Talk:Bowl Championship Series controversies

message: The BCS has two main problems; Fans of college football want a playoff where every Division I team has a shot at the National Championsip atthe begining of the year. BCS supporters want to keep the college football bowl series fair for conferences and teams that bring in much of the revenue that has made college football one of the most succefully profitable franchises.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.207.253.101 (talk) 21:12, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  BCS Playoff Solution 

message: Updated as of 1-10-09
The summary has been improved, and is now well-sourced. The tone is now more neutral and sourced with credible, independent, third party citations (see Quinnipiac University reference, etc.). BCSPro's discussion contained informal language and slang, and his revert contained no justification. Unsourced personal summaries are subject to removal as per basic Wikipedia guidelines. Aside from the obvious unencyclopedic language, BCSPro is a passion advocate of the current system, which is a minority opinion by 2.5 times. Caution about his objectivity should be exercised, again aside from the obvious blurby, informal, promotionalese language used in his summary.Obamafan70 (talk) 06:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  2002-2003 

message: Does the Reggie Bush case belong on here? The controversy is in the case itself. It's not really a BCS controversy relating to selection of teams. Bbigjohnson (talk) 23:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  2004-2005 

message: This section needs to be reworked.  Utah (#6) wasn't just selected over Boise State, they got an automatic at-large slot, for being ranked in the top 8 (they were #6, I believe).  Under the rules, if the conference champion from a non-BCS conference and you're ranked in the top 8 (or top 12 and ranked higher than a BCS conference champion), it's an automatic slot.  However, if there is more than one team, the automatic slot goes to the highest ranked team.  So, while Boise State was technically eligible, because Utah was ranked higher, they got the slot.  TCU wasn't eligible, because they didn't win the Mountain West. Dunstvangeet (talk) 16:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  2008-2009 

message: Why is there no mention of why TX and AL were chosen over any of the other 3? I think to leave out their opponents records is being disingenuous and is allowing for a non-neutral point of view to affect the credibility of the article.
Opponents records:
Alabama: 89-68
Texas: 84-75
TCU: 75-74
Boise: 71-88
Cincy: 72-75

message: fixed a statement about TCU's opponents' record in the 2010 season, and cited to schedule (with records linked through) Jones629 (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: TCU

message: Can we add the fact, now, that despite the claim that "Every game counts", the SEC is heavily weighted (due almost entirely to the poll system) to be ranked higher than any other conference teams? The fact that Oklahoma State had a generally stronger schedule and an equal final record (despite a "worse" loss) should have made them ranked higher than Alabama. This isn't just a computer problem, this is a voter problem, too. It's also worth noting that OSU-phile T. Boone Pickens is going to raise a holy ruckus about this, making it a developing situation as well...

thread_title:  2011/2012 Season 

message: I feel as though the page would be better if BCS was actually spelled out in the title. Right now, the acronym is very ambiguous for anyone unfamiliar with college football. --Kevin W./Talk•CFB uniforms/Talk 20:09, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
