That's what I mean. It's cyclical. Thing is, even if someone else started getting those wins, and getting them even over 'Bama/Florida/LSU and start to suck up all the talent into their vaccum people would STILL make the argument that somehow SEC football is just better because it is so STFU!!! And the polls would be inclined (possibly financially, but that's just *wild speculation*) to agree.

The reality of college football for almost a decade now is that the SEC's best is better than everybody else's best. Now, the SEC also has its own "values" on certain things like recruiting, academics, etc. compared to old-school conferences like the Big 10. My issue is that people automatically assume a Tennessee, Mississippi State, or lower level schools is better than the top schools from the Big 12 or Pac 12. Oregon or OU would beat the shit out of Ole Miss or Vanderbilt. FFS, an average Texas team annihilated Ole Miss. However, the perception of this will not change until on the biggest stage the best of one of the other conferences can beat the best in the SEC consistently. PERIOD.

OU lost to UF 14-24, LSU 14-21 but people "remember them" as ass-whooping. People think Auburn beat the shit out of Oregon even though it was on a last second field goal. The divide isn't as big as people think, but until they start beating the SEC in the title game, that perception won't change.

The only time I felt like calling "bullshit" was when a 2-loss LSU got into the title game in against OSU. That was a crazy season though and there were like 5 two-loss teams. In the end, LSU and OSU were the only outright conference champions with 2 losses besides BYU that year. Hawaii had no business being in the BCS Championship game and proved it when they played Georgia.

For example, if Boise State has another run like they had in the past next year - I think they get in. The 4-team playoff will take care of a lot of those problems. I also think they will eventually expand to an 8-team playoff and stop it there. In the end, 8 teams is really all you need. The FCS, D2, and D3 playoff systems are clusterfucks and NCAA D1 needs to keep it much much simpler.

I'd like to see them do an 8-team playoff like this:

The 8 playoff teams are matched up based on normal seeding (1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc.) In some sort of contract, each conference selects a "home site" for if their conference team is the higher seed and plays host to another team. (Examples: Big XII - Cowboys Stadium, SEC - SuperDome, ACC - Sun Life Stadium, Big 10 - Lucas Oil Stadium, Pac 12 - Rose Bowl). The higher seed will be the "home team/host site" until the National Championship game which is bid out like the SuperBowl.


**Using the last BCS rankings for seeding

Round 1 (3 weeks before New Year's Day)

[1] Notre Dame vs [8] LSU {Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN}
[4] Oregon vs [5] Kansas State {Rose Bowl - Pasadena, CA}

[3] Florida vs [6] Stanford {SunLife Stadium, Miami, FL}
[2] Alabama vs [7] Georgia {SuperDome, New Orleans, LA}

National Championship Semi-Finals (2 weeks before New Years Day)

[8] LSU vs [4] Oregon {Rose Bowl - Pasadena, CA}
[2] Alabama vs [6] Stanford {Sugar Bowl - New Orleans, LA}

BCS National Championship Game (New Year's Day)
[2] Alabama vs [4] Oregon {SunLife Stadium - Miami, FL}

It gives you basically a week between the conference title games and the 1st round, a week between the 1st rd and 2nd rd, and 2 weeks to prep for the title game while giving a few days for kids to enjoy Christmas. You have all your who gives a shit bowls during the weeks without playoff games.

I've always liked this type of idea, although I'm sure each BCS confrence would want a rep on an auto bid. Only problem is how do you get your fans to potentially travel to three different states in a three or four week period?

Early ratings numbers were revealed and yesterday's game did better than last year's all-SEC game but was lower than 2 years ago (Auburn vs Oregon).

In terms of halves, the first half of ND-Bama did better than Auburn-Oregon but only because the 1st Q was really huge (started to drop in the 2nd Q) and then dropped off badly in the 2nd half.

If your team kicks ass, they don't travel as much. It is called incentive. Besides, does the NFL, the rest of NCAA football divisions, or friggin High Schools worry about that? No. It somewhat provides home field advantage without actually giving home field advantage.

NFL - unless you are the Jaguars, you sell out most every home game, and you sure as hell sell out for the playoffs. No travel involved except for the Super Bowl

The idea of "hosting" a game closer to your school and/or fanbase is good. The problem is that wont always work. How was the attendance for the B1G championship in Indy this year? Shit. And those are supposed to be not one, but two teams from the area.

In your example above, can you imagine LSU fans going to Indy, Pasadena, then Miami? Thats alot to ask from a fan base. I'm not talking about "well they had a chance to "host" like everyone else," I'm saying that fewer tix get sold which no one wants to happen, especially the schools who are usually tasked with selling 10,000 tix themselves.

They won't do home field because the big bowls would lose their cut of the pie.

Yeah, I think it would be foolish if Kelly jumped to the NFL. Stay at ND.

Can you imagine if he had won the Heisman?

This would've been 10 times better than it already is.

Haha wut?

So why is Te'o himself saying she wasn't?

This reminds me of the Fresh Prince episode where Will lied about having an apartment and told Carlton about his secret and made him promise he wouldn't say anything.

But when Will decided to come clean to Uncle Phil, Carlton didn't pick up on it and kept going on with the lie.

Reagan Mauia is diving very deep into this.
“This was before her and Manti,” Mauia said Wednesday evening. “I don’t think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was — I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa.”

Mauia said Tuiasosopo — whom Mauia believes is Kekua’s cousin — introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an “after-party” for all of the athletes involved in the camp.

“She was tall,” he said. “Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model … ”

He said it is his understanding that Kekua’s mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he’d never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said “No, she is real.”

------------------------------------
"Nah, man. She's real, yo".

This is all some bullshit Manti T'eo came up with to help with his Heisman push. I wouldn't be all that surprised if Notre Dame knew long before they said they did and didn't do anything about it just to help them get publicity.

Believe more in the idea of he was actually hoaxed to a large degree and ND didn't want to release them being hoaxed because they didn't want the ridicule and distractions going into the title game.

Think Teo probably knew privately once ND told him or around the same time and either they told him to hush up till after the title game or he didn't want that ridicule either.

The hoax seems pretty complex for him to have done it by himself or last that long before it was exposed or fell apart.
