I would like to get a fresh update on what the Tidefans members think at this point in time about this never-ending debate.
Here is what I would like to ask you guys to do. Please reply only with the option you prefer. You have to choose one of the four. The primary purpose here is not to explain WHY you feel how you feel or to come up with some other new hybrid option that we haven't beat to death yet. Simply tell me which is your preference.
Until it became a reality in the last few days that change might actually happen, I have felt for the last few years that the media was pushing an agenda under the false pretense that "most objective fans want a playoff". I didn't really believe that most fans wanted that. In many cases in life a loud minority creates a false perception while a silent minority does nothing.
Anyway I am just curious what we really believe is best for college football. So please just reply with your choice.
Option 1 - Old School
No BCS. Traditional bowl tie-ins rule. National champs were awarded only by the two polls and would often be split.
Option 2 - Current BCS
Option 3 - The currently proposed seeded 4-team playoff. For my poll, here are the specifics of this option. Seeding is strictly BCS top-4. No conference champ requirement and no limit on number of teams per conference. Note: I believe that is what is actually going to happen.
Option 4 - A 16-team post-season tournament. All 11 conference champs automatically qualify. We will include 5 at-large bids, handed out based on BCS rank or a selection committee. We can decide that later. Do not let that affect your choice here.
So again, please limit the confusion and simply choose the option that most closely resembles what you think is the best option for college football to use to determine the champ each year.
Thank you
