Look at the computer rankings....I did not know you could buy computers at the Dollar Store, but apparently you can.

The BCS committee has so prostituted the computer guys that they are a joke and they almost have no meaning.

Oregon will move ahead in the computers to #2 as their SOS builds...they play three currently ranked teams in the future.

But I think it is all moot.

People have been wanting an Oregon-Alabama match up for the past several years and the voters will keep them #1 and #2 until either stumbles.

FSU might be one of the best teams in the country...but will not play for it all as long as Oregon and Alabama are undefeated.

That is probaby right. The Noles sure looked good Saturday though. I had a buddy win some kind of AT&T contest for gameday and the flew him to the game, meet the gameday crew, and watch the game in a luxury box that night. He likes the Noles, so it was a cool game for him to win the trip.

There was a huge build up about Clemson...

The raucous home crowd setting a world stadium noise record, the team touching "the Rock" and charging down the hill.

FSU instituted the Indiana Jones game plan....let the opponent come out with pomp and menace, twirling the big sword, then just draw your gun and end it.

Playing Florida isn't going to help FSU's schedule. They are terrible; their offense is perhaps even worse than Auburn's at the time of their eternally epic 3-2 shootout with Miss St. in 2008

Playing Miami will help FSU...the Canes should be in Top 10 of BCS.

I think having a four-way playoff, will be better than the current two-way playoff. I also think that it should be 8 teams, and it probably will wind up there.

I realize we have some here that feel a playoff will ruin college football, but we already have a playoff and I don't feel that it has ruined the sport. Now comes the first step to expansion of the system. We will just have to see how it plays out.

We do have a playoff yes; and it's called the regular season.
Unfortunately, the paradigm is too vast to include everyone.

Adding more games only gives someone a second chance, who likely shouldn't receiver one.
Adding even more games, is plausibly going to give someone a third chance.

Ok, then the following should be eliminated: World Series, Stanley Cup, Super Bowl, NCAA March Madness, NBA Championship etc.
