College Football...OK Now Can we Have a Playoff??? | Sportfanatic's Blog

Ok sports fans, now is the time we get to start jumping off our couch and screaming that we NEED a playoff system Why are we going to wait until the end of this wild and unpredictably FUN year? We have seen incredible games, historic upsets, and a level of play that is unparalled (where's spell check when you need it) in the history of the game. Every week another "top" team comes falling down. In the words of the immortal Dickie V "It's Incredible Baby!" So, why do we not have a playoff system in place? If you actually think The Ohio State University is the #1 team in the nation please, pass the hashish that you are smoking. Right now I only give them a field goal over USF. And that is in Columbus. I would love to see them go to Boise State and play right now. Every team in the top 20 has proven it can play with any other team in there. Except maybe the Buckeyes who for some reason are ranked #1 when they haven't played anyone since they got blown out by Florida last year. (I love the Big Ten but I am a realist.)

WE NEED A PLAYOFF SYSTEM NOW. For all the USF's, Rutgers, Utah's, Boise States, heck even Ball State gave Oklahoma a scare. We are at a point where every team is realizing the kids across the country are just getting better. There are too many recruits to go around. The days of Miami, Florida State, USC, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Florida are over. Did I miss anyone...That about covers the last fifteen years right?? Now we are watching "upstart" teams like USF, come crashing into the national scene. Nevermind they just lost a hard fought game at Rutgers that they shouldn't have even been close in. Lets let them all play for the title.

Lets take the Top 10 teams and put them against each other. Lets bring March Madness to College Football. Lets get a CLEAR #1 team. No more whining. Let them play it out. Who knows what would happen. That is what the beauty of this game is. Every Saturday (and Thursday and Friday nights now) any team can win.

So put them in the ring and lets see who is left standing.

I agree, a playoff needs to happen. All the reasons for it just make sense. The reasons against it are concieved from lunacy.

Before you can have a playoff, you need to level the playing field. There are alot of good teams that never get a chance to play in BCS BOWLS. The MAC teams should be included as a BCS Confrence.How many of the NFL Top Quaterbacks played in the MAC? Its time to let the mid-level teams have a chance.

I agree with collegefootballrules.

The mid-level teams deserve a shot. There are a lot of talented players that play in the MAC, Big West and other such mid-level leagues. They don't have quite as many top players(depth), but they do produce good talent.

Can you say Ben Rothlesburger? Randy Moss?(both MAC products)

All we as fans can do is to keep screaming for a true playoff of at least 16 teams. Shorten the regular season, get rid of the D-1AA(subdivision) cream puffs and they can finish on Jan. 1st, like they used to do.
