Until a playoff system is in place, FSU is going to smoke the ACC every year and wind up in the title game.

A playoff would encourage FSU and similar schools to load up the schedule.

In defense of FSU, they play Florida and Miami every year - Miami has been down, but are preseason Top5 this year.

Who's your team?

I'm not ripping on FSU here! I like Bowden and the tradition he's built (I don't like that the same damn team is on top every year, unless, of course, it was my team!).

By the way, do you know what the third favorite collegiate football team is in Florida behind UF and FSU? Ohio State! That's where we all go to retire!

I also like the SEC over the Big Ten, but that's probably because I lived in Atlanta for a while.

Then came the BCS and it blows! Only one game has any meaning. The pre-New Years bowls don't hold the same appeal either. We need to either go back to strict conference tie-ins and the bowls choosing who they want to get as an at large team or go to a 16 or 32 team playoff. I say 32 teams, because I believe it is viable if, in that format, you included all conference champions and, basically, the rest of the top 25. There would be no bitching about who got in and who didn't that really mattered with that format.

Anyway, old or new is better than junk they serve up now. Unless, of course, your team is in the "title" game.

backdatthangup's IP address is as follows:

149.99.193.123

If you don't know anything about networking or TCP/IP, you are about to get a quick lesson:

This is a Class B IP address. Class is determined by the first 3 digits, and if they are 129-192, that specifies a Class B address.

The IP address actually tells you the network ID, and the computer ID. Because it is Class B, the network ID is 149.99, and the computer ID (on that network) is 193.123
It would not be very difficult to find out where this network is, and subsequently where the computer is. The server keeps all the records....

Class B addresses are generally allotted to universities/colleges, or medium sized corporations. Based on the (lack of) intelligence in backdatthangup's posts, I suspect a college.

Some of you may have heard of dynamic IP addressing, whereby IP addy's are randomly assigned. This simply means that backdatthangup's Internet provider is utilizing a DHCP server, or Dynamic Host Control Protocol Server.

Sure, a DHCP server will auto-generate IP addy's for a user, but it will also keep a record of the times that this address was assigned to individual users.

God bless TCP/IP.

Backdatthangup, you are not invisible behind your computer. You are only as hidden as I let you remain. It would not be hard to find you.
