Addressed mistakes: Accidentally said New Orleans instead of Illinois when mentioning the 2008 Rose Bowl game Said Birmingham instead of Brigham Young Miss pronounced “Vols” Enjoy the rest of the video!
I was literally trying to explain to my lil bro how they used to do shit before the BCS and he couldn’t believe they use to just vote on a National Champion 😂 we came a long way
@@RobbieStacks90 UCLA surrendered almost 700 yards, almost 400 rushing, blew a 10-point lead, lost 2 fumbles and gave up 49 points……but sure, blame the refs…..
CFP has had its controversies. The hunt for a champion had destroyed tradition, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if they dumped nation champions in favor of keeping tradition
Mike Leach said it best - as long as there’s a committee, it’s not a true playoff. The current CFP is nothing more than an invitational. Expanding the number of teams helps, sure, but it’s just a bigger invitational. Get rid of the committee and the arbitrary/inconsistent selection process. Do what the FCS, D2, and D3 do. Maybe then FBS will have an NCAA-sanctioned playoff (though that may not matter soon, given the NCAA’s irrelevancy)
@@joegreezy no one ever questions NDSU's dynasty run because the FCS playoffs aren't determined by a committee. The NCAA has clear, non-arbitrary rules written out on how playoff teams are selected. These rules don't change year-to-year because there's no committee debating best vs. most deserving team, and changing the rules whenever they feel like it.
@@jerseyhead.u idk which side you stand on but just because a team is more talented should never come into play it should always be most deserving the problem is peoples opinions differ in what makes you the most deserving
Is this what you were working towards? You've never done a video over 20 minutes before. Bud, i just finished the video. This is special, sir. You don't suffer from the pace problem at all. You speak very well. Your editing is a++. I'm a junkie for long form docs. You did a fantastic job here.
Hilariously, I feel like this video isn’t as good as it could be because it took over three months from research, to recording to finding and editing clips. I feel my cadence etc is much better now but at least people are enjoying it😭
@@TRockNFL dude, really? This is excellent work. Do not let a view count fool you on this project if it doesn't hit. I'm assuming the research was a fairly lengthy process. The recording and editing are right up there with some of the channels I watch that only do long form docs. You got it down cold first try. As for cadence, it's a little fast, but that's it man. If that's my only criticism on a debut LFD, then I'm going to say you're gifted. Finally, the sports genre has very few guys that do long form. This was one subject covered end to end, not a compilation. That's unreal. Metaphorically, on your first slam dunk attempt ever, you decide to try a 360, Between the legs, blindfolded and hit it. You really have something here. Take the time. I'd love to see one on the Playoff and how it was arguably less legit than the BCS. You got a permanent sub in me.
Yeah i rly like that he just gets right to the point too is just bam! content. I can't stand when a long form doc just beats and beats and beats arround the bush never adressing the content the vid was about. This one is gold
Ok I also think it’s their entitled status and back then they were making money had over fist with the exclusive NBC sports tv deal for home games to be broadcast live at the same time 3:00 p.m. for every year since 1992.
Notre Dame’s average margin of defeat in big bowl games since 1990 is around 20 points. It’s pathetic. They aren’t even covering the spread in these games. Most overrated program of all time
@@RadicallyOptimistic like the Cowboys are in the NFL. It all about the money to them but have a they have lot of tradition and diehards. However it don’t automatically give you the win and it actually motivates the teams even more to beat them in the big games if they make it far enough.
That Boise State-Nevada game, I watched that game as a 14-year-old, that was one of the craziest games I've ever seen. The kicker just kept MISSING for Boise State.
That game lost a lot of its importance when Auburn made its 24 point comeback earlier in the day against Alabama. The Mark Ingram fumble in that game changed the stakes because an Alabama win would have meant that all Boise had to do was win out to play in the national championship game.
The BCS was a complete disaster. This playoff system isn't perfect, but for me, a playoff system is always better than allowing computers eliminate teams.
@@GKAaron11 na the FCS has had a playoff for years and doesn't use computers. The FBS has just been resistant to change because money well that and it was never suppose to have a national championship it was suppose to be you get bowl games and tons of money but no champion.
@@masterragebaiter see last season we started out shit losing to South Alabama and we ended up in the big 12 championship game somehow cause OU shit the bed against Kansas. Then we played Texas who let’s be honest was going to beat the dogshit out of us and we just couldn’t compete unfortunately. But we did win our bowl game is against the cumstain of college football Texas A&M so hopefully this year we can make the big 12 game and maybe a playoff spot
Glad someone made a vid on this, people worship the BCS like it was the best thing ever, in reality it was extremely limiting and flawed, showing why a playoff is necessary. I just with we didn't get all the other stuff with the 12 team format...
Fr bro. I see ppl saying “bring back the BCS” when some of the BCS decisions were ALOT worse than the CFP. Idk if ppl have amnesia, or if ppl just so stuck in nostalgia, that they just ignore the bs that the bcs had
@@dmdubb3129 100% nostalgia, I was too young then to know much about it, I’m for sure wanting for the conferences back then tho, that alignment was perfect imo
My issue is the same bias that makes the BCS a headache still impact playoffs, such as Florida state getting left out last year inorder to really show everyone that Alabama really didn't deserve the good will hat tip that got them in. Though this gets fixed with a 12 team playoff, the bias is still present when winning a conference championship doesn't ensure a playoff spot. Now, if it's only a Pac-2 getting left out because it's a one game conference season, I can respect that, give them Notre dame criteria to get in. Perfectly, I think every conference with 8 teams gets playoff spots, expands playoffs to 16, and have 6 at large bids, conference champions get home field against any at large, second round gets a re-seed and highest reseeded team gets home, neutral site for semi-finals and championship. I am okay with power big 10 and SEC taking all at large bids, my issue is the concerted effort to prevent a michigan vs Appalachia state circa 2007 but in the playoffs this time. Essentially they only want money schools to play and minimize small market schools to maximize profits instead of crowning a champion like any other level of football does
@@loon1994espn had a part in why the SEC had like a 7 year winning streak until Florida State got its revenge in the last year of the 2 team computer system.
@@loon1994so let me get this straight you still think Alabama didn’t deserve to be there and the FSU team who lost 63-3 to Georgia I mean are you serious? I’m so happy FSU fans got to see their team get shown the door in week 0 😆😆😆 it’s the Alabama invitational every year with the 12 team playoff can’t wait.
The BCS sucked. Even worse when they started the BCS National Championship Game and would play at the Rose Bowl but it wasn't even the Rose Bowl Also because the SEC verses everyone else because ESPN and the BCS were in love with the SEC.
@ryanpatrick4920 nil has been on place for not even five years. Drawing any sort of conclusion on such a small sample of games never comes back and bites anyone right?
@ryanpatrick4920 you mean the era in which the sec has won two out of three natties? That sounds like sec dominance at the highest level. Well Texas is the #1 ranked team in the country. And who has a better OOC win than them? Sec dominance will continue by and large. They have the most money and the most resources.
Amazing editing and overall quality bro!! This should 100% have more views. I’m a CFB fiend and I’m so happy this was recommended for me. Please don’t stop creating dude. Seriously epic. 🎉
I don't care how flawed the BCS was, this era in CFB history was the best imho. Every game mattered, athletes didn't skip bowl games, and best college gameday crews! The controversies are what made it exciting to me! As matter of fact the sports popularity during this time skyrocketed! The ABC college football theme music, classic games, goat athletes, and colossal upsets. EAs NCAA Football 2002 - 2006 Goated! I fell in love with college football during this time. It was great growing up as a teenager in the 2000s. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Your channel deserves more subs!
@@lilbeckham9 This is a myth. The BCS was already on its way out even before the 2011 season ended. And the “logic” was fine: “you have two one-loss teams in the running, which team is better”? The ultimate result proves that the eye test was the best test.
