It’s the last year of the BCS! How about that! I’m exited about the four-team playoff next year, although I still think eight is the right number for a league of this size–127 teams!
For your reference, here are Part 1 and Part 2 of my playoff proposal. The only difference is that I now include 6 conference winners and 2 wildcards.
Texas A&M is ranked 37th here. Why? Yes, they stuck with Alabama (but didn’t pull out the win). But who have they beaten? Rice, SMU, and Sam Houston State. I think Austin Community College is next on their schedule. Meanwhile, Auburn, who is also 3-1, is sitting much higher because they’ve beaten a few reasonably decent teams.
FYI, Texas is ranked 76th. Behind Duke but ahead of Vanderbilt. Sounds about right.
