How to expand the college footbal playoff to ten teams.


Only slightly worse than the current system
In a past post, I suggested that the NCAA should expand the college football playoff to eight teams with the power five champions each getting a bid, the best group of five champion getting a bid with two wildcards. I think that my earlier idea would be a good idea, if the NCAA acutally had enough power and guts to try it but it likely will not happen. Truth be told, I don't want it to happen. The reason why I oppose it is because it is another stopgap. It appeases the power conferences who are the problem. So I have decided to share a true plan to fix the playoff.

The NCAA FBS pecking order


It is that time of year. A time when people choose with teams who will have a chance to become FBS National Champion. The current playoff system started in 2014. It replaced the BCS. Teams are decided by people based on many factors, records, schedule and conferences. Today I am writing about the conferences. This post will reveal the current FBS conference pecking order.

This is a important factor in determining if your team even has a chance. The fact is that their are certain teams who will never have a chance. Those teams could go undefeated and they would not get in. Now the order

Truths of Fandom (Good Team)


I was sick this weekend & was not able to watch Game 1 of Clippers vs Grizzlies. From what I have heard & seen, it was a very 4th quarter, again. The starters played badly & Coach Lionel Hollins once again made questionable coaching & personal decisions. This has lead my Griz fans to worry about the future. This worry & general lack of knowledge of what to do has lead me to make a post about Truth of Fandom for fans of good teams, truths after the cut.

The Official Memphis Sports Fan 'Sports' Bucket List.

This is a list of things in sports that I would like to see happen before I die. All of the things are stuff I can't control but I still hope will happen. Here it goes.

    1. Memphis Tigers basketball wins the NCAA tournment. Every Tiger fan wants this.
    2. Memphis Grizzlies win NBA title. This could happen soon if only the NBA lockout end.
    3. St. Rams winning another Super Bowl.
    4. Lakers passing the Celtics for most NBA titles.
    5. The founding of a Memphis based wrestling company with a Unified World Heavyweight champion. Hopefully called the USWA. I miss the USWA & current wrestling is still weak.
    6. True NCAA college football playoff.
    7. Yankees crushing the Red Sox again. Just to shut Red Sox fans up.
    8. A non BCS school winning the BCS title. Ruining the big conferences fun.
    9. Tiger Woods being awesome again. I want to see the Tiger haters have meltdowns.
    10. Memphis Redbirds win AAA title. They made it to the AAA Championship series once I just want them to win it.
    11. Memphis womens basketball becoming a major power. I want them to be view the way the men's team is currently viewed.
    12. Memphis football in a BCS game. I dream big, sue me.
    13. Either Mark Henry, MVP, Shelton Benjamin or R-Truth as a Major World Champion.
    14. USA men's soccer winning a World Cup. 
    15. Memphis men's basketball with a winning record against Tennessee & Louisville. The fact that this still has not happens saddens me.
    16. Memphis women's team beating a Pat Summet coached UT team.
    17. Memphis football beating UT again. I just want to see UT fans cry again.
    18. Marc Gasol being considered the better Gasol brother. It already true but I want other people to admit it.
    19. AROD catching Bonds' home run record & setting it so high Pujols can't catch it. Go AROD GO!
    20. Memphis Tigers basketball having local TV games. Because the C-USA TV deal is stupid.
There is more but chances are most this won't happen.

This isn't on my list but it would still be cool if they were used once.

& NOW I AM MAD!!!

It's official THE D-1A FOOTBALL SYSTEM IS STUPID. BCS IS BROKE & SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. WHY AM I UPSET BOISE DROPS IN THE POLLS. NOW THIS WAS TO BE EXPECTED CONSIDERING BOISE BIGGEST WIN (VATECH) LOST TO AN 1AA SCHOOL. MY PROBLEM IS WITH WHO JUMPED THEM OREGON. YOU SEE THE LAST TWO SEASON THE TWO SCHOOLS HAVE PLAYED & GUESS WHAT IS BOISE 2-0.  OREGON WAS RANKED 8# THE 1ST GAME IN 2008 & 14# THE 2ND IN 2009. IN 2009 OREGON WON THE PAC-10 SO THEY WERE GOOD. I AM NOT SAYING BOISE IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO DROP THEM 

                           PICK A TEAM THAT I DON'T KNOW
                    THEY CAN BEAT OK

Dead Blog posts, Big 12 is in trouble. Suggestion time.

  The Big 12 is dying, again. This time Texas and Oklahoma are leaving to go to the SEC.