I think Alabama would have demolished Oklahoma State if they played each other in a playoff game. The 2011 Alabama team is the most dominant Alabama team I saw other than 2020. They were loaded with NFL talent
I have been watching college football since I was 10. I am 57 now. I lived through a portion of the Gifting Era and all of the BCS and 4 team playoff eras. While this video was outstanding from the viewpoint of someone who did not live through those eras, it really does not point out the reality of what was going on. The video highlights what the sports media was fueling and wanting people to fight over. Their attacks on the BCS obviously worked and this video is evidence of that. The BCS getting scrapped had more to do with wounded egos amongst the power elite in the BIG 10 and PAC 10 and the BIG 8 more than anything else and of course money but that is a given. Throw in the media constantly attacking the BCS due to it being stripped of its gifting power and what you got what was the creator of this video was talking about ... the "Controversys" where each was manufactured by the media to stir the appropriate fans bases into a frenzy over nothing. Strength of Schedule was unpopular because the OG conferences were weaker than southern football teams and they were being judged as such by the IMPARTIAL computers. The computers simply crunched the numbers and spit out the best teams with zero bias. It rankled the feathers of the OG and the media, with the media looking to destroy the BCS for afore mentioned reasons, they were all too happy to fuel the fire. The break down is as follows: 1925 - 1997 - (known as the Gifting Era) This was the era of West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 bias with an occasional sprinkle of east coast teams and a heavy dose of Independents largely represented by Notre Dame. Sportswriters gifted out National Titles to all their favorites while ignoring southern football. Every once in awhile they would throw the SEC a bone but for the most part it was all the West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 teams that were gifted what was widely known as the "Mythical National Championship" (the MNC). On to the breakdown: During this era the East Coast had 5 teams win the MNC, The BIG 10 had 13 MNC, The west coast (PAC 10) and the westward teams of the BIG 8 had 18 MNC, the SWC had 5 MNC, and Independents had 14 MNC with Notre Dame getting 9 of them. The SEC had 8 MNC with Alabama getting 5 of those. Some years had co-MNC so the numbers are off as far as total years vs MNC Teams. So as you can see the bias wasn't towards the east coast teams but heavily in favor of Notre Dame, The BIG 10, the west coast and westward leaning teams of the BIG 8. There were 73 MNC's gifted out during this era and the SEC only got 8 of them. We always said down here that if there ever came a day where teams actually had to EARN the title as opposed to it being GIFTED to them, that the SEC would rise to prominence. 1998 - 2013 (The BCS Era) - Hallelujah the day had finally come!!! Teams finally had to earn the title on the field of play regardless of what teams were in the title game they had to play for it ... finally. The best part was that computers were the ones deciding what teams were #1 and #2 and playing for a real National Title which removed the human bias and drove the sports media absolutely nuts because their power to control the MNC was gone so naturally the media lambasted the BCS at every turn trying to boot it and gain their power back. What they did not expect was that the result of their attacks would be the formation of a new system called the 4 team Playoff otherwise known as the Playoff Era. Now we have to add the number 4 to this era due to the expansion of the playoffs and a new era, the 12 Team Playoff Era. The BCS Era also exposed a vast gap between the SEC and the rest of the country with the SEC winning 9 of the 15 BCS National Championships including a run of 7 in a row for the SEC in the later years of the BCS. This of course ruffled the feathers of the OG who benefited most from the Gifting Era and they started clamoring for a playoff system where they could get more of their teams involved and have a better shot at winning National Championships. The sports media weren't exactly happy with this prospect because they were hoping to regain their Gifting Power. The push to form the 4 Team Playoff received minimal coverage in the sports media. 2014 - 2023 - The 4 team Playoff Era - The OG elite got their way and a 4 team playoff era was born with a HUGE difference, gone were the impartial computers and they inserted new bias in the form of humans once again, a committee, who would decide which 4 teams got to have a shot at the National Title in the 4 team playoffs. The OG mindset was the more teams they could stuff into the playoffs the better the odds a team from the OG would win the title. The problem was ..... it didi not work out the way they planned. While the BIG 10 did manage to win the first 4 Team Playoff Era title with Ohio State picking up the trophy, the rest was downhill for the OG. The BIG 10 won a whopping 2 of the 10 titles won during the 4 Team Playoff Era. The SEC won 6 of the 10, and the ACC won 2. Needless to say the OG was NOT happy as the SEC dominated this Era as well. This whole thing with having to actually earn the title on the field of play was sucking for the OG. Since the start of the BCS Era the SEC had gained a stranglehold on the world of college football. This was great for the SEC who languished under the lash of the Gifting Era knowing they has a superior product down south because "It Just Means More" was a thing long before it became official. These southern folks live, breath, eat and crap football and it showcased itself during the BCS Era and the 4 team Playoff Era. So with the OG being beside themselves something had to be done .... again. Admittedly, with the SEC dominating college football for so long, this created a lack of parity and thus fans from non-SEC teams started losing interest and hope that their favorite teams would ever win a National Title in this era of earning it on the field. They took to attacking and trying to somehow discredit the accomplishments of the SEC and its teams. This was no good for sure so what could be done to appease the OG's butt hurt feelings and appease the fans as well ..... add more teams to the playoffs of course AND this is also why the conference re-alignments occurred. The [powers that be thought that by convincing Oklahoma and Texas (2 traditionally strong teams) to move to the SEC that it would create more of a struggle for the SEC teams to advance. The divisions were scrapped in the SEC to make this more effective. Texas was given the easiest of SEC schedules this year to ease them into the fire while OU was just plain thrown under the bus. When the SEC powers that be were throwing together the SEC conference schedule for this season, they made the Texas schedule just ridiculously easy as far as the prognostication of what teams were expected to be like a couple years ago when they made these schedules. They threw GA in there to make the schedule look more legit but then gerrymandered where and when that game would be played. They scheduled the game as a Home game for Texas on the F1 Grand Prix weekend .... which traditionally Texas does not play a Home game that weekend because there are a limited number of hotel rooms available for the traveling fan bases. Insert an illegally placed referee (whose son attends Texas and by rule cannot be assigned to officiate this game) and they got a payoff ... sort of in the form of a horrendously pro-Texas called game including an illegally over-turned PI call via Instant replay via the use of the Jumbotrons AFTER the Texas fans halted game play in a temper tantrum worthy of a spoiled 3 year old but the SEC powers that be were reasonably confident that Texas could beat GA in this game with the odds stacked against them. OOPS. What they did not figure in is that Texas and OU have been playing in the weaker conference of the BIG 8 and SWC which basically merged and became the BIG 12 for all intents and purposes. When a team gets used to soft competition in their conference and rise to the top of that softer conference, they really lose the grit needed to play tougher teams which showed in the playoff era as OU kept getting bounced over and over. Texas only made it once during the BCS Era. Now those 2 teams have run into the buzz saw that is the SEC. As is evident with the tossing of the Divisions in the SEC, now the power teams play each other a lot more thus the SEC is cannibalizing itself most effectively thus allowing room for other teams to make the playoffs. The SEC powers that be could not foresee that Texas A+M, Vandy and even Kentucky to a degree would be doing this well so far in the season or they might not have put all 3 of the Texas schedule because all 3 were cellar dwellers when the schedules were made and Tennessee was only middling. So here we are at the dawn of the 12 Team Playoff Era and the OG is hoping to make a bigger splash with the odds now stacked against the SEC. Only time will tell.
I will never forget that Oregon State vs. Notre Dame game. I have never seen a team get beat down that physically ever. I still compare every physical game to that one.
Bittersweet memories watching this amazing documentary. Having loved on Boise State since the 90's and then watching their meteoric rise along with Utah and TCU it was awesome to finally get a shot at playing the 'big boys' in BCS bowl games and WINNING to prove our worth (SWEET), we still had to endure the heartache year-after-year-after-year of NEVER getting a chance to go ALL the way to play for a National Championship (BITTER). Finally...freaking FINALLY, they will now get their chance. Why, oh WHY did it take so long?

Most of that is your personal opinion. As a Pac 12 fan they put us against the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl and left us out of the championship picture. What happened in 1996? Florida was gifted a championship and Arizona St was screwed over.
@zeaferjones1404 Uh ya. Thats what I said. East coast biased. And ya. Az State was screwed that yr. Same with BYU that season. They picked Penn St for over BYU for the Fiesta Bowl.
@@zeaferjones1404 While there is some opinion in my post the vast majority is fact. I researched all that information and I lived through those eras. I know what was going on first hand. As far as Florida being gifted a Natty in 96 ... that was during the Bowl Alliance Era (predecessor to the BCS) and at that point humans were still calling the shots. It was not until the BCS came into play that humans were removed from the decision making process.
@@muerkier I'm just saying the Pac 10 got screwed during the human poll era they didn't favor teams on the West unless you are talking about the Big 12. I will say during that era they favored ACC teams and Big 12 teams. However the beginning of the BCS was similar with Miami and Nebraska screwing over Oregon. SEC didn't start getting the East Coast Bias treatment until Tebow's Florida teams but once they did it got ridiculous with a one loss Alabama jumping one loss Oregon in 2012 just cuz.
Somehow, someway, WVU finished 3-0 in BCS bowl games. Also, 13-9 may as well be on my gravestone. That will haunt me until the heat death of the universe. Excellent work on this. This was a great recap of what is was like being in the Big East and now Big 12 through all this weirdness.
The 1993 undefeated year breaks my heart too. The team was so broken hearted i think they didn't give a crap about the bowl game that year. It seems they didn't even try in that game after being snubbed.
