I will never follow FCS football until they have a sensible playoff system. People always say that the Utahs and Boise States and TCUs of the world wouldn't have a chance in the playoffs. But that's the whole point of a playoff . . . to give teams a chance to lose. It's unacceptable that a team can go undefeated through an entire season and postseason and not be crowned champion. It's unprecedented in any sport anywhere on earth.

True.

But at the same time, when you compare the strength of schedules to an undefeated TCU/Boise State to a 1 loss Big 10, Pac 10, SEC, ACC or other big conference school, it's really hard to fit TCU/Boise State in the National Championship game.

The problem with the current system is no big conference will schedule TCU, Boise State, etc... For reasons unexplained. Then the same big school complain that the little undefeated schools play no tough schedule.. It's a double standard in that aspect. If they evened out the scheduling of schools, the BCS would work WAY better, IMO.

Not to downplay the fact that a playoff system would be better.. I just think it was better before the BCS, and would like it that way more than anything else.

The reason that these seemingly sensible and obvious decisions (fairer schedules, playoff systems, etc.,) don't come to fruition are because of the politics of the NCAA. There are so many hidden components (boosters, coaches, presidents, deans, etc.,) that a restructuring of the system would be costly. Smaller schools would have to pay money they don't have while larger schools would lose a lot of the money that they normally receive. And in the end we all know it's about money.

Strength of schedule is irrelevant. As I said, the whole point of a playoff is to give teams a chance to lose. If they lose, fine -- they are proven to be pretenders. If they win out, they are crowned champions. It's how every single sport in the world except FCS football works.

Well, FCS and the NCAA D1 football works. Before the BCS, they had a system in place that pit ranked teams against each other in bowl games.

The big difference now, IMO? The Bowl games back then meant more.. Especially New Years Day games.

I sort of wish they would have had this stupid BCS thing when I was in my twenties. Then I could have really celebrated the New Years until the wee hours and not worried about waking up for the Rose Bowl or whatever.

But now that I could care less about the games, I'm too effin old to drink and party that way any more.

Martha Careful (6h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (8h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
