LOL: The BCS is screwed up in the game also

True, but that kind of scenario (Boise St vs. Utah) happening in the game breaks up the monotony of seeing the same teams always in the championship game.

Just finished season one and Boise State claimed the National Championship by beating Clemson in a thrilling 6-3 game.

that would be our luck.

how's the endzones? generic? or team specific?

One of the new features is they are team-specific in bowl games.

Yep EA will never give u an option for a playoff, unless its an exhibition mode type feature...NCAA wouldn't go for it...there's too much money in the bowl games, which is the same reason the conferences won't go for it in real life...giving us an option in the game would cause more people to actually realize what an absolute disgrace the bowl system is to sports...

I'd take a four team or eight team playoff...

My personal favorite is a 16 team playoff...

All conference champions automatically get in (independents could either be counted as a conference or not...they throw a loop into the deal)...then you have 5 or 6 (depending on whether you want to figure Independents as a confernce or not), as "wild-cards" based upon the BCS rankings.

It'd look something like this...(personally I wouldn't put Independents as a conf, because they control their entire schedule)

Conf Champs
VT, OKL, CIN, PSU, TULSA, BALL ST, UTAH, USC, TROY, BOSIE

Wild Cards based on BCS
Texas, Alabama, Texas Tech, Ohio State, TCU, Oklahoma State

Teams Would be Seeded based on the BCS Ranking, which would have looked like... (* for wild-card)

1. Oklahoma
2. Florida
3. Texas*
4. Alabama*
5. USC
6. Utah
7. Texas Tech*
8. Penn State
9. Bosie State
10. Ohio State*
11. TCU*
12. Cincinnati
13. Oklahoma State*
14. Virginia Tech
15. Ball State
16. Troy

Then you'd format the 16 team playoff in the 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, 3 vs 14...etc...etc...format; but with this kicker...Home field advantage would be determined by a) if you won your conference b) by BCS ranking...

So for instance last year in this 16 team format...

Wildcard #3 Texas would travel to #14 Virginia Tech (ACC Champs)

but conversely #4 Alabama (who didn't win their conference) would host #13 Oklahoma State (who didn't win their conference) because of better BCS ranking...

I'd love this format because small schools would have a theoretical chance to make it, would be able to host some games to save money, big ticket sales, and exposure...and even better no one can bitch if they get left out...the goal becomes simple. Win your conference and you have a shot to win a national title...it would be great for college football because we would get better out of conference match-ups earlier in the season...Florida may want to go out and schedule a USC early in the season, because one loss won't absolutely kill the season.

That is my two cents, but its not gonna happen anytime soon...

Sorry dude, I am over thirty and I still think it sucks.

All the NCAA did was replace bad with TOTALLY FRAGGING AWFUL! That does not work. The BCS is a bust and it is time to get with every other sport played in the world and have a playoff..

The only reason it would be wonky in the game is that Boise State and Utah would actually make it to the National Championship game. That would never happen in real life, as unfair as the current crap is.
