It still amazes me that who gets into the playoffs are still decided by polls, and guys sitting in cigar smoke filled rooms. Also the fact that not everyone plays the same amount of games which hurts some teams, and helps others.

With so many teams and conferences of varying strength, it's hard to have a system that is totally objective.Originally Posted by Old Red
If you go by some computer generated formula, somebody creates that formula.
When the playoffs are expanded, it will help- as most of the very best teams will make the playoffs, but there will always be debate about the one or two teams that just missed out.
This way is better than the old polls, where sometimes there were two seperate #1's.

Well, my domers pulled it out.
Big games, tonight: Mich v TCU and GA vs Ohio St.
My only hope at winning my bowl pool is for USC and Penn St to win. Even then, I think I can just place second.
(I went with So. Carolina over ND!)

Awesome GA-OSU game and TCU-Mich was a pretty good one, too.

Easy tune up for the Golden Domers.
Encouraging QB play.
That is the key.

Agree, and it’s key that he stays healthy, because there is not much behind him. ND has had trouble recruiting a good QB lately, and have had to go outside 2 out of the last 3 years.
You'd think with a more rigorous academic admissions policy than most top teams, we'd suffer in the area of line players, not the brain-orientated QB position, right?

Agree, and I just don’t get, or remember ND having this much trouble getting a good QB. I don’t think Book was expected to take over, and play as much as he did either, and he did quite well.
I was lucky. In my freshman year Joe Montana led us to a championship vs #1 Texas, led by Earl Campbell. What many don't know is that our dufus coach, Dan Devine, had Joe as the 3rd string QB. It took a flop in game one and an injury in game 2 to get Joe to start, and the rest is history.
