Division I College Football Should Implement a Play-off System

Ok, so…a computer is expected to know which team is better. Test: This year Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech all had only one loss (to each other) and otherwise finished the season untarnished. Oklahoma, with the highest scoring offense in D-I seemed to obvious pick as the best, however Texas had beaten the Sooner in a neutral site game half-way through the season, and then after taking on a gauntlet of games including Oklahoma State, and a hot Texas Tech squad which squeaked out a win at home in the wanning seconds to had Texas their only loss of the season. Again, how does a computer determine which is better? Further more, this is only looking at one conference this year, where all three of these teams obviously looked like national championship contenders. How can you justify that every year, only two teams deserve a shot at a title? Furthermore, what formula would this computer use to magically find the two best teams? Also, What constitutes the best? Because I'm beginning to think that you agree with the current system where the best is the biggest, most profitable, and most followed. Not the team that plays the best football. Also, you have yet to respond to the undeniable logic that every, I stress every, other collegent (and as I've stated pro and high school) sports have play-offs. At the point you don't respond to this, all and any arguments you make are inherently flawed because you refuse to accept or even look at the norm in sports. By your stress of how perfect this computer is, I feel your just saying that computers no best. Why not just play the whole regular season on this computer and just send the schools their win/loss record for the season? Why even play a championship game if this computer is so smart….why not let it decide the champion? Luck- Ok, so I forgot. There is definitely more luck in winning an entire play-off then one game. I mean the Gaints winning the super bowl was a lot more of a Fluke then Flordia winning the national title. Wrong. Flordia went in with a raw 50-50 chance, where as the Gaints had only a 6.25% chance of emerging the champion. I guess it was just luck. Or skill. When a team is truly the best, they can come out on not just one night, but several, and beat their competion. No one said you have to excpect the best team to win. Look at the Arizona Cardnial (though they didn't win the super bowl) no one would have excpected they would be the 2nd best team in the NFL this year. But they proved they where. After a rough regular season they can into the Play-offs and did they're job. The Beat down team after team that was good before barely falling to the Steelers on a last second TD. Again, look at the NCAAB tournament, when a 2 seed gets beat by a 15 seed is the 15 seed suddenly that good of a team? Not when they usually get bounced in the next round. The truth in any one team can beat any other team on any given night. That's what a sport is. If one team ALWAYS win, or one team just CAN'T win that its no longer a sport: it a RIGGED game. Come on, even Fort Minor knows there's luck is sports: This is Ten percent luck, Twenty percent Skill, Fifteen percent Concentrated power and will, Five percent plesurem Fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! Seriously, if you are going to right of luck as a part of football then I think you should really just pick up math: that'll be the same every time. However, in football there are numerous variable factors: in the sporting world we call that luck. Ignore Bowl Game (Again)- Obviously, I'm not making myself clear here. If you want to host bowl games, fine host them. I don't care. However, these games would be SEPARATE from the play-off's. The teams in the play-offs would be playing in the play-offs not some useless bowl game. They would play in the play-off to determine who's the best, and the bowl games would just be like consolation. And if the ‘tradition' of the big bowls is so important. As I said, you could make the semi-finals like the Rose Bowl, or the Sugar Bowl or something just like Pro Sports have Confrence finals (Obviously, in college football the play-offs is after the conference championships). On the Attacks on my voters: 1)I <3 how a team that wins a play-off is so lucky ‘cause they killed their compation. Though, that could theoretically happen, its very unlikely and furthermore would prove the winning team was at least the toughest. 2)So some how, D-II, D-III, and Sub-Division schools (Including Ivy League school like Yale, and Havard) but not D-I???? I fail to see how all the other schools do but not D-I. And as I said, everyone somewhere is having finals at some point even during your precious bowl games and BCS games. Your argument holds no wait. 3)A) Simply economics: Cut the middle man, and get more profits. Also, the more games you have the more money for the school. If a team hosted 2 games they would obviously get more then playing in just one when they aren't even hosting it. The play-off system would all schools access to more money, plus it would allow smaller schools access to the big money unlike the current system which is tilted the the Big schools. B)If having the games over the New Years Holiday is that important then schedule the games then. Again I'm just bring about one solution for a play-off. And the scheduling, like all scheduling for any play-off ever, would have to be flexible and probably change over time. C) I <3 how you used Wiki as a source again, very credible 4) I still can't see how you computer is going to help these small teams, especially when teams like Hawaii two years ago, can't get any good schools to play them in the out of conference schedule but still go undefeated but don't get a chance. 5) Still the currently taking a month off is stupid On his voters: 1)This sounds familiar (Check Wiki). Obviously not an orginal voter, please see attacks on my 3rd voter. 2)The BCS is more accurate…..in what way? Accurate how? Your being kind of vague. If by accurate you mean, going after two big names schools to play against each other and throwing out small name schools. 3)Ok, so even a Play-off would have to compete with the NFL, and there is no way you can schedule all the games around mid-terms even now. Anyway, why can sub-division, D-II, and D-III do it? Ok, if anything this debate comes down to Luck vs. a Computer. OK. What I want to know is what makes this Computer so smart? How does it know? (Hint: Because is not an awnser) Also, How can you avoid the variable of Luck (which you say is bad) in any game played ever? (Hint: You can't) Furthermore, What is soooooo incredible bad about moving to a 16 team play-off over a 2 team national championship? And, (I really want to know this one) Why does College Football D-I get out of having a play-off when EVERY (As I've stressed in my earlier posts) other Division, Level, and Sport has play-offs? Again, I have three undefeated teams: Team A, Team B, and Team C. Which two teams get to play in your BCS title game, and which one sits at how? And to anyone out their still undecided on this topic: Just think about the NFL play-offs and how awsume those are, and then think about College Football and how awsume that is. What I'm saying is we should mesh the two. Resulting in the Ultiment Event in Sports. But who knows, maybe my oppent will get really LUCKY and win this debeat....oh the Irony in that.