The end of the BCS was just highlighting the problem at the time, and the problem that Corso said without saying. Networks and these "Experts" calling teams pretenders because they either aren't in a conference that they love, or aren't Blue Bloods. Its all about the ratings for the networks. This is why there literally shouldn't be any debate for the majority of the playoff field. Top 4 seeds should be as they are, power conference winners with a Bye. Then seeds 5-8 should be a combination of G5 and Independent conference winners. Then let the SEC/BIG10 selection committee pick their precious ratings babies for seeds 9-12. If you don't like that process because it's "Unfair" all I can say to you and your school is "Cool, win your Conference so it doesn't matter." There is 0 reason a 2+ Loss non conference winning team should be hosting a playoff game. Having said all of this, the CFB Playoff is the right call, but having a selection committee that is clearly going to have its strings pulled to favor SEC/BIG10 schools is asinine.
Pretty easy to look dominate, when you prohibit quality teams from even playing you for a title. Yeah Alabama was a good team, but in NEITHER championship did they play teams with a top 3 offense and wouldnt you know it but teams with that criteria were in contention for playing for a title in both 2009 and 2011. How good is your defense really - if you dont have to play these teams?
@@MattBuild4 Alabama can’t control that. Also it’s easy to say they didn’t play a top 3 offense but you’re ignoring that in 2011 they played one of the best defenses of all time. Do I need to read the 2009 Florida roster off to you? Besides Alabama they were the best team in the country. Alabama beat them. They ended up playing Texas in the Natty and what happened happened. Im sure if Texas won you wouldn’t gripe so much about it. Defense always wins championships and it especially did then. No one truly thinks Alabama wouldn’t have beaten Boise State or needed to to prove themselves😂
@@MattBuild4That makes no sense. The fact that teams had to be top 2 to even make the championship at the time just shows how impressive it was. If they been had a playoff system like the nfl, I guarantee that Alabama would've won more championships. They would've gotten in every year and not many teams would've beaten Bama to be honest.
The BCS was basically the voters who used to decide who the top 2 teams were in the final rankings and, subsequently, who got to play for the natty, attempting to take the heat off of themselves that they were constantly taking by fan bases of non-traditional powers who would get consistently F’d out of their chance to play for the title mostly based on bias, and getting them to shift that heat onto computers who would spit out their final BCS score in terms of points to determine the final top 25 rankings of the season. The problem with that was, the computers were still only one of the elements in determining the final BCS scores, and their only use was calculating strength of schedule and then the final BCS points (scores) for each team factoring in strength of schedule, average position in human polls, etc. There was still the human bias element of involving average team ranking in the human polls as part of the final BCS score. And to add to this, the strength of schedule (computer metric) was programmed with bias, as the SEC is always viewed as being so much better than the other conferences that over 50% of their conference on average would start the season ranked in the top 25 in human polls (even though the majority would go on to prove they weren’t worthy by seasons end) which subsequently always gave the SEC Champs and even the runner up a better strength of schedule metric which was calculated by the computers than the other conference champs. It’s almost like the voters knew it wouldn’t stop the controversy but they felt like maybe it would help alleviate some of the heat they would take by people shifting their complaints towards the BCS system itself instead of directly at them. Perhaps they already felt like the future of college football was a playoff and the BCS was their way to buy them some time until evolution took its course.
As an Oregon fan and Pac 12 fan I now realize the East Coast Bias was worse than I thought. I was actually fooled into thinking Oregon was close to making it in 2001 and Washington was close to making it in 2000 but were screwed over. However it is worse than being screwed over we were an afterthought based on this guys commentary.
@jeffreekoch9298 I actually do think Oregon St was the best team because their only loss was them being cheated at Washington. However Washington did beat Miami, Oregon St. and later a Drew Brees Purdue team. So it is an easy argument to make with Florida St fans but on eye test Oregon St was the best team.
Make a top 25 playoff. What's the point of ranking 25 teams and not having them play for the championship??? I say make it where only the #1 ranked team should have a 1st rd bye and 2-25 dukes it out in the 1st round.Ppl love a Cinderella story....
Since 2000, college football has had the exact same number of different programs win the national championship as college basketball (with the 68 teams in basketball playoffs). More teams does not mean more championship parity. I agree more playoff games would be fun from a fan perspective, but the big programs/best teams will still win it all.
I remember in 2011 Oklahoma state had lost that game against Iowa state. Before that game, Kurt budke (the woman basketball coach)and an assistant coach had passed away. I heard many excuses as to why they had lost that game, but the dumbest one had to be because Kurt had passed away and it affected the players.
I certainly sympathize for Oklahoma State and their tragedy. But ultimately, I agree that this excuse doesn't hold up. OKSt had a 2nd half 17-point lead over Iowa State that they let slip through their fingers - thus putting them at the mercy of the Coaches and Harris Poll voters (a few of whom I believe did play funny games by ranking the Cowboys 5th or 6th).
I wouldnt call Kansas St cinderellas. They were legit domintate back in the mid '90s - mid '00s . Championship contenders most years. They did get disrespected at times tho. I think too much past memories of their horrible years during the '70s and '80s haunted them. It would be like if Vanderbilt were to all of a sudden become a powerhouse for a decade. The poll voters wouldnt adjust well. Florida State and Miami kinda went through the same thing back in the '80s when they finally broke through as dominate teams. They both stunk for many years during the '60s and '70s.
How does FCS, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA, Junior College, and 3C2A have a much more organized post-season than the FBS is beyond me. If they're really going to do a playoff then they should get rid of the bowl system because you can't do both on a consistent amount of time.
@@M_11_m41n Because those leagues didn’t get millions in bowl game TV rights payouts. FBS tried a playoff vote in 1980 and were told by the networks they would not pay millions for quarterfinal play-in games.
@@BrandonSmith-be2qu Although I think Florida was a better team than Texas, you are correct. After all, Alabama had just played Florida. The other teams as history has shown since then were paper tigers who do not play at the same level. Yes, they can win a single individual game, but that is not the same as playing the schedule.
Oh yeah you can...... TCU beat 3 Top 25 teams, ranked #4 in offense, #1 in defense and led the league in margin of victory. They beat higher ranked teams than Texas and beat ranked teams by a larger margin than Texas. Boise State was back to back undefeated (3rd undefeated season in 4 years), ranked #1 in offense, ranked #9 in defense, had the 2nd highest margin of victory in the league, and was the only other team than Alabama to beat top 10 opponents during the season. Objectively why is Texas miles above this?
@@Maestrohbill You do not appreciate how fierce the MWC was in this era nor how insanely stacked TCU and Boise State were. If you are comparing recent G5 teams to these teams that is a fatally grave mistake. These teams are not NIU vs ND or UC vs ND. BSU vs #7 Oregon 09 WASNT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE the whole game. They didnt allow Oregon a FIRST DOWN til the 3rd quarter.
@@MattBuild4 You are hung up on statistics that do not mean jack squat. This can be proven over and over, but you're selectively choosing to make non-points here. What CFB team had the best offense in 2016? Western Kentucky, who led the nation in both yardage (523 pg) and points (45.5). They played Alabama, I was at the game. The final score was 38-10, and WKU's "best offense in the country" only had 239 yards and 10 points, and they got their TD only late against the fourth stringers when they got to start at the 26-yard line. Alabama's DEFENSE had as many TDs as WKU's OFFENSE did. And for the record, Boise was 0-for-the-SEC at the point you're talking about. The idea Boise played a tougher schedule than Texas is laughably absurd. Furthermore, let's look at the chicanery you're using to argue - "Boise was the only team other than Alabama to beat Top 10 opponents DURING the season?" Uh, who did they beat that was in the top 10? If you're trying to say "TCU", they beat TCU AFTER THE BCS was decided, which let's just say is a little disingenuous. And Oregon was ranked #11, not in the top ten. But you're looking at it all wrong anyway. Look at the 2009 Boise schedule and NAME THE TEAM that beats Texas or Florida or Alabama. You can't becuase there aren't any. Now be honest - do you REALLY, I mean enough to bet a house on it REALLY - think Boise plays 3 straight non-home games against Oklahoma, Missouri, and OK State in three straight weeks and emerges unscathed? You know better than that. Do you think they play three straight weeks ON THE ROAD against KY, Ole Miss, and S Carolina and go unbeaten as Alabama did? Come on, you know better than that. Oh btw - what happened in 2009 when Boise actually did play a P5 team with their juggernaut offense? They scored 19 points (oregon) and 17 points (TCU). Now, do you honestly think they score that against GOOD defenses? TCU didn't lose to Boise in the 2010 Fiesta because Boise was an unstoppable offense, they lost because they turned the ball over 3 times. Boise's OFFENSE scored 10 points in that game (one was a pick six). So please don't do this kind of analysis and expect to be taken seriously. Boise State got offered a one-shot deal with Alabama after this game and refused by making impossible demands. They wanted either a home and home - no way Alabama is losing the money to play in that smaller than a high school stadium - or they wanted to be PAID LIKE A CUPCAKE while insisting they were a big deal. You're one or the other. They wanted cupcake money but to be treated like a big deal.
