between the current BCS and a true plus-one is when you select two teams to play in the national championship game. The BCS does it after the regular season and the conference championship games. The plus-one would do it after the bowl games.
In short, you would keep all the controversy we have now and add the issues associated with setting up meaningful bowl matchups.
If that weren't enough presidential logic for you, Perlman also said this: "I can't figure out a good reason to have a playoff to start with."
Let me take a stab at it. Because every other NCAA sport has a playoff? Because every other level of college football except the Football Bowl Subdivision does, too? Because, um, there's a scoreboard at every game?
Kevin Scarbinsky is a columnist for The Birmingham News. His column is published on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Perlman shot down the promising idea of playing semifinal games on campus in a four-team playoff, even though it could benefit Big Ten schools such as Nebraska that often have to play virtual road games in bowls far from home. Once again, it was his logic that lacked - what's the word? - logic.
"The end result would be that the bowl system and the Rose Bowl would be kind of like the NIT in basketball," he said. "If you have a playoff system outside the bowls ... I don't think anybody would pay attention to the bowls."
Has he checked the attendance of the Orange Bowl in recent years? Who's paying attention now?
Give Perlman credit for one thing. By speaking out, he made it clear that he and his Big Ten and Pac-12 counterparts don't care about trying to find the fairest system possible to determine a true champion.
"Our highest priority is to preserve the status of the Rose Bowl and our connection to it," he said.
To prove just how out of touch he is, Perlman threw cold water on the idea of bidding out the national championship game to a neutral site such as Dallas or Indianapolis. He posed this question: "Would Nebraska fans, in the first week in January, rather travel to Pasadena or Indianapolis?"
I've never worn corn on the cob as a hat, but I think I can answer that question.
The Cornhuskers won three national titles in four years from 1994-97, a feat Alabama will try to match this season. I watched them win the 1995 title in the Fiesta Bowl and a share of the 1997 title in the Orange Bowl. They're as passionate about their football team as any fan base in the SEC.
If a national title was on the line in Indianapolis, there would be more Huskers in that town than Hoosiers.
Perlman's dissenting opinion is distressing in its timing. It comes just as Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany seems willing to abandon his cave and accept some sort of four-team playoff.
That's college football. Plus one step forward. Minus one step back.

Why would anybody listen to a big 10 school who had more then 10 teams for quite a while now.

Them niggas can't come up with a decent conference name let known comment on what should happen in college football crowning a champion.

caddo man

I betcha if you show them the money. All that talk will change.

CottonCitySlim

Its really not even about a fair format its mostly about how to slow down the sec, or get an advantage over them

^^^^^^^^^^basically


all that 'preserve the status of the rose bowl' talk = money because its a game between the big10 champ and the pac12 champ.

has nothing to do with slowing the sec

greenwood1921

lol @ "slow down the sec".

2 things Americans have been asking for the last hundred years:

1. Lower taxes

2. A college football playoff.

right... how is killing the playoff slowing the SEC, when no conference has benefitted more from the BCS system in the last 6-7 years?

allday1992

BCS don't give a fuck about conferences the only people who get advantages are the elite programs

As much as niggas say ok st got fucked over the same thing happened to auburn in 04.

The OU, USC, BAMA, Ohio st, type niggas are always going to get in before everybody else even with the playoff system.

CottonCitySlim

They were talking about it on cfb live, when your conference wins 7 in a row and the last one had 2 teams from the same conference from the same division. The big ten and pac 12 were okay with the status quo until the recent happenings so you make all these dumb restrictions like 1 team per conference champions only...things like that.

if you really tryin to say that the big10 and pac12 is saying no to this playoff system, to slow the SEC... you low on common sense. the whole point of a playoff type system is to prevent what happened last year.

you seem to have this shit backwards. if you one of them 'SEC fans' you should be happy the big10 and pac12 squashin this shit

greenwood1921

It's obvious alotta niggas don't know sports history. Especially college football.

Every conference has had an era where they had multiple teams that were championship-caliber.

The record for most watched game in college football history is still held by Nebraska/Oklahoma in the 70s (the REAL game of the century).

And Michigan/Ohio State/Penn State were contenders every year in the 80s. And even the Pac 12 had a era when Stanford and USC were title contenders year after year.

SEC is doing nothing new -- they're just doing it now.

That's like a lil nigga seeing Andrew Bynum go for 20/10 in a Lakers game and saying: "Man, nobody ever dominated the paint for L.A. like Bynum!"









No matter how old you are, if you know your shit you gon' look at that lil nigga like...






















or

Any CFB fan should know that this run of NCs will stop sometime soon its too many teams and too many injuries for one conference to keep dominating…

But any logical CFB fan should also know that the sec will be up there at the top for a minute unless teams start catching violations left and right.

Just look at recruiting the best states are texas, california,florida and georgia.

Bama can go anywhere and get the best players, lsu is going to get into texas, and florida and georgia are sec states.

That's why ou stays at the top because they go into texas and california, usc is up there because they own california.

greenwood1921

Yeah, but those states have always been goldmines for recruiting. It's just more niggas going to programs that were laughable or average in the past.

As cocky as some of these "sec fans" are, they should love the playoff concept. If they are what they say they are -- nothing should change.

MR.CJ

lmao niggas shooked of the sec

Doubletee

I just dont like the fact that a fucking computer judges how teams will be paired in the championship game.And im getting tired of some of these meaningless bowl games. We just need a playoff bracket simple as that.

greenwood1921

God hates f@gs and texass fans.

Proof....

Shizlansky

Son ate that shit though.

allday1992

Damn bruh caught it square

The bus must have been going super slow not to kill him

Boss Hogg Hustle

He shook it off though. Try again modafucka....

The ghost of Austin Box was like "oh word? Hol'up..."
