[QUOTE="FrogJAM, post: 726804, member: 6438"] 1) I addressed the whole BCS ranking thing to start with. Please, if you're going to try and tear my argument apart, use all the information provided as opposed to one sentence. Gracias. though I'll give you this ... I should have said AT BEST. not at the least. My apologies there. 2) You're looking at this in the exact manner in which the author begs you not to. You are correct this system isn't about fairness. But like the author stated, it's about getting the ball rolling. You're not going to get a 16-team playoff over night. You're going to have to back your way into it. In this instance, suffice doesn't mean this the best course of action that makes perfect sense. It means that it could be sufficient in at least getting the heads of the BCS beast to budge. It's obtaining an outcome that CAN be obtained. We're basically trying to trick them into a playoff system. Unfortunately, most options people provide aren't even obtainable. This one can at least be done, and would suffice for the time being as a playoff. Until a better option is eventually developed. 3) And as far as the travel goes, that's a terrible argument. It would happen that way in practically every playoff circumstance. So, unless your argument is against playoffs in general (for which this would be a good little argument to include), then this kinda falls flat. [/QUOTE]