@@MattBuild4 If this was true, Utan and TCU would be cleaning up in their conferences now, but they aren't. I'm sorry, but the MWC wasn't that tough. Who did 2010 TCU play? Four MWC cupcakes, an FCS team, a 5-7 overrated Oregon St, a military academy team of "not one guy here is going pro", and the train wreck known as SMU. BYU was okay and Utah was decent, so TCU had a two-game regular season and then a month to prepare for Wisconsin. I'm NOT saying they were a bad team, I'm saying they didn't belong in the discussion with Auburn and Oregon. Auburn beat five ranked teams (one twice for six) and then held the Oregon explosive offense to 19 points (they'd averaged 49.3 ppg and were held 30 points below average by one of the worst defenses to ever win the national championship). Oregon, well, not so tough a schedule admittedly but had an easier time on the road with the best non-conference team on TCU's schedule (5-7 OSU) than TCU did, too.
The 2001 BcS championship spot ultimately came down to Colorado and Washington State not making up their game that was cancelled due to 9/11. Both teams ended the season in the top ten, so a Colorado win would have been enough SOS boost to leap past Nebraska for the spot. A Wazzu win both hurts the Big 12 SOS and gives Oregon an additional boost since they beat the Cougs in OT earlier in the season. It might have even opened up the door for Wazzu to sneak into the game, since their replacement game against Montana State took place on what should have been their bye week prior to the Oregon game. No matter what, Miami would have a different sacrificial lamb.
Actually wrong because it wasn't the game against Washington State, it was their loss to Fresno State that cost them the chance. That's the big one, they also lost to Texas in regular season.
@@sorney98 as it stands now, yes. But Colorado did not actually replace their game against Wazzu with another game since they already had an extra game on the schedule that year. Had they added a win against a Pac-10 contender on the road (as opposed to no game at all), it would have been enough to jump Nebraska in the BcS standings.
@@sorney98 read my original post. If Wazzu wins, Oregon makes the title game, with Wazzu having an outside chance at the game themselves since in this scenario they would have a bye week prior to the Oregon game that they lost in OT.
@@54raynor even had thar game happened one way or other, I don't think either jump. Reason being Nebraska lost on the road. Colorado's lost to Fresno and Oregon's lost to Stanford were at home big reason why Nebraska got the leap over both. Only way Colorado had a shot is had the loss was at Fresno State. And same can be said for Oregon at Stanford.
Great video you really covered everything a video like this is very necessary with the annnoying revisionist history going rn of people claiming this system was better then the current
Thank you man, I won’t lie, I was for a playoff of up to eight teams but I wasn’t against a 12/16 playoff for the sake of devaluing the regular season. But now that I look at it, there will be no more NY6 Bowl opt outs and the home campus playoff games sound amazing. And I find it hard to believe a fluke team will ever make a national championship again, as you’d have to go through three/four of the best teams in three country in a row😳
If you select TWO games for the championship there will be complaints. Increase it to 4 - ditto. Increase it to 12 - ditto. Increase it to 16 - ditto. Get the picture? IMO if the playoff gets in all the teams who reasonably could claim to be deserving to play for a championship and you should be good. Eight teams would be overkill if the season results mean anything anymore. If the season doesn't matter there is no more season. Everybody is in the playoff day one. Just for example we will pick 120 teams. Have a couple warm up games. Playoffs take 8 weeks and we are done. Simple. Why are we at 12 teams and probably going to 16? All this mess is because of battles for prestige, power and $$$ period. This is killing the sport. If the court agreement is approved, the players are also moving to the precipice of a cliff. Crossing that invisible line equals employee status for the players and the ability to be fired. What a mess that would be. SMH

@@jbertot11 Upsets do happened. Yes a team of legendary Oregon players are going to be the underdog against a team of legendary NFL players. I just think that game would have been competitive while Nebraska was already deflated from getting destroyed by Colorado.
And now it’ll be 16 next year, I’m mostly excited for the fact it’ll be no more opt outs in historic games like the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta and Orange Bowl now
I think this system will bring back some of the glory of the bowls. It definitly sets some of the bowls above the others at least. The Orange Bowl should be more important than the Vegas Bowl.
correction, @ 30:46 USC played at FedEX Field in Landover , MD. Esstentially it was a homegame for Va Tech since they had alot of fans int he area... great video btw
That’s rightttt, I remember now seeing highlights of that game and USC was in home jerseys. Thank you for the correction (I’m only 18). When you see that VA tech @ USC on ESPN or PFR you just run with it lol
What brought down the BCS was the BCS itself. Just because two teams are RANKED one and two does not mean they are necessarily the BEST two teams. A playoff should have been put in place instead.
I liked the BCS despite it not being perfect. Not saying it should make a return but I still liked no playoff better because of the build up to the championship all winter and the bowl games still hold their tie ins and their significance
As a Virginia Tech fan/alum, I would have loved to see Michael Vick go out in a BCS Bowl. The 2000 season had so many 1-loss teams (similar to 2008), some such as ours got left out altogether. We did balance it out with our at-large in 2011, though a controversial TD overturning in OT forever leaves a sour taste in my mouth about that one. I think one thing the NY6 process - and now the 12-team CFP - improved upon was giving the at-large spots to the highest-ranked teams (which would have helped us in 2000, or would have helped Boise State and Kansas State in 2011).
Somehow in 2011 NO G5 team made a BCS bowl at all despite 3 teams ranked in the top 15........ yet the Orange bowl literally had #16 Clemson vs #23 West Virginia. This is one of many examples of why NOBODY in the P5 should complain about the G5 making a 12 team playoffs.
BCS is one of the most dumbest systems ever created. It was like they was trying their best to not have a playoff system. Like bruh just have a playoffs with at least 14 teams. All this computer shit and this and that and this team best this team by such and such points..it was stupid Football is played on the field not paper and computers..A lot of teams lost out on competing for a national championship due to this
Human subjective polling made up a majority of the vote post 2001, so its not just on the computers. And the system we have today is entirely reliant on subjectivity and shocker it has not been good.
@davealmighty9638 that's off decades of success thanks to Nick Saban. Ofc youre going to recruit well off the backs of Sabans run. And a lot of those kids Saban had already recruited. We'll have to give Deboer a full recruiting cycle to really judge how he can recruit. He had 2 years to do it at Washington but who is to say that Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan were even his recruits because they weren't. Deboer is a great coach but the sample size is small considering recruiting. He hasn't been at any big time school long enough to give him credit for a #2 recruiting class. Also, Saban has stuck around and has helped keep those kids at Bama who were about to flip. So, they are #2 because they are Bama. Not because of Deboer. Partly because but mostly because this is Alabama and because of recency (Saban legacy)
Spitballing but I feel that a point system combined with relegation/promotion between G5 and P5 would have been pretty awesome. Just would have taken away the whole playoff “national championship game” feel but at least you’d get a clear cut champion
Before anyone comes for my neck on this I will say there are a lot of high school systems that do this sort of thing but it’s based on success factor and size of school. In my state for example if you win 3 state titles in a row or something like that you automatically have to move up a class regardless of what your turnover is. So a strong single class that wins a 1A school 3 state titles could all graduate and then they get smashed the next year in the playoff

@@harper-leightonscott4566what about the Rose Bowl BIG10 PAC12 tradition. The BCS impacted tradition just as much as the CFP
Mike Leach said it best - as long as there’s a committee, it’s not a true playoff. The current CFP is nothing more than an invitational. Expanding the number of teams helps, sure, but it’s just a bigger invitational. Get rid of the committee and the arbitrary/inconsistent selection process. Do what the FCS, D2, and D3 do. Maybe then FBS will have an NCAA-sanctioned playoff (though that may not matter soon, given the NCAA’s irrelevancy)
I agree it’s dumb
@@joegreezy no one ever questions NDSU's dynasty run because the FCS playoffs aren't determined by a committee. The NCAA has clear, non-arbitrary rules written out on how playoff teams are selected.

Notre Dame has been getting exposed in big games since the year I was born and I’m a college graduate😂

@@RadicallyOptimistic like the Cowboys are in the NFL. It all about the money to them but have a they have lot of tradition and diehards. However it don’t automatically give you the win and it actually motivates the teams even more to beat them in the big games if they make it far enough.
If it makes you feel better. Notre Dame hasn’t won a national championship since the year I was born 😂😂😂.
