In some years they will all be teams with 2 losses.<br /><br />If we accept that there would be some sort of selection committee for those 5 spots, then I think strength of schedule and who you've played will be that much more important.<br /><br />Suddenly, teams like Oklahoma State (just missed the cut this year if there was a playoff) would look at themselves and say, "we're probably better off if we're not scheduling Washington State, Troy, Tulsa and Lafayette out of conference."<br /><br />I really think building a resume is going to mean more if there was a playoff. Okie State can schedule a two or three medium/tough OOC games, still have the ability to win their conference regardless, and if they don't win the Big 12, at least they can show their worth with a two or three quality wins.<br /><br />I don't think we'd see a huge upspike in big games (Texas vs. Ohio State, etc.) but I firmly believe teams will start scheduling more BCS teams and getting away from the "we can't lose 1 game!!!" mentality.rocket89noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-45576908696798786472010-12-22T08:47:08.831-08:002010-12-22T08:47:08.831-08:00Way to post anonymously and then write your name a...Way to post anonymously and then write your name at the end ya douche.<br /><br />I say they should do a 16 team Booze Olympics. (why are there never booze olympics. beer gets too much credit. there should be liquor because liqour is sad and feels left out.) I'll take a team of Ohio State, Ohio bred, lineman over any other line in the country. Maybe a couple thick-necked LB's thrown in for good measure. Or punters. Finally the chubby punter can justify his position on the team. We all know the South can't drink for shit. North would dominate. Hold the event in Detroit or some other cold depressing town.Lord of Shotsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-3989026806404967642010-12-22T08:31:51.153-08:002010-12-22T08:31:51.153-08:00home field advantage should go to the oldest coach...home field advantage should go to the oldest coach - Bill<br /><br />ps.
