427.0. "The Nationals Playoff" by CRONIC::CLAYBROOK () Wed Dec 12 1990 11:22

    The National has started a fake playoff using a computer. They take
    the top 16 teams and match them up in games using the bowls. They
    have a game a day. The championship game will be the Fiesta bowl
    on Dec. 30th. I thought it would be interesting to keep track of
    the results. Here are the rankings and match ups.

427.4Choir Boys = Miami U. the MovieMILPND::VLASAKWenttoafightandaMiamiUgamebrokeout!Wed Dec 12 1990 17:5215
    The National is a pathetic rag as far as college football goes.
    
    First of all, the NCAA would not allow teams on bowl probation
    participate in a playoff.  They should factor this in and pick up the
    next two teams.
    
    Second, the way they move teams up and down in their ratings makes
    little sense.
    
    Finally,  The National was the source for my note on the lack of road
    games for Miami U.  I'm taking this opp to take back all the things
    I've said about Miami U. and concede that they are Choirboys!

    Miami over Louisville in OT?  HA HA HA... how much money did the
    Fiesta Bowl pay USA today, for them to make Louisville look like
    one of the better teams in the country?

427.16Why can't the National do what it wants?WORDY::NAZZAROA Johnny Most fan for 30 yearsTue Dec 18 1990 13:029
    SO who gives a flying f*** that the NCAA wouldn't allow teams
    on probation to participate in a bowl?  It's the National's game,
    and their playing by their own rules - I like their attitude!!!
    
    And the game stories have been lots of fun.  LIke today, Lou Holtz
    missing the second half of the game because he tturned himself in
    for numerous rules violations.  Too funny!!!
