January bowl > NCAA Tournament bid Final 4 > January bowl National Championship playoff > Final 4 This makes sense. I think I concur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a bowl game is greater than missing the NCAAs. Prestige and money? Because to USF it seems harder to get into the NCAAs. Statistically too since so many more schools compete for about the same number of openings as there are bowl game invites. (Do I dare use the word approximate here without getting jumped on?) Someone needs to tell slick to reread what Apis wrote ... Heck, I don't even understand what Apis wrote... Yeah I just tried to figure what he said. "Making one is greater than missing another?" That's the part I ignored. So then I questioned what he meant about the first part. The two being equal in their impact, in what way?

What I was saying was NOT making a bowl game has as much impact to the negative, as making the NCAAs has toward the positive. Positive impacts (in order of importance IMO): Making the National Championship Playoffs, football conference championship, making a top (formerly BCS) bowl game, making the NCAA tournament, making it to a bowl game. Negative impacts (in order of importance): Missing a bowl game.............. missing the NCAAs Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I understood what you meant ... The fact that slick and charsibb didn't get it does make me better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
