Yeah if CFB had 349 teams in one division, then your point could work.

Okay, I don't need to see the #1 team play the #32 team in a playoff.

Woah... he ended up at Detroit. Had no idea, that's awesome. Played high school ball in KZO area in the same time-frame.

Word. Where'd you play? The kids I coached would head down there throughout the season to catch his games. I didn't believe the hype behind his hops at first. I was mistaken.

I thought about picking Detroit over Kansas after watching them beat the hell out Valparaiso in the Horizon league championship, but I didn't have the guts to do it.

Wouldn't surprise me if Detroit knocked off the Jayhawks, though. That was the only #15 seed I thought had any chance.

Long Island is hanging around with Michigan State thus far.

Thats why college football needs a playoff. You never know what might happen.

Only way you would see any upsets is if they changed the rules so field goals became worth more points than touchdowns.

These little schools have a chance in college basketball because their undersized teams can just sit behind the three point line and rain jumpers, which takes away the bigger school's height/athleticism advantage.

There's no way to hide these size/athleticism disparities in the sport of football.

Sad to see Memphis go out like that. Definitely wasn't their night, but part of that could have been St. Louis' defense. The majority of the team are still sophomores, so hopefully they all come back and make a run next year.

Also, go Lehigh!

Did we just forget about App St. beating Michigan in the Big House? Obviously that's the exception and not the rule though, more often than not the smaller schools would get blown out.

I'm not even trying to argue that the CFB should have a playoff system like CBB. But it should have some type of playoff system IMO.

Just to clarify, you misquoted. That was not my post. Carry on

Yeah I think they could still utilize bowls but for say the top 16 you get seeded and play in a playoff for the National Championship.

Still get your money out of bowl games for the rest of the teams but the playoff would be pretty entertaining as well and would truly determine a more clear cut champion as opposed to relying on the BCS to do so.

This has to be the worst bet ever. This guy bet $2,863.63 on Duke in order to win $286.36.

It's only a bad bet cause they actually lost. 9 times out of 10 that's easy money.

UDM's Anderson a little more active offensively than I would have expected.

Re: The Official 2012 "Running Commentary of Every Single Game" Thread

Did I hear right? UDM has more McD's All Americans than Kansas. I never would've guessed.

McCollum from Lehigh was only recruited by Lehigh and Bowling Green. Pretty amazing. He's good.

Yes, but that's because UDM has one All-American (McCallum) to Kansas' zero.

Meanwhile, Anderson going reverse. I like it.

Doug Anderson is so awesome
