Pretty good, could go undefeated but won't matter as Bama/Bucks have the NCG on lockdown.

I hope you are right, but what if Oregon continues to beat the bejesus out of other teams? Think some crazy pollsters might starting changing their votes like they did for Boise State?

Crowning a national champion in college football has nothing to do with equity and fairness, but everything to do with money, and there's simply no money to be made with a playoff or we'd already have one.

I agree with you. I do think deep down most people realize this, but there is still the facade that it is about what they see on the field not $$$. The day we see a bunch of undefeateds or a 11-1 Bama/OSU/USC over an undefeated couple of other teams from AQ schools is that day everyone calls to the end of the BCS.

No money to be made in a playoff? Like college football fans wouldnt pay big $ to see the best teams go head to head in a 8 team or w/e tourny?

The Ncaa's pockets certainly arent hurting after March Madness....

Does Nebraska automatically become "too slow" and "overrated" after joining the Big Ten (+2)?

Pretenders in terms of national title, but they have a weak sauce schedule the rest of the way and might end up undefeated heading into the Big 12 championship. I don't see them beating Oklahoma once they get there though.

They might have a shot. They just jumped Oklahoma in the polls. I'd like to see them go undefeated and beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game. Like a big FU to the Big 12 Conference, as they leave.