That Boise State-Nevada game, I watched that game as a 14-year-old, that was one of the craziest games I've ever seen. The kicker just kept MISSING for Boise State.
That game lost a lot of its importance when Auburn made its 24 point comeback earlier in the day against Alabama. The Mark Ingram fumble in that game changed the stakes because an Alabama win would have meant that all Boise had to do was win out to play in the national championship game.
FCK you for even bringing that game up.....FCK Nevada too for that matter 😡

My issue is the same bias that makes the BCS a headache still impact playoffs, such as Florida state getting left out last year inorder to really show everyone that Alabama really didn't deserve the good will hat tip that got them in. Though this gets fixed with a 12 team playoff, the bias is still present when winning a conference championship doesn't ensure a playoff spot. Now, if it's only a Pac-2 getting left out because it's a one game conference season, I can respect that, give them Notre dame criteria to get in.
Perfectly, I think every conference with 8 teams gets playoff spots, expands playoffs to 16, and have 6 at large bids, conference champions get home field against any at large, second round gets a re-seed and highest reseeded team gets home, neutral site for semi-finals and championship. I am okay with power big 10 and SEC taking all at large bids, my issue is the concerted effort to prevent a michigan vs Appalachia state circa 2007 but in the playoffs this time. Essentially they only want money schools to play and minimize small market schools to maximize profits instead of crowning a champion like any other level of football does
@@loon1994espn had a part in why the SEC had like a 7 year winning streak until Florida State got its revenge in the last year of the 2 team computer system.

@ryanpatrick4920 you mean the era in which the sec has won two out of three natties? That sounds like sec dominance at the highest level. Well Texas is the #1 ranked team in the country. And who has a better OOC win than them? Sec dominance will continue by and large. They have the most money and the most resources.
Before the BCS it was worse though the newspapers just gifted some team they liked a title.

I have been watching college football since I was 10. I am 57 now. I lived through a portion of the Gifting Era and all of the BCS and 4 team playoff eras. While this video was outstanding from the viewpoint of someone who did not live through those eras, it really does not point out the reality of what was going on. The video highlights what the sports media was fueling and wanting people to fight over. Their attacks on the BCS obviously worked and this video is evidence of that. The BCS getting scrapped had more to do with wounded egos amongst the power elite in the BIG 10 and PAC 10 and the BIG 8 more than anything else and of course money but that is a given. Throw in the media constantly attacking the BCS due to it being stripped of its gifting power and what you got what was the creator of this video was talking about ... the "Controversys" where each was manufactured by the media to stir the appropriate fans bases into a frenzy over nothing. Strength of Schedule was unpopular because the OG conferences were weaker than southern football teams and they were being judged as such by the IMPARTIAL computers. The computers simply crunched the numbers and spit out the best teams with zero bias. It rankled the feathers of the OG and the media, with the media looking to destroy the BCS for afore mentioned reasons, they were all too happy to fuel the fire. The break down is as follows:
1925 - 1997 - (known as the Gifting Era) This was the era of West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 bias with an occasional sprinkle of east coast teams and a heavy dose of Independents largely represented by Notre Dame. Sportswriters gifted out National Titles to all their favorites while ignoring southern football. Every once in awhile they would throw the SEC a bone but for the most part it was all the West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 teams that were gifted what was widely known as the "Mythical National Championship" (the MNC). On to the breakdown:
During this era the East Coast had 5 teams win the MNC, The BIG 10 had 13 MNC, The west coast (PAC 10) and the westward teams of the BIG 8 had 18 MNC, the SWC had 5 MNC, and Independents had 14 MNC with Notre Dame getting 9 of them. The SEC had 8 MNC with Alabama getting 5 of those. Some years had co-MNC so the numbers are off as far as total years vs MNC Teams. So as you can see the bias wasn't towards the east coast teams but heavily in favor of Notre Dame, The BIG 10, the west coast and westward leaning teams of the BIG 8. There were 73 MNC's gifted out during this era and the SEC only got 8 of them. We always said down here that if there ever came a day where teams actually had to EARN the title as opposed to it being GIFTED to them, that the SEC would rise to prominence.
1998 - 2013 (The BCS Era) - Hallelujah the day had finally come!!! Teams finally had to earn the title on the field of play regardless of what teams were in the title game they had to play for it ... finally. The best part was that computers were the ones deciding what teams were #1 and #2 and playing for a real National Title which removed the human bias and drove the sports media absolutely nuts because their power to control the MNC was gone so naturally the media lambasted the BCS at every turn trying to boot it and gain their power back. What they did not expect was that the result of their attacks would be the formation of a new system called the 4 team Playoff otherwise known as the Playoff Era. Now we have to add the number 4 to this era due to the expansion of the playoffs and a new era, the 12 Team Playoff Era. The BCS Era also exposed a vast gap between the SEC and the rest of the country with the SEC winning 9 of the 15 BCS National Championships including a run of 7 in a row for the SEC in the later years of the BCS. This of course ruffled the feathers of the OG who benefited most from the Gifting Era and they started clamoring for a playoff system where they could get more of their teams involved and have a better shot at winning National Championships. The sports media weren't exactly happy with this prospect because they were hoping to regain their Gifting Power. The push to form the 4 Team Playoff received minimal coverage in the sports media.
2014 - 2023 - The 4 team Playoff Era - The OG elite got their way and a 4 team playoff era was born with a HUGE difference, gone were the impartial computers and they inserted new bias in the form of humans once again, a committee, who would decide which 4 teams got to have a shot at the National Title in the 4 team playoffs. The OG mindset was the more teams they could stuff into the playoffs the better the odds a team from the OG would win the title. The problem was ..... it didi not work out the way they planned. While the BIG 10 did manage to win the first 4 Team Playoff Era title with Ohio State picking up the trophy, the rest was downhill for the OG. The BIG 10 won a whopping 2 of the 10 titles won during the 4 Team Playoff Era. The SEC won 6 of the 10, and the ACC won 2. Needless to say the OG was NOT happy as the SEC dominated this Era as well. This whole thing with having to actually earn the title on the field of play was sucking for the OG.
Since the start of the BCS Era the SEC had gained a stranglehold on the world of college football. This was great for the SEC who languished under the lash of the Gifting Era knowing they has a superior product down south because "It Just Means More" was a thing long before it became official. These southern folks live, breath, eat and crap football and it showcased itself during the BCS Era and the 4 team Playoff Era. So with the OG being beside themselves something had to be done .... again. Admittedly, with the SEC dominating college football for so long, this created a lack of parity and thus fans from non-SEC teams started losing interest and hope that their favorite teams would ever win a National Title in this era of earning it on the field. They took to attacking and trying to somehow discredit the accomplishments of the SEC and its teams. This was no good for sure so what could be done to appease the OG's butt hurt feelings and appease the fans as well ..... add more teams to the playoffs of course AND this is also why the conference re-alignments occurred.
The [powers that be thought that by convincing Oklahoma and Texas (2 traditionally strong teams) to move to the SEC that it would create more of a struggle for the SEC teams to advance. The divisions were scrapped in the SEC to make this more effective. Texas was given the easiest of SEC schedules this year to ease them into the fire while OU was just plain thrown under the bus. When the SEC powers that be were throwing together the SEC conference schedule for this season, they made the Texas schedule just ridiculously easy as far as the prognostication of what teams were expected to be like a couple years ago when they made these schedules. They threw GA in there to make the schedule look more legit but then gerrymandered where and when that game would be played. They scheduled the game as a Home game for Texas on the F1 Grand Prix weekend .... which traditionally Texas does not play a Home game that weekend because there are a limited number of hotel rooms available for the traveling fan bases. Insert an illegally placed referee (whose son attends Texas and by rule cannot be assigned to officiate this game) and they got a payoff ... sort of in the form of a horrendously pro-Texas called game including an illegally over-turned PI call via Instant replay via the use of the Jumbotrons AFTER the Texas fans halted game play in a temper tantrum worthy of a spoiled 3 year old but the SEC powers that be were reasonably confident that Texas could beat GA in this game with the odds stacked against them. OOPS.
What they did not figure in is that Texas and OU have been playing in the weaker conference of the BIG 8 and SWC which basically merged and became the BIG 12 for all intents and purposes. When a team gets used to soft competition in their conference and rise to the top of that softer conference, they really lose the grit needed to play tougher teams which showed in the playoff era as OU kept getting bounced over and over. Texas only made it once during the BCS Era. Now those 2 teams have run into the buzz saw that is the SEC. As is evident with the tossing of the Divisions in the SEC, now the power teams play each other a lot more thus the SEC is cannibalizing itself most effectively thus allowing room for other teams to make the playoffs. The SEC powers that be could not foresee that Texas A+M, Vandy and even Kentucky to a degree would be doing this well so far in the season or they might not have put all 3 of the Texas schedule because all 3 were cellar dwellers when the schedules were made and Tennessee was only middling.
