Yep. But I can deal with that over #3 (or #2 in some years) not getting a shot. I mean, we talk every March about the #69 team that didn't get in the tournament, but rarely do you hear about that team after March. We're still talking about some of the teams that got screwed out of the BCS, nearly a decade later.
While true, I think Souljah was more picking on that "realistic" is not the right word at all.
FWIW, +1 to me in the 16 camp. Would let you give deserving conference champions an automatic qualifier, allow for plenty of at-large teams. And some proposals for 16 have even scheduled it such that the first round losers are able to go back into the bowl system for later bowls. That's pretty cool to me. As well, 16 worked well for FCS for years.
Put the angry pills down, mors. The expansion of the bowl system (to include 6-6 teams) has nothing to do with trophies-for-everyone mentalities, and everything to do with $$$$$$$$ for the people organizing the bowls (not the schools).
