Phenom,

You mentioned you go to many games, but are you an alumni of Auburn (or another BCS school)?

Others,

Any arguments about fan interest are hogwash. Even Tuberville knows that. When you add up all the bowls you get way more money than if you had a playoff. That'll be my only response to those arguments.

College basketball travel analogies are also irrelevant. They seat 10,000/game in the early rounds of the March Mess. Many bowl games seat over 60,000 every year.

The weak conference argument doesn't hold water, either. Teams in strong conferences tend to play patsies so it ends up evening out. Check out Auburn's non-conference schedule: WSU, Ark St., Tulane and Buffalo. That's almost as bad as their non-conference schedule the year they finished 2nd. If they really wanted a shot at the strap they'd play somebody.

Lastly, to the point of Tuberville, "thinking about the well being of his team," that made me laugh out loud. Rip the worthless SEC championship game (played at or near semester exam time for many schools) if you are concerned about the well-being of your team. Don't tell me your team needs to play more games in January.

Yes, I am an alumni of Auburn.

Tuberville is using his status to campaign for a playoff system, a much needed addition to college football. The only reason anyone would criticize a playoff system is if their team is currently thriving under the current BCS system by skating through a weak conference, playing one or two big-name pretenders (i.e. Notre Dame, Nebraska), and only having to win one game to claim a NC.

Someone like...USC maybe?

:mj07: Your hatred for ND and USC is comical... If Auburn takes care of business this year they will be fine. I would love to see Ohio St. blast Auburn in the NC.

Dirty, I don't hate USC or Notre Dame.

I hate USC and Notre Dame fans. There is a big difference.

Notre Dame is a pretender.

I want you to know that I really enjoyed watching Michigan embarass your fighting leprechauns in your own stadium.

Peace.

SEC fans are a real treat. I enjoyed watching an average Wisconsin team absolutely smack another overated SEC team in the mouth last year.

Auburn doesn't play one tough road game all year. Tuberville should just keep his pie hole shut.

PRETENDER

Brady Quinn...heisman flop

Jeff Smarjialedk...Jeff who?

Army, Navy, Air Force...tough games at home or on the road

Another year, another bowl loss for college football's ms. congeniality, Notre Domer.

Maybe time to start looking to next year and another pretender ranking, another overhyped QB, a defense that looks like swiss cheese, and a fan base that lives a life of delusion.

Bunch of red-headed Irish fire crotches!!!!

:mj07:

Brady Quinn - Top 5 pick
Jeff Smardizja - Top 15 pick

I think those two will be just fine!

Just like all of the preseason hype of the SEC they will get smacked around in the bowl games like usual.

Ask Tennessee how tough Air Force is... Our coach doesn't have to whine about the BCS, because ND sells...Auburn doesn't...

ND/USC record against the SEC the last five years:

8-1

While I think there should be a playoff, I wouldnt mind seeing Tuberville hosed again since he is the big cheese on the rules committee that came up with these stupid clock rules. When asked why, he cited "player safety - tv played no role." SO he is a liar too.

I guess the Domers are the experts on getting smacked around in bowl games. You guys haven't won one since'94.

The SEC's bowl record is the best in all the land, and you can look that one up.

Hey clowns, stop hijacking my thread with Heisman/ND/Big Ten/SEC arguments.

redsfann, I'm not even gonna comment on that one. You've said long ago that you disagree and that's fine. No need to take potshots, though.

Whoever made the point about a playoff generating more money could be right, but I find that dubious. How on earth can 7 games match the revs of 28?

Also, to the accusation that I only say this because I am a USC alumni, that's junk. USC has no chance to win an NCAA basketball title any time soon and I've ripped that system for allowing in minnows as well.

I hate rewarding mediocrity and I love school spirit. The bowls are a great way to satisfy both. Schools that have mediocre seasons still get to celebrate with their fans in Orlando before their get their asses kicked by Wisconsin and schools that show excellence throughout the season get to lose an all-time classic game because the damn coach decided that weak-side pressure on 4th and 6 was a good idea against a scrambling quarterback. It's a win-win for all involved.

Another useless diatribe blows up in your face................

I may put you on ignore, only because your posts are so ignorant and show such utter stupidity. Then again, I do enjoy comedy so I think I'll just try to read less of them.

Kniefl, this is always my dilemma. I have yet to find someone who is worth me figuring out how to ignore them, but there are a few that are reallll close.

you stop being a complete tool all the time, Nick, and I'll stop taking 'potshots' at you...

At the end of the last 4 college football seasons, the Iowa Hawkeyes have played a bowl game in Florida. While the season is only half over, its not a huge stretch to predict the Hawkeyes will finish the regular season at 10-2 at which point they will be invited to play in their 5th consecutive bowl game in Florida. Lose two or more games, and its 'hello, Orlando' on December 27th or whatever date the Champs Sports bowl is played on.
Maybe if Iowa is 10-2 they play in a BCS game in Arizona, but the most likely scenario is another New Years Day game in Florida. Yawn. Big phukin' deal. I'd much rather see Iowa play the 1st week of December, either at Kinnick or someone else's HOME stadium in a playoff game rather than play another meaningless bowl game in Florida or Arizona.

I disagree.

Floyd is doing an awesome job at USC and if OJ MAYO comes to USC next year (maybe bringing a recruit with him), USC will def. compete. He is like having a KOBE BRYANT on your team. Carmello Anthony won title at Syracuse. Mayo will have USC competing. Basketball program is def. on the rise and recruiting is going very well with the new arena being built and Floyd being coach. Many are saying he is like another Pete Carroll.

I remember ex USC head football coach Larry Smith saying you can't win it all at USC. Expectations are too high. :142smilie