So here we are at the dawn of the 12 Team Playoff Era and the OG is hoping to make a bigger splash with the odds now stacked against the SEC. Only time will tell.
I will never forget that Oregon State vs. Notre Dame game. I have never seen a team get beat down that physically ever. I still compare every physical game to that one.
Bittersweet memories watching this amazing documentary. Having loved on Boise State since the 90's and then watching their meteoric rise along with Utah and TCU it was awesome to finally get a shot at playing the 'big boys' in BCS bowl games and WINNING to prove our worth (SWEET), we still had to endure the heartache year-after-year-after-year of NEVER getting a chance to go ALL the way to play for a National Championship (BITTER). Finally...freaking FINALLY, they will now get their chance. Why, oh WHY did it take so long?
As a person that was too young to remember the years of the BCS, this is honestly a great video to learn from. Thank you
All of the BCS controversy made my head hurt dawg
I always thought the BCS was trash back in my teens. Seeing it now when I’m in my 30s? Trash, is putting it lightly.
God this was an awful era
Better than this trashfire playoff era. About to get worse with 12 team playoffs.....
1980s - 2010 East coast biased.
2010 - present. SEC biased.
Glad we have a multiple team playoff system now.
I have been watching college football since I was 10. I am 57 now. I lived through a portion of the Gifting Era and all of the BCS and 4 team playoff eras. While this video was outstanding from the viewpoint of someone who did not live through those eras, it really does not point out the reality of what was going on. The video highlights what the sports media was fueling and wanting people to fight over. Their attacks on the BCS obviously worked and this video is evidence of that. The BCS getting scrapped had more to do with wounded egos amongst the power elite in the BIG 10 and PAC 10 and the BIG 8 more than anything else and of course money but that is a given. Throw in the media constantly attacking the BCS due to it being stripped of its gifting power and what you got what was the creator of this video was talking about ... the "Controversys" where each was manufactured by the media to stir the appropriate fans bases into a frenzy over nothing. Strength of Schedule was unpopular because the OG conferences were weaker than southern football teams and they were being judged as such by the IMPARTIAL computers. The computers simply crunched the numbers and spit out the best teams with zero bias. It rankled the feathers of the OG and the media, with the media looking to destroy the BCS for afore mentioned reasons, they were all too happy to fuel the fire. The break down is as follows:
1925 - 1997 - (known as the Gifting Era) This was the era of West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 bias with an occasional sprinkle of east coast teams and a heavy dose of Independents largely represented by Notre Dame. Sportswriters gifted out National Titles to all their favorites while ignoring southern football. Every once in awhile they would throw the SEC a bone but for the most part it was all the West Coast and the westward teams of the BIG 8 along with the BIG 10 teams that were gifted what was widely known as the "Mythical National Championship" (the MNC). On to the breakdown:

The SEC had 8 MNC with Alabama getting 5 of those. Some years had co-MNC so the numbers are off as far as total years vs MNC Teams. So as you can see the bias wasn't towards the east coast teams but heavily in favor of Notre Dame, The BIG 10, the west coast and westward leaning teams of the BIG 8. There were 73 MNC's gifted out during this era and the SEC only got 8 of them.

Most of that is your personal opinion. As a Pac 12 fan they put us against the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl and left us out of the championship picture. What happened in 1996? Florida was gifted a championship and Arizona St was screwed over.
@zeaferjones1404 Uh ya. Thats what I said. East coast biased. And ya. Az State was screwed that yr. Same with BYU that season. They picked Penn St for over BYU for the Fiesta Bowl.
@@zeaferjones1404 While there is some opinion in my post the vast majority is fact. I researched all that information and I lived through those eras. I know what was going on first hand. As far as Florida being gifted a Natty in 96 ... that was during the Bowl Alliance Era (predecessor to the BCS) and at that point humans were still calling the shots. It was not until the BCS came into play that humans were removed from the decision making process.
@@muerkier I'm just saying the Pac 10 got screwed during the human poll era they didn't favor teams on the West unless you are talking about the Big 12. I will say during that era they favored ACC teams and Big 12 teams. However the beginning of the BCS was similar with Miami and Nebraska screwing over Oregon. SEC didn't start getting the East Coast Bias treatment until Tebow's Florida teams but once they did it got ridiculous with a one loss Alabama jumping one loss Oregon in 2012 just cuz.

Somehow, someway, WVU finished 3-0 in BCS bowl games.
Also, 13-9 may as well be on my gravestone. That will haunt me until the heat death of the universe.
Excellent work on this. This was a great recap of what is was like being in the Big East and now Big 12 through all this weirdness.
Thank you!
The 1993 undefeated year breaks my heart too. The team was so broken hearted i think they didn't give a crap about the bowl game that year. It seems they didn't even try in that game after being snubbed.
Found a gem with this one 💎
Thank you 🤝
The end of the BCS was just highlighting the problem at the time, and the problem that Corso said without saying. Networks and these "Experts" calling teams pretenders because they either aren't in a conference that they love, or aren't Blue Bloods. Its all about the ratings for the networks. This is why there literally shouldn't be any debate for the majority of the playoff field. Top 4 seeds should be as they are, power conference winners with a Bye. Then seeds 5-8 should be a combination of G5 and Independent conference winners. Then let the SEC/BIG10 selection committee pick their precious ratings babies for seeds 9-12. If you don't like that process because it's "Unfair" all I can say to you and your school is "Cool, win your Conference so it doesn't matter." There is 0 reason a 2+ Loss non conference winning team should be hosting a playoff game.
Having said all of this, the CFB Playoff is the right call, but having a selection committee that is clearly going to have its strings pulled to favor SEC/BIG10 schools is asinine.
This is a fantastic video!! Thanks for the content!!
And thank you!
Dude said Birmingham Young 😂😂😂
Saban/Alabama was so dominant they had to change college football twice just to give other teams a chance lol
Pretty easy to look dominate, when you prohibit quality teams from even playing you for a title. Yeah Alabama was a good team, but in NEITHER championship did they play teams with a top 3 offense and wouldnt you know it but teams with that criteria were in contention for playing for a title in both 2009 and 2011. How good is your defense really - if you dont have to play these teams?
@@MattBuild4Ohio state better than 😂 Alabama
@@MattBuild4 Alabama can’t control that. Also it’s easy to say they didn’t play a top 3 offense but you’re ignoring that in 2011 they played one of the best defenses of all time. Do I need to read the 2009 Florida roster off to you? Besides Alabama they were the best team in the country. Alabama beat them. They ended up playing Texas in the Natty and what happened happened. Im sure if Texas won you wouldn’t gripe so much about it. Defense always wins championships and it especially did then. No one truly thinks Alabama wouldn’t have beaten Boise State or needed to to prove themselves😂
@@MattBuild4That makes no sense. The fact that teams had to be top 2 to even make the championship at the time just shows how impressive it was. If they been had a playoff system like the nfl, I guarantee that Alabama would've won more championships. They would've gotten in every year and not many teams would've beaten Bama to be honest.
@@Sjsjssjjsjsj-wjdkyk3 championships (OSU) vs 18 championships (Bama) 🤔
The BCS was basically the voters who used to decide who the top 2 teams were in the final rankings and, subsequently, who got to play for the natty, attempting to take the heat off of themselves that they were constantly taking by fan bases of non-traditional powers who would get consistently F’d out of their chance to play for the title mostly based on bias, and getting them to shift that heat onto computers who would spit out their final BCS score in terms of points to determine the final top 25 rankings of the season. The problem with that was, the computers were still only one of the elements in determining the final BCS scores, and their only use was calculating strength of schedule and then the final BCS points (scores) for each team factoring in strength of schedule, average position in human polls, etc. There was still the human bias element of involving average team ranking in the human polls as part of the final BCS score. And to add to this, the strength of schedule (computer metric) was programmed with bias, as the SEC is always viewed as being so much better than the other conferences that over 50% of their conference on average would start the season ranked in the top 25 in human polls (even though the majority would go on to prove they weren’t worthy by seasons end) which subsequently always gave the SEC Champs and even the runner up a better strength of schedule metric which was calculated by the computers than the other conference champs. It’s almost like the voters knew it wouldn’t stop the controversy but they felt like maybe it would help alleviate some of the heat they would take by people shifting their complaints towards the BCS system itself instead of directly at them. Perhaps they already felt like the future of college football was a playoff and the BCS was their way to buy them some time until evolution took its course.
