Could this football post-season have gone any better?

Exactly. I feel pretty confident that we have the 2 best teams playing in the big game.
I'm not a fan of any of the final four teams, but that didn't stop me from enjoying every second of both games and loving the outcome of each.
An Oregon win will make those goofs insufferable. The t-shirt fans will come out of the woodwork and we'll be seeing neon green and highlighter yellow "o"s everywhere. It'll be awful, but in the end, it's great for college football and won't really hurt CU, either.
0. Virginia Tech Military Bowl Champs. :woot: :woot:
0. Wisconsin Badgers Outback Bowl Champs. :woot:
1. enjoy the Schadenfreude
2. ditto
3. by God, does it have no end?
4. CU fans need something to cheer for besides other teams losing.
5. the playoff games have been good. I'll withhold further comment. I sincerely hope that everyone who has been wanting this is enjoying the games and the objective process of determining who is the "one true national champion for all of college football".
6. Yes, and that's good. However, I thought I was going to love having a full slate of big New Years games, but DVR has given me back control of my sports viewing schedule, so it wasn't that big of a deal to me. also, honestly with the timing of the holidays and weekend, I'd probably rather have them on Wed night or on Saturday.
7. wikipedia has a good page for this season's bowl summary. Pac does look good. Big game for UCLA today. No idea about the OSU/Wash game.
I also have to say I like the four team format just fine. I´m perfectly fine with the fact one Power 5 champ gets left at the altar. They´ll probably move to eight soon when they realize how much money there is in this thing, but I like that you actually have to "prove" yourself apart from winning your conference. The lack of wild cards also reduces the amount of politicking and lobbying.
The two better teams won imho. FSU hurt themselves with turnovers but a few of those were forced. Oregon deserves credit not like Winston gave them any.
We all have to swallow our pride here a little, but anything that helps the Pac´s reputation will be a good thing for CU in the long run.
Winston played well until FSU self destructed and he had to chase the game and therefore force things.
Yeah I don't think he played terrible by any stretch, I was more referring to that rb more than anything. Also what Winston said after the game.

An undefeated, defending national champ who won their conference championship game. Not a chance.

Leave it to the 'smiteful' gods of football to stick us in the toughest division while trying to rebuild.
Are you admitting that the playoff was actually a good idea?
I re-read my post and can't conceive how any person could take that away from anything I said. No, I think the playoffs were a terrible idea. i think fans were pushed into really shi*ty systems like the BSA and BCS which screwed things up so bad that fans believed the networks (who stand to make all the money) telling us that we needed a playoffs. Few stopped to question, "why?"
I didn't read your post either. Just hoping. How anyone can watch yesterdays games and still think it was terrible idea is crazy to me. To each their own, I guess.
I agree with this. Yesterday was all kinds of incredible. It might be so good that the 8-team playoff might not happen. The 4-team playoff keeps the regular season very much in play. You can't back in to the final four.
Jens nearly has me convinced that we should keep it at 4 teams. While 8 teams sounds terrific, I think it might dilute the value of the regular season a bit. There was no question that those four teams deserved to be there. It also helps that they kept the bowl games intact and worked them into the fabric of the playoff. That was genius. So next week, either OSU or UO will lose, but they can still say they're Sugar Bowl/Rose Bowl champions. That's great.
I haven't enjoyed a NYD that much in years. Maybe since 1991.
Yep.
can we honestly not differentiate between "the quality of the games" and "the appropriateness of the system"? I think you and a few others are conflating those points.
Hmm definitely to each their own, I love the playoff idea. Alabama and Blowhio St. was one of the better games I've seen this year.
i thought the 2 games were really compelling. i'd love to see an expansion to 8. i don't want the big12 to disintegrate. better that they stay a p5 conference and go to enough teams to have a champ game. then, all the p5 champions get an auto bid into the playoffs and you have 3 at large. that would be pretty damned epic.
if the b12 dissolves, we're going to end up in some ****ty pac16 east division with all the texassss ****ers again.

Agreed. Was a huge proponent of the 8 team playoff, but yesterday was so good I can an argument for leaving it as is.
The quality of the games was intensified by the system that put those games in place, though. Both of those games had a lot on the line. A run of the mill bowl game between FSU and Alabama would have been nice, but it wouldn't have had the impact that those games had. You're trying to differentiate two things that are connected to begin with.
I think it will expand to 8 eventually.
opcorn:
I agree, and I'm not sure I like that. What we have is most definitely not broken. Don't fix a system that's not broken. Whoever wins between OSU and UW will be an undisputed champion.
