I don't think the 4 team playoff will last long..

I really don't see how two SEC teams don't make it...

And if an 11-0 Miss. State loses to 11-0 Ole Miss, then Ole Miss wins the SEC Championship over Georgia (11-2). AND Alabama/Auburn go 11-1? Miss State, Ole Miss, Alabama/Auburn. The SEC deserves 3 teams. FSU the fourth.

Based on what? Collectively beating up on Arkansas and Kentucky? Then losing to each other? Teams play at most 3-4 meaningful games.

I already gave you the numbers for all bowls. Jerry is correct it's pretty comical.

? The horse you rode in on? Or both?

Television ratings for bowl games were down across the board before the BCS games began. Total bowl viewership declined two percent this year according to Al.com, but viewership for the Sugar, Rose and Orange Bowls rose.
...

Viewership for BCS games was strong overall, but the national championship game’s viewership actually dropped five percent from the year before. It still received the highest rating at 14.4, over four points higher than the second place Rose Bowl.

This is a comical back tracking and fabrication of what you wrote, also kinda painful to read.

Sometimes it is okay to admit you were wrong, which you were, and move on.

Do you have a diagram of the % of people actually watching and watching their eye lids? Do you have it by region? Love to see it

College football bowl television viewership declined 2 percent this season, marking the third time in four years total viewers were down, according to an AL.com analysis of Nielsen Media Research data.
...

ESPN's audience for its five BCS games again increased. The Rose, Orange and Sugar all had higher viewership, but Auburn-Florida State tied for the fourth-lowest BCS championship ever with a final 14.4 rating and 25.6 million viewers. Only Alabama-LSU in 2012, Miami-Nebraska in 2002 and USC-Oklahoma in 2005 had lower ratings.

...

Announced bowl attendance declined again to its lowest average in 35 years. Crowds have gone down four straight years.

Also, that's the first time I've been grouped with Mr. Muntz. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I think I may need a shower before bed.

Yeah, I said it was 5.6 million versus 5.7 million the year before. Maybe that is 'sinking' but there are so many variables like weather, matchups, competiting programing that it seems safe enough to call that flat to me.

Strength of Schedule Ratings from TR (LINK)
1. Auburn
2. Texas A&M
3. Alabama
4. Arkansas
5. Mississippi State
6. Kansas State
7. Tennessee
8. Oklahoma
9. Mississippi
10. West Virginia
33. Florida State

I don't understand how you can argue in favor of Florida State or any other team in that matter. Especially over scheduling.

They use poll rankings, preseason rankings too, as the basis for their completely derivative rankings. Over such a small sample it impossible to determine relative strength of schedule across conferences. Which is why the "best conference" argument is a silly one when discussing the merits of individual members. Determine the best team from one population (conference) on the field and then determine the best of the best, on the field.
