No playoff.

Early 80s conference alignments and bowl tie-ins.

Guys in ugly colored jackets making bowl deals in smoky backrooms.

Cotton Bowl actually played in the Cotton Bowl.

Perfection.


yup, and if there are 2 undefeated teams after the bowls.......... a 2-team playoff

or 2 one-loss teams

I'm okay with that but it's not a requirement for me.  I don't mind the polls and the incessant arguing about "who's number one."  Mostly because I'd love to remove the value placed on being "#1" and return it where it belongs-- valuing rivalry wins and conference championships.

not a requirement for me either, but..........

I'd have loved to see the game between the Huskers and Lions in 94 and the Huskers and Wolverines in 97.

similar to the dislike for Conference championship games - the Huskers and Horns Big 12 champ games in 96 and 99 were good entertainment

Sure.  And without the Alliance/BCS, the 2006 Rose Bowl btw Texas and USC never would have happened, either.

yup, the 2-team playoff

2006 Rose was possible cause Michigan and the B1G were upset about the split in 97

all for the sake of tradition ;)

Whole sport is gonna implode on itself eventually anyway.  No worries, I'm sure I'll find something else to occupy my time.

Texas has secured the Director's Cup, winning 3 of the last 4.  The final standings are still up in the air with Tennessee and Florida's Omaha points not yet being  counted, but nobody will be able to surpass Texas so the win is secured.

Willie Mays has died.

Maybe the greatest-ever baseball player.
