Wonderful, and App gets to play them this season. Right before the playoffs.Skjellyfetti wrote:I've done this the last couple of years. LSU won the 2011 poll. Alabama won the 2012 poll.
Everyone's probably going to pick Bama this year... and, rightfully so. But, I'm going with Georgia.

I don't think that's what it would have been. You need to have FSU, Louisville and maybe even NIU in there because of conference championships and rules that got those three teams in BCS games to begin with. Either way, ATM would not have been in.BDKJMU wrote:Nope.

#1 ND vs #4 Oregon
#2 Bama vs #3 Florida
If it was an 8 team playoff:
#1 ND vs #8 LSU
#2 Alabama vs #7 UGA
#3 Florida vs #6 Stanford
#4 Oregon vs # 5 Kansas State (which is what we had in the Fiesta Bowl)
Tex A&M was #9.....

When the 4 team playoffs start it will be the top 4 in the BCS standings, regardless of conference.89Hen wrote:I don't think that's what it would have been.

I could be wrong, but I thought the four teams would be chosen by a committee similar to basketball, FCS football, etc.BDKJMU wrote: When the 4 team playoffs start it will be the top 4 in the BCS standings, regardless of conference.
So when it eventually expands to 8, then its natural to assume would be the top 8 in the BCS standings....
The mock selection committee ultimately comes up with the same matchups as 1-4 in the BCS would come up with, but that's not necessarily how it would work.Just as notably, they also agreed to move away from the polls and computer ratings currently used to determine the nation's No. 1 and 2 teams in favor of a basketball-style selection committee comprised of college administrators. That committee will decide the fate of teams' national championship hopes as well as their share of an annual $610 million ESPN contract announced last week. "It will be one of the most prestigious assignments in sports, and one of the most scrutinized," Bill Hancock, executive director of the new postseason system, said this summer. "And the members will need to understand what they're getting into."
For a glimpse into the vexing challenges the committee will face, SI enlisted 11 athletic directors representing each FBS conference and the independents. (The lineup originally included four conference commissioners or executives, much like the basketball committee, but following a Nov. 12 BCS meeting in which our project was discussed, all reluctantly pulled out.) Former NCAA executive Greg Shaheen, who for the past 12 years served as the lead facilitator for the men's basketball selection committee, spearheaded the exercise for SI. He compiled detailed fact sheets on each team, established voting protocol and nimbly moderated the selection process.

The real national championship is on the first weekend of January in Frisco, TX.
Neither are Georgia St and Louisiana Monroe,Ohio St.SuperHornet wrote:Um, Oregon's not in the SEC. Some numbnutz around here seem to have the idea that only SEC teams are eligible. Unfortunately, they seem to have some recent history on their side. Another reason why this "championship" is bogus....
