Fornelli: “I miss the BCS”.

Synopsis: CFP has made the sport worse. The BCS selection process was at least transparent. Now, instead of a series of set rankings, we have a group of people, wet set biases, who meet and determine participants based on “whatever criteria fits at the time”.

It's time to consider contracting the College Football Playoff back to just two teams

Despite the pushes and pleas for expansion, it's hard to argue that the CFP has been better than the BCS

He's missing the point. Both systems screw the little guy. It's

That’s impossible when there are only 11 games and so many teams play a very

Make 10 conferences of 9 teams each. Play 8 regular season games

I feel like the government went in and fixed the BCS with something worse. BCS with top 4 in playoffs would be a step

4/8/21 6:56pm

It's still true...

4/8/21 7:36pm

BCS with top 4 in playoffs would have been the exact same results...

You already answered this below.

That's not an argument for 2 teams; it's argument for different selection metric

krindorr

4/8/21 6:56pm

Exactly. Use a computer...for 8 teams. Boom!

Exactly

4/8/21 6:58pm

Although for all the CFP complaints, BCS would have picked the same 4 every time

It’s much worse. As I said it would be from the beginning.

4/8/21 6:57pm

It is not worse at all. 3 games will always be better than 1

Baron

It’s much worse

4/8/21 7:08pm

How? Which top 2 teams under the BCS have been left out?

Baron

Fornelli must be a CBer, because that is some awful logic. What’s his handle?

Using the BCS formula to determine the four playoff teams makes too much sense

DieHarder

Using BCS to determine the teams would have given the exact same results as CFP

krindorr

4/8/21 7:51pm

Seems to be some notable differences here

4/8/21 8:17pm

Definitely differences and worse for G5, but not different at the top

krindorr

4/8/21 8:46pm

The powers of college football distracted the media and public with the playoff

4/8/21 7:04pm

If only there was a system to take the teams proven to be good during the

4/8/21 7:25pm

Yup, BCS was actually a much better system

4/8/21 7:37pm

The CFP is biased and the BCS is just programmed in bias

KingDave

I prefer 4 teams, but the selection process is infinitely worse.
