At long last the BCS is dead!

[Mott the Hoople]

Ding Dong the BCS is dead.
Which CS? The BCS!
Ding Dong the BCS is dead!

Wake up Brent and Kirk,
We don't care what you said.
Wake up the BCS is dead!

It's gone with the ratings low
so low, so low, so low, yo-ho
lets open up and ring, and sing
a real championship this brings!

Ding Dong the Merry Oh,
Sing it high, sing it low and let them know.
Ding Dong the BCS is dead!

 

[Minister of Truth]

I'd really like to know what you're smoking, after that disaster last night...

Dude I didn't make it past the first half before I turned off the TV in disgust. I'm just glad this is the last BCS Faux Championship Game.

 

[Minister of Truth]

Has there actually been any news of this, or are you just venting?

You haven't been paying attention have you? Next year we have the 4 team playoff.

 

[Minister of Truth]

Oh, that's nice!

I agree. Oregon would've made a much more interesting game.

Much!

A toast

I thought the playoffs started at the end of the 2014 season.

Then you weren't watching the last time they played an SEC team...

Ohio State would have given us an excellent game. Stanford would have given us an excellent game. Oregon would have been better than ND, but they wouldn't have won.

 

[Minister of Truth]

We beat Stanford. Stanford beat Oregon. Etc. I will give you OSU, because they looked good this year.

They do, but don't tell Mott. Let him get a few bets down on OSU making the playoffs, then we'll spring it on him!

 

[Minister of Truth]

So, do the AP/BCS top 6-8 enter, or is their a different selector process?

 

[The Dude]

A committee selects teams

 

[Minister of Truth]

Fuck committees! Sounds like fun.

 

[Minister of Truth]

They should take the top teams from the PAC, SEC, ACC, BIG 10, BIG 12, BIG EAST, and two committee selected in the top 10.

So, do the AP/BCS top 6-8 enter, or is their a different selector process?

It's called "plus one" because it essentially adds one more game. My understanding of how it will work, a committee will determine the top 4 teams, who still play each other in two bowl games, as we normally do the BCS bowls now, with the two 'premiere' bowls rotating out each year. The winners of these two bowls will play an extra game, after the bowls, which will be the championship game.

What is a little fuzzy is how the process will work with selection. If it had been this year, going by the BCS rankings, Notre Dame would have played Florida and Alabama would have played Oregon, the winners would have met for the Championship, which means there could have still been an SEC vs. SEC matchup for the title. It's possible that a committee might have re-arranged the teams, so as to prevent such a thing from happening.
