    BCS is broken

    Haven't posted in quite a while but had to share this from my offline dynasty. These are the BCS ranks going into bowl season. THREE 12-1 teams denied the title game...it's absurd. I'm the Illini btw...

    1. GT 11-2 (ACC Champs)
    2. Bama 9-3 (3rd in SEC West)
    3. Miss. St. 12-1 (SEC Champs)
    4. Illinois 12-1 (BIG Champs)
    5. Stanford 12-1 (PAC Champs)

    No way! I always thought EA's bowl games and rankings system was spot on!

        How is this a helpful post?

        To the OP. Curious. Did Bama beat Miss State?

          I don't think he was asking for help.

          He was complaining about the BCS rankings on the game. This is like the 10th thread in the past month complaining about it. On the last thread I said the same thing and got a million likes.

              Which is still significantly fewer complaints than there are for the real BCS.

              Hard to call something in a game broken, when it's actually broken in real life as well.

                I meant helpful as in useful. But I guess you're going for likes.

                The real BCS is controversial, when debating which 1 loss team should get in, but it's not broken where 3 and 2 loss BCS conference teams get in over 1 loss BCS conference teams. The season doesn't even make sense if that happens.

                  No im not going for likes, I always try to help people on here. I'm just saying.. your opinion is unpopular, as I said the same thing on another similar thread and got a million likes. This issue isn't even one that can be helped, and the OP hasn't even asked for help.

                    What does a million likes have to do with anything? Your post isn't useful and it implies that the concern isn't valid or worth talking about. It's the one line nonsense that constantly goes on within forums.

                    It can be helped. Discussing it, posting examples, keeping it a topic of conversation on a sim sports forum potentially leads to something being done about it. At some point, the dev team is going to have to start tuning the logic for the plus one playoffs anyway.

                    A link to the other thread was all that was needed. But continue taking satisfaction in your likes from a month old thread.

                      When did I 'take satisfaction' from the likes my post got? I was using it to point out that people liked the post before when I said the same thing on a similar thread. Quit putting words in my mouth dude. If you wanna continue to pick on my post take it to private messages, this isn't the place for it.

                        I could argue for a large number of seasons in the BCS era not making sense because of the BCS.

                        Broken in real life, broken in the video game world. It is what it is.

                          I'd like to see the examples that are similar to what the OP posted.

                            Broken is broken. 2003 for example. USC #1 in both polls, still gets left out. The season makes sense after that? 2001? 2011? 2008?

                            If you want to try drive this in to the ground, go for it, but I don't understand any outrage on the BCS being broken in the game or the season in the game not making sense, when in fact the BCS is broken, and in fact it has made the season almost meaningless.

                            Feel free to continue your crusade if you'd like.

                              USC 1 loss team. LSU 1 loss team. Oklahoma 1 loss team. Someone had to get left out. Oklahoma had the toughest strength of schedule while USC had the weakest, so SC got left out. It makes sense in the context of that season.

                              Same thing in 2001, 2008, and 2011. All controversial but you're deciding between 1 loss teams. None of them involve a 3 loss team, finishing third in the conference getting in over three 1 loss teams.

                              You're post is oversimplification. Broken isn't broken. There are levels.

                              What if a 3 loss team got in over an undefeated team during a dynasty? You'd still see no problem with that? It'll still somehow be parallel to 1 loss USC not getting in over 1 loss LSU?
