Unable to avoid my own bias as a K-State fan, and disappointed by the K-State performance in Q 1-3 against UCF, a playoff would benefit teams like K-State. K-State this season defeated UCLA (who beat Texas), defeated a conference competitor in Iowa State, defeated UCF with its quick defensive unit and rising young talent on its offensive side, climbed to 4-0 by mastering a stellar Q4 performance and is nowhere to be seen on any poll. Texas who lost to that same Bruins unit remains atop the polls. why? Because it is a media friendly brand. It is likely that if K-State defeats Nebraska on October 7, it wont be because K-State and Heisman candidate Daniel Thomas, for the 5th straight time, got the job done. It will be because Nebraska wasn't for real. If K-State defeats Nebraska on October 7, they may appear somewhere toward the bottom of the Top 25, while many other 4-1 or 3-2 brand-name Top 25 leaders will remain at the top so that we might have yet another classic championship series, be it Bama, Sooners, or Ohio State. If Notre Dame could string together two wins in a row, they would join the championship hunt as well, sailing to the top of the rankings on the major polls. Leaving my bias toward -State aside, the only way we will ever have a legitimate championship team is through a competitive playoff system. The current system is inherently wired to exclude teams that deserve a shot at the title an rewards teams who don't. Take back the power of selection from the sports writers and coaches and give it to the kids who play their hearts out every week on the field.
I approve of this thread. BTW for those who love comparative scores SDSU beat Utah State 41-7 and OU beat Utah State 31-24.....
A playoff would be great but highly unlikely. I'd settle for restoring the relevance of New Year's Day games. This season the Rose and Fiesta will be played on the 1st, Orange on the 3rd (Monday), Sugar on the 4th (Tuesday) and a week later the NC game on the 10th (Monday). This is just wrong for people like me who like to party.
Totally agree my Texas friend...."NC" game should be New Year Night...

In between the Sugar Bowl and the NC game are 4 booby prize bowls:
Sun Belt vs. MAC #2
SEC #3 or #4 vs. Big 12 #2
Big East #5 vs. SEC #8
PAC-10 #6 vs. WAC
UGH!
As the sport reporters basically said, "There are no great teams, but Alabama looks like one of the best of them."
