Yeah, those 3 years (I think) the compromised Big East champ still got a big bowl invite felt smarmy.

You didn't like watching UConn or Cincinnati on New Years Day?

Humorously, we are going to the 4 team playoff precisely when we've never needed it less.  We at one point had 7 solid conferences, then the SWC broke up and dropped us to 6.  The ACC raided the Big East, so it was sort of 5.5.  Starting next year we essentially have 2 mega conferences, and two conferences that are like the BCS era Big East.

I've noticed in doing the season simulation under the 1983 format that while teams scheduled WAY better OOC, conference play was worse, because the teams were spread out among 6 power conferences, and a very large group of independents.
From the 7 solid conference era, if you took the ACC and the Big East and taped them together, you'd essentially have the current ACC.

So it's basically like another super conference. :098:

Not really, sort of like Cincinnati or TCU in the CFP.

Although, it was funny to watch Tebow's final game vs undefeated Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl.  30-3 at halftime.  Florida outgained them by 400 yards.  Made Tebow look like Dan Marino out there.

Sounds to me like you did enjoy watching Cincinnati play in a BCS bowl game. You can still recall all of the details, right off of the cusp, all these years later.

Yeah, it's a game called "one of these things is not like the others..."

which 68 would you put in if the season ended today, and the football bracket mirrored the format of the basketball bracket?
