I'd just like to get your views on the controversial BCS system. Not that I profess to know much but I think the system is sh*te.

Better than letting the writers choose in my opinion... and with the money involved there will never be a play-off system.

Fair dues. So there's more money to be made this way rather than having a playoff system?

Shame cos I liked the old system anyhow.

there's going to be a playoff system, just give it time. congress keeps wanting to get involved. they'll figure out a way to make it more lucrative than the BCS. they'll keep the bowls, and make them all "playoff games". it would probably only be make 4-6 teams max, but it'll happen.

Which begs the question... WHAT THE F*CK is congress doing getting involved!?!?!?

God damn that pisses me off more than you could possibly imagine. The government has absolutely no right what-so-ever to influence this at all. Government intrusions into my life are really reaching the tipping point.

And the only way congress will figure out to make it more lucrative than the bowl system is to take more of my money and give it to them, that's all the government does.

Going back to the BCS question - surely having the top 2 teams from each Conference and having a series of play-offs would be as lucrative?

Sponsorship money and the schools get massive amounts of it when they are invited to the big bowl games... What are the early round bowl going to be worth? and what happens to all the schools that then miss out on any post-season games? They lose out on all the money they used to get from the "smaller" bowl games.

I honestly kind of like the way the system is now because of the controversy. Every year there is the endless debate about this team and that team and the what-ifs if they were to play... I don't want it to be set up just like every other spot out there, the uniqueness is part of the appeal of college football.

Another thing, the way it is now EVERY game is important. If you lose you're out of the national championship race. I don't want a situation like this year in the MLS where a team that was .500 over the regular season wins the title.

Tennessee, Auburn and Clemson. Tennessee lost, Auburn won and not too sure about Clemson, but I think they lost too. Bad season for me. But Alabama's gonna win the national championship so it's all good. Go SEC!!
DRINK AND BE MERRY!!

And it's Arsenal! Arsenal FC! We're by far the BEST TEAM the world has EVER SEEN!
