If BYU were like UCF, would you support the "National Champions" cause?

Yes, partially because it would make Utah fans apoplectic

No, because A) there's a system in place addressing the NC, and B), it would che

Nope, but I would campaign for 8 team playoff.

No. But I would be ticked we weren't getting ranked higher through the season

You never rest do you? I for one think Iowa should have made it.

tell alabama to come play Iowa in Iowa. See what they decide.

I'm sure they would be shaking in their boots. Not every program can be a power

why you gotta hate on Purdue like that? They had Drew Brees. I played against

If perennial Big Ten power Minnesota is afraid of Iowa City, than Bama should be

check their nonconf schedule and ask yourself if that's the best they can do

The Shazad

Maybe not. But they did have a game cancelled

One problem with that argument is that it has nothing to do with the team

Colorado

blame goes to their AD

The Shazad

1/17/18 3:06pm

It's totally irrelevant. They could play a much better non-conference schedule

Colorado

1/17/18 4:37pm

Strength of schedule combined with your record certainly matters

The Shazad

1/17/18 4:48pm

Lol. Tough non-conference schedule? Maybe if they played Alabama, Ohio State

Colorado

The Shazad

Colorado

Yes. I support any team trying to undermine the current system.

Maybe during the BCS era, but not under the new CFP system. Even though the CFP

The system is really terrible so I don’t put much stock in either claim to NC

Colorado

I would be all in.
