Nobody things much of the Hokies.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I don't think much of most of them. Boomer Sooner!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I think WV would beat tOSU...They are like Illinois with better athletes

[Stoop Dawg]

Hmmm, interesting idea. A playoff that is decided by polls.

Has anyone presented this idea to the BCS?

It is rather novel, isn't it?

[KHS Sooner]

Georgia is getting there arses kicked ;)

[Civicus_Sooner]

We need to be prepared for OSU, I'm betting those tards are gonna be ready to out vote our Sooners in mass.

[flopshotjoe99]

Well - aside from a PLAYOFF :eek: - everything's been used to pick champs except raw democracy. Might as well give it a shot !

[Big Red Ron]

Yep. Vote early and often !

[Chrisrokc]

Look at all the vote Flordia has. They are going to stomp us if we play them in the title game :-(

[sooner n houston]

IN

[RedstickSooner]

These things always seem totally silly to me.

I will say this, though: This season has been a superb argument for the +1 format "micro-playoff", where the top two teams after the bowls play for the national championship (with one game pitting #1 vs #4, the other bowl getting #2 vs #3).

We'd benefit nicely from such a format. And if they made it so the only time they went to a +1 bowl game was if 3 of the top 4 BCS teams had identical records, it'd be a very fair system (meaning, if there's, say, two undefeated teams and then a bunch of 1 loss teams, having an extra "championship" game would be unnecessary).

Just my two cents.

[IowaSooner26]

Down to the final four. Don't forget to vote again.

Oklahoma vs. Ohio State
Florida vs. SUC

[Hotel Bravo]

I voted.

OU is nicely ahead, but your vote can make it even more decisive!

[pardine]

I was looking in for some input of what Sooner Nation thought of a playoff system. I like to have a playoff system but where are the games going to be play at? I also like to use the bowls. I just can’t see the team fans traveling around the states through four rounds of playoffs. If you team is lucky enough to get though three rounds. Also the championship game will be like the Super Bowl. The hype will be so crazy that the tickets will be out of price range for most fans.

Here’s a fun custom seeding and simulating playoff rounds.

Voted! We are up 53-47. Hey if we win this do we get to claim a Bama title? ;)

[colleyvillesooner]

Vote people!!

[NYC Poke]

Ironic that a college football playoff is being decided by voting.


I voted, btw.

[Civicus_Sooner]

Only a 1,600 vote lead.

[Miko]

I am pleasantly surprised to see us virtually leading suc!

[SoonerBOI]

voted. OU 52% - USC 48%

[tulsaoilerfan]

I am pleasantly surprised to see us virtually leading suc!
Cause no one in California gives a damn about them; only the media truly cares

[Spanish Sooner]

50-50 right now

[colleyvillesooner]

nm

[Suerreal]

Um, CVS, are you looking at the old game (OU vs OSU)?

We're losing big to USC 57%-43% right now in the final.

[colleyvillesooner]

yeah, whoops.

I blame OG&E not being able to get everyone's power back on.

It's over. No way we catch up now.

[Suerreal]

Keep voting. Depending on when they close this, we may be able to take advantage of the time difference & regain some ground. Earlier this AM, we were down 42-58, so we've caught up a little.

[Suerreal]

Well, we've gone from -7500 to -7000. It will take a miracle.

[Suerreal]

now down to ~ -6600 and up to 44%. Keep voting!

[Texas Golfer]

Voted. But it's not looking good.

[Suerreal]

-6200 and 45% Making some headway!

[Landthief 1972]

"Yeah, Irwin M. Fletcher you choose. Woo-wee!



Oh, boy, I lost. Yeah. Sorry."

[Suerreal]

We lost (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/12/13/ultimateplayoff.champion/index.html) :(

[Pvt Joker7]

Every damn time!

[Civicus_Sooner]

We lost (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/12/13/ultimateplayoff.champion/index.html) :(
Pete will be looking to repete now next year.:rolleyes:

[pott_2]

There are more people in LA (with computers) than OUr entire state.

They lost at home, to a tree.

I'm just surprised so many of them aren't too stoned to figure out how to turn 'em on!

[Leroy Lizard]

Oh my God. I cannot believe anyone cares enough to even post.

So why am I posting here? I have no idea.

[Crucifax Autumn]

We're just bored. We're all addicts and can't find our Saturday crack fix for going on 2 weeks now.