As an Oregon fan and Pac 12 fan I now realize the East Coast Bias was worse than I thought. I was actually fooled into thinking Oregon was close to making it in 2001 and Washington was close to making it in 2000 but were screwed over. However it is worse than being screwed over we were an afterthought based on this guys commentary.
Dont forget Oregon St in 2000. Wwallooped Norte Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.
I forget but I think Wazzu was kinda screwed over in 1997
@jeffreekoch9298 I actually do think Oregon St was the best team because their only loss was them being cheated at Washington. However Washington did beat Miami, Oregon St. and later a Drew Brees Purdue team. So it is an easy argument to make with Florida St fans but on eye test Oregon St was the best team.
Make a top 25 playoff. What's the point of ranking 25 teams and not having them play for the championship??? I say make it where only the #1 ranked team should have a 1st rd bye and 2-25 dukes it out in the 1st round.Ppl love a Cinderella story....
Since 2000, college football has had the exact same number of different programs win the national championship as college basketball (with the 68 teams in basketball playoffs). More teams does not mean more championship parity. I agree more playoff games would be fun from a fan perspective, but the big programs/best teams will still win it all.
I remember in 2011 Oklahoma state had lost that game against Iowa state. Before that game, Kurt budke (the woman basketball coach)and an assistant coach had passed away. I heard many excuses as to why they had lost that game, but the dumbest one had to be because Kurt had passed away and it affected the players.
I certainly sympathize for Oklahoma State and their tragedy. But ultimately, I agree that this excuse doesn't hold up. OKSt had a 2nd half 17-point lead over Iowa State that they let slip through their fingers - thus putting them at the mercy of the Coaches and Harris Poll voters (a few of whom I believe did play funny games by ranking the Cowboys 5th or 6th).
@@topay exactly
I wouldnt call Kansas St cinderellas. They were legit domintate back in the mid '90s - mid '00s . Championship contenders most years.
They did get disrespected at times tho. I think too much past memories of their horrible years during the '70s and '80s haunted them.
It would be like if Vanderbilt were to all of a sudden become a powerhouse for a decade. The poll voters wouldnt adjust well.
Florida State and Miami kinda went through the same thing back in the '80s when they finally broke through as dominate teams. They both stunk for many years during the '60s and '70s.
BCS > CFP Committee. But 1v2 < 1-4 < 1-12. If the BCS had a reasonable playoff it would have been the best thing.

How does FCS, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA, Junior College, and 3C2A have a much more organized post-season than the FBS is beyond me. If they're really going to do a playoff then they should get rid of the bowl system because you can't do both on a consistent amount of time.
Well I like the NY6 bowls rotating among the playoff semis and quarters, imagine CFB without the Rose Bowl Game
because the post season is controlled by the NCAA. this cfp is controlled by money

This new playoff is still not sanctioned by the NCAA.
Junior college football does not have a championship playoff.

Although I think Florida was a better team than Texas, you are correct.
After all, Alabama had just played Florida. The other teams as history has shown since then were paper tigers who do not play at the same level. Yes, they can win a single individual game, but that is not the same as playing the schedule.
Oh yeah you can...... TCU beat 3 Top 25 teams, ranked #4 in offense, #1 in defense and led the league in margin of victory. They beat higher ranked teams than Texas and beat ranked teams by a larger margin than Texas.
Boise State was back to back undefeated (3rd undefeated season in 4 years), ranked #1 in offense, ranked #9 in defense, had the 2nd highest margin of victory in the league, and was the only other team than Alabama to beat top 10 opponents during the season.
Objectively why is Texas miles above this?
@@Maestrohbill You do not appreciate how fierce the MWC was in this era nor how insanely stacked TCU and Boise State were. If you are comparing recent G5 teams to these teams that is a fatally grave mistake.
These teams are not NIU vs ND or UC vs ND. BSU vs #7 Oregon 09 WASNT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE the whole game. They didnt allow Oregon a FIRST DOWN til the 3rd quarter.
@@MattBuild4 You are hung up on statistics that do not mean jack squat. This can be proven over and over, but you're selectively choosing to make non-points here. What CFB team had the best offense in 2016? Western Kentucky, who led the nation in both yardage (523 pg) and points (45.5). They played Alabama, I was at the game. The final score was 38-10, and WKU's "best offense in the country" only had 239 yards and 10 points, and they got their TD only late against the fourth stringers when they got to start at the 26-yard line. Alabama's DEFENSE had as many TDs as WKU's OFFENSE did. And for the record, Boise was 0-for-the-SEC at the point you're talking about. The idea Boise played a tougher schedule than Texas is laughably absurd. Furthermore, let's look at the chicanery you're using to argue - "Boise was the only team other than Alabama to beat Top 10 opponents DURING the season?" Uh, who did they beat that was in the top 10? If you're trying to say "TCU", they beat TCU AFTER THE BCS was decided, which let's just say is a little disingenuous. And Oregon was ranked #11, not in the top ten. But you're looking at it all wrong anyway. Look at the 2009 Boise schedule and NAME THE TEAM that beats Texas or Florida or Alabama. You can't becuase there aren't any. Now be honest - do you REALLY, I mean enough to bet a house on it REALLY - think Boise plays 3 straight non-home games against Oklahoma, Missouri, and OK State in three straight weeks and emerges unscathed? You know better than that. Do you think they play three straight weeks ON THE ROAD against KY, Ole Miss, and S Carolina and go unbeaten as Alabama did? Come on, you know better than that. Oh btw - what happened in 2009 when Boise actually did play a P5 team with their juggernaut offense? They scored 19 points (oregon) and 17 points (TCU). Now, do you honestly think they score that against GOOD defenses? TCU didn't lose to Boise in the 2010 Fiesta because Boise was an unstoppable offense, they lost because they turned the ball over 3 times. Boise's OFFENSE scored 10 points in that game (one was a pick six). So please don't do this kind of analysis and expect to be taken seriously. Boise State got offered a one-shot deal with Alabama after this game and refused by making impossible demands. They wanted either a home and home - no way Alabama is losing the money to play in that smaller than a high school stadium - or they wanted to be PAID LIKE A CUPCAKE while insisting they were a big deal. You're one or the other. They wanted cupcake money but to be treated like a big deal.
@@MattBuild4 If this was true, Utan and TCU would be cleaning up in their conferences now, but they aren't. I'm sorry, but the MWC wasn't that tough. Who did 2010 TCU play? Four MWC cupcakes, an FCS team, a 5-7 overrated Oregon St, a military academy team of "not one guy here is going pro", and the train wreck known as SMU. BYU was okay and Utah was decent, so TCU had a two-game regular season and then a month to prepare for Wisconsin. I'm NOT saying they were a bad team, I'm saying they didn't belong in the discussion with Auburn and Oregon. Auburn beat five ranked teams (one twice for six) and then held the Oregon explosive offense to 19 points (they'd averaged 49.3 ppg and were held 30 points below average by one of the worst defenses to ever win the national championship). Oregon, well, not so tough a schedule admittedly but had an easier time on the road with the best non-conference team on TCU's schedule (5-7 OSU) than TCU did, too.
“Birmingham young”😂😭
The 2001 BcS championship spot ultimately came down to Colorado and Washington State not making up their game that was cancelled due to 9/11.
Both teams ended the season in the top ten, so a Colorado win would have been enough SOS boost to leap past Nebraska for the spot. A Wazzu win both hurts the Big 12 SOS and gives Oregon an additional boost since they beat the Cougs in OT earlier in the season. It might have even opened up the door for Wazzu to sneak into the game, since their replacement game against Montana State took place on what should have been their bye week prior to the Oregon game.
No matter what, Miami would have a different sacrificial lamb.
Actually wrong because it wasn't the game against Washington State, it was their loss to Fresno State that cost them the chance. That's the big one, they also lost to Texas in regular season.
@@sorney98 as it stands now, yes. But Colorado did not actually replace their game against Wazzu with another game since they already had an extra game on the schedule that year. Had they added a win against a Pac-10 contender on the road (as opposed to no game at all), it would have been enough to jump Nebraska in the BcS standings.
@54raynor who's to say Wazzu would of beaten them, Colorado wasn't that good to start out the year.
@@sorney98 read my original post. If Wazzu wins, Oregon makes the title game, with Wazzu having an outside chance at the game themselves since in this scenario they would have a bye week prior to the Oregon game that they lost in OT.
@@54raynor even had thar game happened one way or other, I don't think either jump. Reason being Nebraska lost on the road. Colorado's lost to Fresno and Oregon's lost to Stanford were at home big reason why Nebraska got the leap over both. Only way Colorado had a shot is had the loss was at Fresno State. And same can be said for Oregon at Stanford.
Great work my man! Keep it up you got talent for this
“A rematch?” That’s funny because we are likely to see 1 or 2 of these this year alone. Maybe even teams playing 3 times.
