| NCAA needs a playoff system Every year the BCS gives the number one team and number two team the chance to win the national championship while, they basically give everyone else who worked equally as hard and has the same record or even a better record a consulation bowl game. How big was Boise State's win over Oklahoma in the Fietsa Bowl? The one thing about Boise States win that no one else talks about is the fact if Oklahoma wasn't jobbed out of the Oregon game earlier this year the Sooners would have been in the BCS title game and not Flordia. It kind of makes you think... maybe just maybe Boise State could have been the best team in the nation this past season. I just wish the Sponsers and School Admins would stop being money hungry and give the players the chances they deserve.
Here is a brief summary of the 2004 Division II playoff series. The Division II playoffs consists of 16 teams consisting of the top two teams from each conference to battle it out to prove WHO is the actual champions. Anyway, the opening game of the regualr season was between Albany State and Valdosta State(Both teams from South Georgia) in the game Albany State dominated and blew Valdosta State off the field. The two teams won the conferences and was set up for a rematch in the second round of the playoffs. I was at the second game and VSU fell down 24-0 at half time but, came back out in one of the best combacks I have ever seen to win the game. The next week Valdosta State played Pittsberg state(Out of Kansas) who was ranked number one in the national and had broken scoreing records so, they were clearly the favorite to win the national championship. As a matter of fact if I remember correctly they were favored by two touchdowns. Valdosta State was the team celebrating in Alabama(where the DII title game is held every year) over the supposed number one team in the Division. Anyway, what I am trying to say is before the playoffs began VSU was No. 5, ASU was No. 2, and Pittsberg State was No. 1. So the best teams in the nation are not always number one and number two. |
