RMCIII 838 #826 Posted December 7, 2014 Bob - I agree. The system is in it's first year of development. I would expect the NCAA, voters, polls, ect. to add additional teams for possibly 2016 season while dropping 2 pre-season games. This would then still have the same length of season they have now without cutting into NFL any deeper. The other issue that is staring the committee right in the face is what is happening in the Big 12. We all know that conference has a clasue that can have Co-champions.... Reality - there needs to be at least 8 teams in for the 2016 season, or you revise the system, take the top 16 teams and call it a day. That would add 1 more game, which would be the Championship game. I do not see it happening for 2015 because of the games that are already set. I do see them shifiting things around for 2016 though.

Brrly1 1,146 #827 Posted December 7, 2014 My thoughts are Alabama, Oregon, Florida State (sad but true, not impressed with QB actions off field), Ohio State yes No TCU why look at there schedule and who did they play ISU which only has two wins all season with No conference wins. So they blew them out, big whoppy. Ohio State took the #2 defense and ran right thru them along with some exceptional passing it was like WoW they woke up and came to life. Thats happened a few times this year good teams just having a bad day. It happens to everyone not just Iowa (hint, hint). I agree they should expand to eight teams it would probably make things easier. As far as downsizing schedule I don't believe that should happen. Sorry if the NFL losses money they won't even be there if it wasn't for these kids. Doesn't hurt my feelings to watch college ball long before I watch a pro game which I do anyway. Maybe, just maybe, Iowa can do this one year I remember the 80's they were awesome!!! As always, Go Hawkeyes!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,231 #831 Posted December 7, 2014 I would imagine it is like being a Cubs fan. Do you want your monkeys back?? My TV and Internet was out all day yesterday...did not get to watch any of the games...hope they will replay the game sometime this week...I couldn't even find the game on the radio. what a bummer. I had a feeling what was happening, because of all these monkeys showing up all evening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #836 Posted December 7, 2014 Bo-yah! Can they do it? Man, an entire 25 days until all 4 meet up again. That is a long time to be idle without playing another team. Rob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,947 #837 Posted December 7, 2014 If they had an 8 team playoff the could have played every 2 weeks and maybe some upsets to really make it interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob It's also a long time for Alabama to rust and the Buckeyes to prepare Cardale Jones to play his best again and shock them like Wisconsin. Well, great in theory anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
