Comments about ‘Presidents approve college football playoff; BCS to end in 2014’

@chewbacca

Wrong. Only one of those is a 2 for 1. Notre Dame. Just because you say something it doesn't suddenly become the truth. Try to say the actualy truth.

BlueCoug. Its no game.
Washington is not a WAC team. We have a losing record agains a WAC team in San Jose St. That is fact.

Will my fellow BYU fans ever figure out that joining the PAC is more than just about sports? Utah joined for academic reasons as well.

We have our own problems getting to a title game. Who cares what Utah does.

BluCoug:

"BYU hasn't played an opponent at that level of ineptitude since the leather helmet era"
Yeah, last year the cougs quickly scheduled Idaho State, which was coming off a 1-10 season the year before. Way to schedule UP!

"after the way Utah performed against #107 Colorado last season, anything's possible"
Yeah, that egg was almost as big as the one the cougs laid in 2010 against Utah State (#114). Funny you should mention Sagarin--the y's flossy 10-3 record last year REALLY impressed his computers all the way down to #34 (not at a phony #25, hah!), the lowest D-1 school w/ double-digit wins--and just 5 above the team that lost its starting QB after curb-stomping yours by 44.

"didn't Utah play Weber State just a couple of years ago?"
And got endless amounts of grief from blue fans like you. What, you have amnesia now?

"Come 2014, the BCS is dead.

A committee of university presidents on Tuesday approved the BCS commissioners' plan for a four-team playoff to start in two years."

Shouldn't that say "The Big East and ACC are dead" since the four-team playoff will be between the SEC, Big 10, PAC-12, and between the Big 12 or Notre Dame?

Canyontreker wonders "Shouldn't that say "The Big East and ACC are dead" since the four-team playoff will be between the SEC, Big 10, PAC-12, and between the Big 12 or Notre Dame?"

Notre Dame has been a BCS non-factor. In 14 years, they've never placed higher than 6th in the BCS poll (just like Utah, which did it twice).

But... its not about rankings. The big flaw in the polls is that teams move up because someone ahead of them lost. The selection committee is tasked with picking the 4 best teams, not the 4 highest ranked teams. Who knows what that means. Best might mean "playing the best football", or best might mean "team that will give a great TV rating". Notre Dame could qualify on TV beauty, while on-field they continue to be ugly.

@BlueCoug
Northern Colorado was WINLESS and was rated #207 by Sagarin.

BYU hasn't played an opponent at that level of ineptitude since the leather helmet era.

Actually you played a "winless" UTEP team in 1985 and you lost...

Texas-El Paso (1-10) 23
BYU (11-3) 16

We should drop the misnomer "student-athlete", and change it to "alumni-proxi", or maybe "gladiator-intern". No one seems to give the need of the students a second, momentary thought.
