contender for what? if you mean the Cinc trophy, I agree. Especially since Army continues to stink up the NCAA. If you mean a National Championship, I HIGHLY doubt it. Even if they go undefeated (and I doubt that since Notre Dame is on a hot streak), their weak schedule and independent status would prevent them from getting a BCS bowl.

I agree, but then what? Go back to letting the ADs and reporters select the National Champion? Then you go back to when they looked at two undefeated teams with similar schedules and went, "You know, Coach A deserves it more than Coach B" etc. etc. Go to a playoff system? Then how do you (using "you" in the general sense) make up the bracket? Like NCAA basketball; only with less teams? How long would it be, would you stretch the season out into Jan or Feb? You can't have them playing every other day like Basketball. Make it like the NFL? Then how do you determine who makes the cut with so many more teams than the NFL and with multiple undefeated teams. Would each conference champion get a seed? Then how is that fair for teams in strong conferences? Could you force Navy and Notre Dame to join a conference?

Here's my humble idea. Create a new division. Higher than IA. That division would have a playoff system but would only be restricted to about 30 teams. Than you could have a playoff similar to the NFL. After each year, the poorly preforming teams are reevaluated by the ADs and reporters and lesser teams are dropped back into IA and good IA teams are promoted to the new divison. Yes, I know there are questions with this system.

Wow, I can certainly go off on a rant when I'm procrastinating to not work on my NPS final.

watching navy football is like watching a high school football game. i always get a good chuckle when boat schoolers talk up their football season.

AAAAAAAAAAND that's why I like baseball. Play a SH!T-TON of games, and whoever has the highest percentage, plus wildcard, goes to the playoffs.

^ Yeah, but there's one problem with baseball...it's so damned boring. I compare watching baseball to watching a very old man paint a very large house with a very small brush.

I remember a study about how many viewers each sport gets. NBA is below GOLF. Fourth was baseball.

No, I don't remember the year, but it was fairly recent. I know about absolutely no-one that watches or even cares about NBA. This includes northern and southern friends. Now, college basketball, that's a different story.

What REALLY sucks for us northerners is that the NHL is in serious trouble of not existing.
