THEY ALL FALL DOWN

And they melt down, too – who knew Ron Zook was a Kubrick fan?


The Bowl Championship Series, everybody! Isn't it great?

How do you beat Tressel Ball? Out-Tressel it – Illinois (Illinois!) ran for 260 and gave Ohio State three possessions in the second half.

How do you blow up a system? Just play the games, man.

Think that Oregon wins out and gets one spot, LSU is the other spot (but may lose to Tennessee) and that USC/Mich (or OSU) will be the Rose Bowl.

A couple of things:

  1. No way should an undefeated Kansas get left out. No way. They will beat two top ten teams and they will be the only undefeated BCS team.
  2. But it is totally unfair to Oregon if they get left out too. Especially after 2001.
  3. I'm sure this will all work itself out and no one will win out, except Oregon.  
  4. A michigan/usc rose bowl rematch will be terrible.
  5. a 4-team playoff would be great but an 8-team playoff would be the stone cold nuts.

8
I too am a big fan of the 8 team playoff idea, so at this point I'm rooting for LSU, Oregon, Kansas, Ohio State, and West Virginia to win out, leaving no good way to differentiate between them all. OU winning out would be acceptable too, although the undefeated non-traditional football school to screw with the traditionalists' heads would be priceless.

8 team playoff would be the shitz.
but what about a 12 team playoff with byes?

gives more incentive to get to the top, although it also promotes the arbitration of voters to decide who gets a bye.

i would also love a 16 team playoff, but that might get too crazy, and it would be impossible to get team presidents to go for that...

Oregon
In my opinion, Oregon would probably be the one left out of a Kansas/LSU/Oregon situation for two reasons.
  1. Oregon has played their big games already. They have nothing big left, white LSU still has an SEC-CG, where they may play Georgia (With some help from Tennessee...) and Kansas still has TWO huge games left to help them move up.
  2. There has never been an unbeaten BCS team left out in favor of a 1-loss BCS team. When Auburn got the shaft, they were playing in the wrong year, with both USC and OU also going unbeaten. This means all signs point to Kansas jumping someone. And that someone is going to be the team at two.
Sorry Oregon.

A painfully excellent allegory
You even got the colors mostly right: Tressel's scarlet & gray HAL persona, the Illini's orange echoed in Bowman's spacesuit.  As bad as yesterday hurts to a fan, I can at least take some aesthetic pleasure in the game's fitting in the broader culture.
