No.. I understand. I would like to see TWO tries by both teams before a coin flip is used. Let the home team kick off the first time. If both teams score a touchdown... field goal... or nothing, do it again. If they are still tied, then use a coin flip and go to sudden death.

Ugh, I'd hate that system.
Do it like a real game, have a coin flip. The team that wins decides kick, and then both teams have at least one go and if still tied then they keep playing, sudden death.

I don't see why the NFL couldn't go to a modified college overtime, played in the standard NFL way, only with each team getting an equal number of possessions. Just think of them as extra innings.
Anyway, the following teams have qualified for the First Annual Guynemer's Gamecube NCAA Football Championship Tournament, of GGNCAAFCT for short.
Florida State, ACC Champions
Miami, Big East Champions
Ohio State, Big Ten Champions
Texas Christian, Conference USA Champions
Colorado State, Mountain West Champions
North Texas, Sun Belt Champions
Boise State, WAC Champions
Four conference championships are still up-for-grabs, to be decided this afternoon:
Big Twelve (Colorado vs. Oklahoma)
MAC (Marshall vs. Toledo)
SEC (Georgia vs. Arkansas)
Pac Ten (UCLA vs. Washington State, with USC becoming champions with a UCLA win, Wazzou if they beat the Bruins)
The following teams have qualified for wild-card "consideration", having nine wins against Div I-A teams:
ACC--Maryland (NC State beat two non-Div I-A schools en route to a 10 win season)
Big 12--Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas (See NC State re: Kansas State)
Big East--Virginia Tech (West Virginia beat one non-Div I-A school en route to a 9 win season)
Big Ten--Iowa, Michigan, Penn State
Conference USA--nobody
Independents--Notre Dame (Southern Florida beat two non-Div I-A schools en route to a 9 win season)
MAC--nobody (Marshall, Toledo, and Bowling Green--see West Virginia)
Mountain West--nobody
Pac-10--USC (If Wazzou beats UCLA, they are conference champs; if they lose, USC is conference champs, and Wazzou does not qualify for wild-card consideration for the same reason as West Virginia and the MAC teams)
SEC--Georgia, Arkansas (Alabama does not qualify due to NCAA sanctions; however, victories against 'Bama will count as wins against other wild-card contenders)
Sun Belt--nobody
WAC--Hawaii (IF they win tonight; otherwise, see West Virginia, MAC teams, Wazzou...)
So, to sum up, these are the potential wild cards:
Maryland, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Virginia Tech, Iowa, Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Arkansas, USC, Hawaii. The wild card slot will go to the team with the most victories against conference champions and other potential wild cards (and Alabama).
Right now, before today's games, it stands thus:
Maryland--0
Oklahoma--3 (Alabama, Colorado, Texas; takes Big 12 Championship and automatic berth with another victory over Colrado today.)
Colorado--0 (Takes Big 12 Championship and automatic berth with victory over Oklahoma today.)
Texas--1 (North Texas)
Virginia Tech--currently 0, potentially 1 or 2 (Pending game vs. Miami today, and MAC Championship, having beat Marshall.)
Iowa--2 (Michigan, Penn State)
Michigan--1 (Penn State)
Penn State--0
Notre Dame--3 (Maryland, Michigan, Florida State)
USC--2 (Colorado, Notre Dame)
Georgia--1 (Alabama; takes SEC berth with victory over Arkansas today.)
Arkansas--1 (Boise State; takes SEC berth with victory over Georgia today.)
Hawaii--0
So it comes to this: if Oklahoma beats Colorado today, Oklahoma is Big 12 Champ and Notre Dame is the wild card. However, if Colorado wins today, Oklahoma and Notre Dame both have three victories against the best of the best. So, we go to victories against teams with at least 8 Div I-A wins...
Oklahoma--4 ('Bama, Texas, Colorado, Texas Tech--Southern Florida only had 7 Div I-A wins)
Notre Dame--5 (Maryland, Michigan, Florida State, Pittsburgh, Air Force)
No matter what happens today, Notre Dame has clinched the wild card.
One last summary-----------------------------------
These are the twelve teams in the GGNCAAFCT:
Florida State
Miami
Ohio State
TCU
Colorado State
North Texas
Boise State
Notre Dame (wildcard)
Winner of Colorado vs. Oklahoma
Winner of Marshall vs. Toledo
Winner of Georgia vs. Arkansas
Washington State if they beat UCLA; if not, USC
Seeding will be based on average of final poll ranking. Early prediction: North Texas will be #12.
First round games will be at the Outback Bowl, Liberty Bowl, Holiday Bowl, and the Alamo Bowl. Second round games will be at the Rose Bowl (hosting the #1 team), CapitalOne Bowl, Gator Bowl, and the Cotton Bowl. The Orange and Sugar Bowls are the semifinals; the championship is the Fiesta Bowl."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

Hey, I like the format .
At least this is here and not in the other thread infected by BCS apologists .“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Same to you with respect to leftists having brains .
Though I doubt North Texas will beat Miami in the first game (I assume the Hurricane will be ranked #1) .“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Sorry, Guy, but I see some flaws in your system too. Critics would howl at you for including a Notre Dame team that some would think was a bit overrated and excluding a USC team (WSU beat UCLA today) that not only destroyed ND but had the same record as ND against a tougher schedule.
Try expanding the pool to sixteen teams and getting some of those other deserving wild-card entrants in (like USC and an *extremely* underrated Iowa squad) and trash those sissy byes.CGN | a bunch of incoherent nonsense

Well, the Dogs won convincingly, so that prayer was answered, but Miami also won (not so convincingly though - I'm predicting OSU is gonna take 'em) so Georgia is left for playing for #2. Not too shabby, and a quality end to the season, but if we could just have the Florida game back. Hell, if we could get that damned personal foul back!
Man, I'd rather have USC then Florida State. We'd have a better shot against FSU, but I want the better team. Here's hoping!!! :fingerscrossed: On the other hand, USC-OK isn't a shabby game either.
Maddux, Kent, and Clemens were offered arbitration today, along with Chuck Finley, who is notable for having married Tawny Kitean.
Though she's kind of nasty nowadays.

But, I suppose I'm not completely against the idea of four more wildcards, as long as I'm forced to have the one as it is. That would bring in Iowa and USC, and leave the other two slots for Texas, Michigan, Virginia Tech, or Arkansas. Too tired and lazy to figure out who'd win the tiebreaker in that one right now; if they were to get one of those slots, Texas ought to thank their lucky stars that North Texas won the Sun Belt."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

For those 'traditionalists' backing the BCS.... there is a BIG chance that the Rose Bowl WILL NOT have Pac 10 vs. the Big 10. If you are going to have bowl games, this is inexcusable!
Another black mark for the B(C)S.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Who cares about the Rose Bowl? To me, the Rose Bowl has been that game with those two conferences I can't be arsed to learn about.
My wife and I were discussing yesterday and she wanted to know what were the four "big" New Years Day bowl games that existed long before this BCS ruined that system. I came up with Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Cotton, but I'm having doubts as to whether that is correct. I could look it up, but why, when I can ask such a learned group as this bunch?
