I hope GG made the trip to Omaha to finally see his Gators winning and advancing through the field ( great pitching !) Great college sports championship......and NOBODY gets VOTED directly into the final four. That makes it a bogus championship. Right, Bevo ?

There are just different formats. Only one Bogus championship......unless you can think of any other team sports championship on Earth in which the finals or semi-finals are 'voted' into place and 'voted' by people not even associated with the governing body of that sport....and that includes football...from Pop Warner to HS to college ( all the divisions) to pro football. NO semi-finals are EVER determined by a beauty contest opinionated election. Doesn't that raise the red flag of bogism ( is that a word ? )

The teams all know what it is. It's incredibly difficult to succeed, and there is a TON of "playing" involved, both before AND after the "voting". It might not be to your liking, but... it works for me. Maybe it gets tweaked some more in a few years. But, I don't see it EVERY becoming anything that would please you.

There are just different formats. What about the "championships" that didn't have a format, i.e., the ones commonly referred to as "mythical "? You might recall that we went through another exercise once before, where I asked the seemingly obvious question about the BCS and CFP championships that no one else had ever asked: Champion of what? As far as I know, I am still the only one to have asked that obvious question.

All football championships please me...because they are pretty well inclusive and competition based. Only the pretend- beauty contest driven so called 'championship' displeases me. Championships ( and there is only one on Earth) that are determined by opinions...and who knows what else, will always be 'mythical'

Yes there is a process...a process of opinions, a process of speculation , a process of guesswork.. a process of ranking and voting......but no process of actual head to head elimination competition which all other team sport championships on Earth rely on to determine a champion.

There is LOT of competition Hen. We watch it every week. You just prefer to pretend it never happens and doesn't matter.

Hats off to the two SEC teams to make the final. They absolutely earned their way to the finals...by actually playing post season baseball. If college baseball had a mythical , beauty contest type system ( like CF's exhibition division ) Coastal Carolina would absolutely NOT be the defending champion and LSU and Florida likely would not be voted into this final series....which would sadden Bevo who believes, wholeheartedly, that voting is much better than playing for determining sports championships.

That is the kind of BS that herd would post. I have NEVER, EVER... In MANY years of posting here said that "voting is better than playing".... Never.
