Just finished reading this article on Yahoo and thought I'd share. This guy brings up some really good points; if not some of the best ones I've heard in a while. I really like the ideas of giving "cinderella" teams a chance and not leaving any unbeaten team without a shot at the title.

How exciting would it be to look forward to watching the playoff's they have listed coming up through December and January. The best Final Four would be Alabama, Florida, Oregon and Boise State. Would set up two huge rematches. But the Crimson Tide would still be the National Champions. They're just too stacked on the offensive and defensive lines.

I don't think so how could you leave out Texas! It should be Texas, Alabama, TCU, Boise State

There's a 16 team bracket for a playoff in the article the final four I listed is who I think would make the final four in that. If there was just a 4 team playoff yes I think that the 4 you listed would have to be in.

I think you have the BCS determine the top 8 for a playoff, you aint in the top 8, tough.

Higher seeded team gets home field advantage, title game for the last 2 at a neutral site (Fiesta Bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl...rotation). All other bowl games go as planned except the NC championship game for one of the above mentioned bowls. "Student Athletes" won't miss school and we will have a true winner. No automatic berths, etc...BCS top 8 only..the champ is in there somewhere.

Personally, I like it the way it is. A playoff system would mean no Bowl Games, just a playoff. A playoff is the most fair way to go but it is far more entertaining with what 34 Bowl games instead of 4 games to determine one champion.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

He covers this in the article. Bowl games would still happen and teams that loose the playoffs would still have a chance for a bowl game.

      Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end.

      OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.

      Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.

      Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite.