Nice editing...USC beats "New Orleans" in the 2008 Rose Bowl.
I showed a pic of Illinois at least
Utah. That's the answer.
Great content thank you this was awesome
CFB is a joke.
West Virginia blowing that game to Pitt was insane. I remember watching it like it was yesterday.
a well-researched video with detailed explanations...but good God please learn to use a pronunciation guide
Informative
Keep it up T Rock
🤝
None of this would be a problem if OKST made the 2011 Championship…
Yes sir. The pokes got absolutely boned
Don’t blow a 24-7 lead against a mid-level team.
How about don’t lose then tf😂
@@SpaceGhost92 LSU or Bama would've destroyed them
Say what you want but Bama went and made a statement.
Amazing job on this...very thorough and very well paced...I was 30 minutes into it before realizing it was more than an hour long!
Thank you!🤝
53:12 the injury to Colt McCoy set off a chain reaction that created the dynasty of Alabama and the death of the longhorns.
I miss 2000-2013 college football. That shit felt different
Great video you really covered everything a video like this is very necessary with the annnoying revisionist history going rn of people claiming this system was better then the current
Thank you man, I won’t lie, I was for a playoff of up to eight teams but I wasn’t against a 12/16 playoff for the sake of devaluing the regular season. But now that I look at it, there will be no more NY6 Bowl opt outs and the home campus playoff games sound amazing. And I find it hard to believe a fluke team will ever make a national championship again, as you’d have to go through three/four of the best teams in three country in a row😳
If you select TWO games for the championship there will be complaints. Increase it to 4 - ditto. Increase it to 12 - ditto. Increase it to 16 - ditto. Get the picture? IMO if the playoff gets in all the teams who reasonably could claim to be deserving to play for a championship and you should be good. Eight teams would be overkill if the season results mean anything anymore. If the season doesn't matter there is no more season. Everybody is in the playoff day one. Just for example we will pick 120 teams. Have a couple warm up games. Playoffs take 8 weeks and we are done. Simple.
Why are we at 12 teams and probably going to 16? All this mess is because of battles for prestige, power and $$$ period. This is killing the sport. If the court agreement is approved, the players are also moving to the precipice of a cliff. Crossing that invisible line equals employee status for the players and the ability to be fired. What a mess that would be. SMH
I miss the best. But prefer the playoff commity doing the rankings
USC didn't go to the 🌹 Bowl in 02. Because they lost to Washington St in the regular Season, Who they shared the title with
as a cane fan, we got robbed in 2002, ref definitely had a parlay on the game and rigged it
Maybe if you guys had the courage to play the 2nd best team the year before you guys would have been used to tough competition.
@ my brother that 01’ canes team would’ve beat anybody that year and they would beat any all time cfb team so…
like there’s actually no way ur actually trying to argue against ken dorsey, clinton portis willis mcaghee frank gore andre johnson santana moss jeremy shockey joaquin gonzalez brian mckinney vince wilfork jonathon vilma ed reed and sean taylor just to name the players off the top of me head
@@jbertot11 Upsets do happened. Yes a team of legendary Oregon players are going to be the underdog against a team of legendary NFL players. I just think that game would have been competitive while Nebraska was already deflated from getting destroyed by Colorado.
Oregon should have been in the championship in 2001. Washington should have been in the championship in 2000.
glad we finally settled that 2003 issue on the field, Fight On!
Incredible game too
3:00 Look, it's Cade McNown!
Computers and algorithms have never and will never work in college football
Then 4 teams wasn't enough and now we have 12. A true playoff. A legit Bowl Series, that's thankfully not called the BCS. (Bias Computer System).
And now it’ll be 16 next year, I’m mostly excited for the fact it’ll be no more opt outs in historic games like the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta and Orange Bowl now
@@TRockNFL16 teams in 2025? You sure about that?
@@TRockNFL2026 at the earliest for 16 teams
My fault
I think this system will bring back some of the glory of the bowls. It definitly sets some of the bowls above the others at least. The Orange Bowl should be more important than the Vegas Bowl.
The beauty of college football before the BCS... every regular season game was practically a playoff game with regards to the national championship
What caused the downfall of the BCS?
Common sense.
I did a little mocumentary on this myself. I'm glad someone did this with for effort
Very informative video and well put together. It's tough to watch your videos sometimes though, you need to slow down when talking
I’ll take it
correction, @ 30:46 USC played at FedEX Field in Landover , MD. Esstentially it was a homegame for Va Tech since they had alot of fans int he area... great video btw
That’s rightttt, I remember now seeing highlights of that game and USC was in home jerseys. Thank you for the correction (I’m only 18). When you see that VA tech @ USC on ESPN or PFR you just run with it lol
@@TRockNFL You did a great job with the video, im truly impressed, this channel is going to blow up 👍
Thank you🤝
What brought down the BCS was the BCS itself. Just because two teams are RANKED one and two does not mean they are necessarily the BEST two teams. A playoff should have been put in place instead.
The end of the BCS would be with Jaimes Winston and FSU winning it all 😂. How about them apples.
33:13 "Voter defection" and "voter defecation" are VERY different things.
We'll never get a perfect system for college on rankings. I hope the playoffs will work out better but we'll have to see when it actually happens.
That’s song in the background distracted me a little 2k11 memories
I liked the BCS despite it not being perfect. Not saying it should make a return but I still liked no playoff better because of the build up to the championship all winter and the bowl games still hold their tie ins and their significance
Just find your page. This is great!
Personally after 2004 bcs didn't mean nun especially in 2008
As a Virginia Tech fan/alum, I would have loved to see Michael Vick go out in a BCS Bowl. The 2000 season had so many 1-loss teams (similar to 2008), some such as ours got left out altogether. We did balance it out with our at-large in 2011, though a controversial TD overturning in OT forever leaves a sour taste in my mouth about that one. I think one thing the NY6 process - and now the 12-team CFP - improved upon was giving the at-large spots to the highest-ranked teams (which would have helped us in 2000, or would have helped Boise State and Kansas State in 2011).
Somehow in 2011 NO G5 team made a BCS bowl at all despite 3 teams ranked in the top 15........ yet the Orange bowl literally had #16 Clemson vs #23 West Virginia. This is one of many examples of why NOBODY in the P5 should complain about the G5 making a 12 team playoffs.
BCS is one of the most dumbest systems ever created. It was like they was trying their best to not have a playoff system. Like bruh just have a playoffs with at least 14 teams. All this computer shit and this and that and this team best this team by such and such points..it was stupid
Football is played on the field not paper and computers..A lot of teams lost out on competing for a national championship due to this
Human subjective polling made up a majority of the vote post 2001, so its not just on the computers. And the system we have today is entirely reliant on subjectivity and shocker it has not been good.
Great Work bro..
Thank you
Incredible work man. Kudos.
God the BCS towards the end was just a shit show. Especially when the 2011 game came around.
that 2k11 soundtrack 🔥
I loved the BCS but I really loved the old bowl system before the BCS
People complain about Bama getting into the playoffs every year. Now, with a 12 team playoff, Alabama will be in every playoff.
Well that’s not guaranteed anymore. They lost that Nick Saben recruiting.
But now they have to earn their title instead of computers deciding
@@brucechmiel7964 they had the #2 recruiting class in the first year with Deboer. Try again kid.
Surprised you can type with both hands full of Tide dick.
@davealmighty9638 that's off decades of success thanks to Nick Saban. Ofc youre going to recruit well off the backs of Sabans run. And a lot of those kids Saban had already recruited. We'll have to give Deboer a full recruiting cycle to really judge how he can recruit. He had 2 years to do it at Washington but who is to say that Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan were even his recruits because they weren't. Deboer is a great coach but the sample size is small considering recruiting. He hasn't been at any big time school long enough to give him credit for a #2 recruiting class. Also, Saban has stuck around and has helped keep those kids at Bama who were about to flip. So, they are #2 because they are Bama. Not because of Deboer. Partly because but mostly because this is Alabama and because of recency (Saban legacy)
Deserves way more views good shit man
Spitballing but I feel that a point system combined with relegation/promotion between G5 and P5 would have been pretty awesome. Just would have taken away the whole playoff “national championship game” feel but at least you’d get a clear cut champion
Before anyone comes for my neck on this I will say there are a lot of high school systems that do this sort of thing but it’s based on success factor and size of school. In my state for example if you win 3 state titles in a row or something like that you automatically have to move up a class regardless of what your turnover is. So a strong single class that wins a 1A school 3 state titles could all graduate and then they get smashed the next year in the playoff
@@kollinkincaid92 - If Eurosnobs wants promotion/relegation in the MLS, the journey starts with college sports, then pro leagues like the NFL and NBA before installing it in the MLS.
