The D-I20 Register

The BCS system is not equitable and this forum exists to enhance the premise that the BCS is inadequate for determining who should play for a national championship. In the end, you don't need sophisticated computers or complex formulas. You simply settle it on the field.Moderator-CRWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09425753142019750766noreply@blogger.comBlogger191100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8718707239887155142.post-90202432446717487862007-12-07T17:24:00.000-08:002007-12-07T17:26:37.908-08:00Final 2007 Conference Rankings

It seems every year about this time there is no shortage of ideas and opinions about how to implement a playoff or how to integrate one into the current system.The problem is there’s no one with a voice or the power to make that change who actually wants to see a playoff for college football. The best chance for that came earlier this year when Florida’s athletic director, Bernie Machen, was

The D-I20 Register may have produced the exact same one versus two match-up as the BCS, but I can tell you that it takes no joy in that finding. But it has – perhaps even better than last year – shown that any knuckle-head can come up with something that replicates the BCS and do it so simplistically that even the Cave Men could do it.If you’re reading this you know by now that the D-I20 Register

Perhaps no other year has exposed the inadequacy of the BCS than the 2007 season. As this college football season has unfolded, programs ranked either #1 or #2 lost ELEVEN times. There is no clear cut #1 nor is there a clear cut #2. The top 10 is filled with teams that are equally righteous for having an opportunity to compete for a national championship but only two teams will be handed that

The D-I20 Register announces the first rankings of the 2007 college football season will be released on Sunday, September 23. Initial plans were to release one week early after most teams had played a quarter of their games. The extra week of games - when a majority of teams will have played one-third of their games - will afford better data for assessing the initial order of the 120 teams.*Note:

If you haven't heard about Bernie Machen's plight to win over some of his colleagues with a plan to bring us closer to playoff don't waste your time. No sooner than Machen presented his idea to his SEC brethren was he bullied into "staying the course."To have someone like the President of the University of Florida on the side of the fans was a major coup, especially considering he won the

Although, the Register didn't produce the same #1 versus #2 matchup as the BCS, it's actually a great outcome for the Register considering that team was Michigan. There was enough controversy this year that a number of teams could have played in the title game based on a flawed system, so we'll take that as a successful first season considering some revisions need to be made for 2007.I recognize

The emphasis of the Ranking Methodology is two fold. First, it's designed to be simple. Second, it's a points system that's based on the ranking of an opponent at the time the game is played and the points gained for winning at home or away. Points are awarded for each game (unless a team loses to a I-AA school). The difference is you gain more points based on two categories.The first category

Since the first controversy involving the Bowl Championship Series (BCS)[1], University Presidents and Chancellors have continued to refute the viability of a playoff for Division I-A. Below, we examine most of the stances that have emanated from the Presidents and Chancellors, how they refute themselves, and why their argument has never resonated with many fans and athletic administrators who
