A very odd announcement came out today from the Big 12 and the SEC. Starting in 2014, the year the current BCS system ends and the four team playoff begins, the two conferences have agreed to pit their conference champions against each other in a New Years Bowl. Basically the same arrangement the Pac-12 and [...]

I know we have all been focused on the demise of the BCS, and rightfully so, but it has been an eventful week in college football. First we heard about the end of the BCS and the dawn of a playoff in college football. Then we had the NFL draft. Now we hear there is [...]

ESPN is reporting his new proposal, one that might look familiar to you loyal readers. Yup, Delaney just proposed that team selection in the four team playoff would [...]

HOPEFULLY MY JOY AND EXCITEMENT IS BEING FULLY EXPRESSED IN ALL CAPS. Ok that’s annoying to read. But my proper use of capitalization should in no way detract from my exuberance. NBC Sports is reporting that the BCS has officially recommended a four team playoff, or event, or whatever you want to call it. Starting [...]

ESPN recently published an article by Ivan Maisel explaining why change is coming to the BCS. I agree with him completely. I mean, just 4-5 years ago when anyone brought up a playoff or a plus-one or anything like that to the BCS they got laughed at. Now conference commissioners are bringing it up and [...]

In spite of the fact that the BCS remains incredibly unpopular, no one seems to be in a rush to change anything, according to ESPN. They had a big meeting yesterday, will meet again in March and one more time in April. You would think that Athletic Directors and Commissioners alike would learn something about [...]

The Big East is finally done expanding. Took them long enough. Memphis is the newest team to be added in all sports beginning in 2013. Good move for the Big East, much better than San Diego State who only got the invite because they were so desperate to bring in Boise State. But at any [...]

Well I’ve been out promoting my playoff proposal and had yet to find anyone who proposed anything close until today. Herb Gould at the Sun Times gave this great playoff proposal and it is right in line with what I have been saying. An 8 team playoff is the way to go. It’s the only [...]
