I'm a big fan of the MLB, NBA and NFL but I cannot get into college football. Every time I watch ESPN I'm hearing BCS this and Tim Tebow that and Ihave no idea what's going on. I mean now and then I might get into it. I know the big top draft picks that come into the NFL but that's about it.Anyone else feel the same way?
Anyone here NOT watch college football?

I only watch the Gophers and big games. Other than that, I could care less
...I don't know what it is I just can't get into it.
I am a diehard NBA/NCAAB/NFL/MLB fan though.

I really don't, it is really hard to cheer for a sport and watch it when you know at the BEGINNING of the year that about 10 teams have a shot at achampionship, and every other team, regardless if they go undefeated don't. What's the point?

I just truly got into college football 3 years ago. I was definitely missing out.

I also don't like the fact that certain teams can go undefeated but they don't get a chance to play for the championship.
2008 Utah Utes = REAL National Champions.

I'm on the fence with college football. I just started to really get into it last year, but I can understand why people wouldn't like it, since the BCSreally doesn't allow for teams to come out of nowhere and play for a national title.
Also, having so many bowl games dilutes the process. The Holiday Inn Bowl? Really? That's what I've cheered for all season, to see my team come outwith some dinky title that, years and years from now, will look ridiculous and pitiful?

Silly statement. I guess you must have missed Boise St. and Oklahoma play.
Regardless, there are a lot of teams that shouldn't play for the national title game. Check out when Hawaii got destroyed by UGA.. everyone was hypingthat team up all year long and they got absolutely worked. Big teams need to play for the Nat'l title game.

They at least play Oklahoma, Okie St. and Ohio State the last couple years.
Utah played bum +*+ Michigan (Who won 3 games) and Oregon State.

don't really follow it in depth like I do the NFL and NBA, but it's watchable. Especially around bowl season.

I don't want to hear that BS. Both teams in the title game that year had losses on their record, and certain teams that went undefeated wereleft out because of the $$@$!* up system.
They should be awarded with the chance to play in the biggest game possible because of what they accomplished, despite who they played.
Let them prove their worth in a playoff/bracket format.
And really? Was their schedule even that weak?
-They played Michigan on the road and beat them. Yes, Michigan went 3-9...but road game against Big Ten squad is never a "gimme".
-They played the #3 Pac-10 team (Oregon State) and beat them.
In all, they played five teams that went to bowl games. Oregon State (#24 in AP Poll), BYU (#17 in AP Poll), TCU (#11 in AP Poll), Colorado State and AirForce.
Hardly a horse @*#% schedule

Lately, I've been looking forward to college football a lot.
I don't know what it is, I just watch game after game on Saturdays. And it doesn't have to be the top ranked/big name teams, either.

I ran down the schedules of the other CURRENT members of the conference since 2002 vs. BCS teams and vs. what I call quality mid-major programs.. That group includes the Big Four (TCU, BYU, Utah, and Boise) and then I added in any non-BCS teams they played that were ranked the week they played... Then I tallied records against TCU, BYU, and Utah since 2005 when the current MWC was put together... Obviously that's a little simplistic, but after looking at how it shakes down I don't feel the need to dig any further...
Here's the rundown...
Wyoming
vs. BCS -- 5-10
vs. Ranked BCS -- 0-1
vs. Quality non-BCS -- 3-20
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 0-7
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 2-10 (0-3 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl eligible 2 times; 1-0 in bowls
Air Force
vs. BCS -- 2-5
vs. Ranked BCS -- 0-1
vs. Quality Non-BCS -- 5-17
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 0-8
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 2-12 (0-5 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl Eligible 4 times; 0-3 in bowls
San Diego State
vs. BCS -- 0-13
vs. Ranked BCS -- 0-1
vs. Quality Non-BCS -- 3-17
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 0-6
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 2-11 (0-4 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl Eligible 1 time; Not Invited
UNLV
vs. BCS -- 4-8
vs. Ranked BCS -- 1-0
vs. Quality Non-BCS -- 4-17
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 1-6
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 1-13 (0-5 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl Eligible 1 time; Not Invited
New Mexico
vs. BCS -- 5-12
vs. Ranked BCS -- 0-2
vs. Quality Non-BCS -- 6-13
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 1-3
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 2-10 (0-2 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl Eligible 6 times; 1-4 in bowls
Colorado State
vs. BCS -- 5-12
vs. Ranked BCS -- 1-1
vs. Quality Non-BCS -- 4-18
vs. Ranked non-BCS -- 0-5
vs. TCU, BYU, Utah since 2005 -- 1-13 (0-3 when those teams are ranked)
Bowl Eligible 4 times; 1-3 in bowls
Just so we're clear... Since 2002 the bottom of the Mountain West is rockin' a collective:
-- ZERO Final AP or USA Today Top 25 finishes...
-- 21-60 vs. BCS Teams
-- 2-6 vs. Ranked BCS Teams
-- 25-102 vs. Quality Non-BCS Teams (TCU, BSU, Utah, BYU and ranked non-BCS teams)
-- 2-35 vs. Ranked Non-BCS Teams
-- 10-69 vs. TCU, BYU, and Utah since 2005 when the current MWC was formed and have yet to beat one of those teams while they were ranked...
-- 3-10 in Bowl Games with two teams having not played in a bowl at all...
Case closed.
GTFOOH w/ any MWC team that don't play at least 2 OOC games against ranked opponents.

The rest of their conference is ABYSMAL. Outside of Utah/BYU/TCU.

If college football had a playoff system it'd be perfect.
