A two-tiered post season would starve the lower tier bowls. UNT took a loss the last time they went bowling, a two-tier bowl system would mean less sponsor money and more losses for the smaller bowls. Teams don't go from no bowl to the top 8 over night. It takes small bowls to build better teams. A two-tier post season kills the small bowls.

Utah, my national champ.

Florida, chicken s national champ...

I agree. As far as I'm concerned Utah is a National Champion for last season, but I still acknowledge Florida as a National Champion too, Just not the undisputed National Champion. It should have been decided on the field. The Utah-Alabama game proved that.

The BCS is good for UNT and the SBC. The BCS preserves the bowl system, which gives us the the New Orleans Bowl. A two tiered post-season would crush the second tier "other" bowls.

I totally disagree. The BCS keeps the big time college teams big time, by making sure they are the only ones who get a chance to play for the national championship. They've created a system that places impossible barriers between mid-major teams and the championship. Utah proved this last year. That fact that mid-majors are excluded from the championship game, all but eliminates the mid-majors from being able to hire and keep quality coaches, and recruit the top talent in the country. A five star recruit won't sign with a program that doesn't have top quality coaches. And a Five star recruit certainly won't sign with a program that has no opportunity of putting a National Championship Ring on his finger.

Would this be a scarecrow?

He said the BCS helps preserve bowl games, he did not say anything about the budget barriers and national title chances.

Our reality is that if a playoff materializes, chances are the NO Bowl would be the first one to disappear.

I'm sure Urban Meyer is worried about your recognition of the national championship.

The BCS does exactly what it was designed to do; match #1 vs. #2 and preserve the bowl system.

Miner,

I apologize if my thoughts read like babbling. It is a bad habit of mine. I rambled on about my issues with the bcs, and did not antiquity address how it would impact UNT or the Belt. Here is my second attempt.

If the New Orleans Bowl is our ultimate goal as a program, then I would agree with the post. But as a fan I want our team to compete for more then a low level bowl. The bcs does help preserve the the lesser bowl games, and that is a benefit to the Sun Belt as a conference, but in the long run I feel it is a liability. Yes if the bcs was replaced with a playoff system, the New Orleans Bowl would be the bowl I'd bet would be dropped first.

I'm willing to make that trade off, for the ability to sell coaches, recruits, and even our fan base on the opportunity to play for a chance to earn the National Championship. Some might laugh at the idea, but I wonder what Hayden Fry would think? If we had a playoff system in place in the late 70's, he may have never left, and our history of football here at North Texas may have been very different.

In the long run, I feel this would be better for North Texas, even if it is not the best thing for the Sun Belt.

The bcs matches their #1 vs. #2. In my opinion, Utah's win vs. Alabama was more impressive then Florida's, so I think the ranking are debatable, at least for last season.

Agree. The Bowls are basically meaningless. It's a way to celebrate also-rans in the polls. The BC$ is a means to their own conceived end. The only way to determine a true champ is on the field with a playoff like every other level of football uses to determine it's champ. Anything else is just a gimmick to make $$$.

I'm guessing the Sun Belt doesn't even merit mention in this conversation?

Nah. I'm sure it's just that Wright gets flex Fridays and was off when they had the discussion.

      Kansas to the SEC?

      I agree. Stanford, Kansas, and Notre Dame could all wind up in the Big 10, while Virginia and North Carolina should get to choose between Big 10 and SEC membership. For what it's worth, (sorry Buffalo), Missouri could also leave the SEC for the Big 10.

A federal court authorized this notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Southeastern Conference, and Atlantic Coast Conference, including Notre Dame. (“Power Five Conferences”). The lawsuit claims certain NCAA rules that prevented student-athletes from receiving compensation for the commercial use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL) and prohibited NCAA conferences and schools from sharing any NIL revenue they receive with student-athletes were anticompetitive. You may be included in the lawsuit if you are a current or former college athlete who received a full Grant-in-Aid (GIA) scholarship and compete on, or competed on, a Division I men’s or women’s basketball team or an FBS football team, at a college or university that is a member of one of the Power Five Conferences (including Notre Dame), any time between June 15, 2016 and November 3, 2023 OR who competed on a Division I athletic team prior to July 1, 2021 and received compensation while a Division I college athlete for the use of your NIL between July 1, 2021 and November 3, 2023. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS DO NOTHING If you do nothing you are choosing to stay in the lawsuit. You will be eligible to share in any money that may be obtained through continued litigation or settlement. You will be bound by past and any future court rulings on, or settlement of, the claims against Defendants, and you will not be able to pursue your own claims against them. EXCLUDE YOURSELF If you exclude yourself from the lawsuit (i.e. opt out), you will not be able to share in any money that may be obtained in this case through continued litigation or settlement. You will not be bound by any past or future rulings against Defendants. You may pursue your own claims against Defendants. These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the notice. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. Please read the entire notice carefully by clicking HERE.

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      First CFB game would have been Baylor against some nonconference cupcake in the early 2010s. First UNT game I went to, I got to witness this atrocity in Austin:
