| All the excuses ADs and President use to poo-poo a playoff system are just excuses. A four team playoff would only affect four teams and you could still maintain the integrity of the bowls. What are the players doing between the last regular season game and their bowl game a month later, they are practicing. Injury potential there. With a 12 game schedule, conference championship game, and a bowl game, a team can play up to 14 games. If that bowl game turns out to be a playoff game and they win, that team will finish with 15 games. So what? March madness keeps the final four teams away from school for 2-3 days a week for a month. At least, most of the bowl games take place during the X-mas brake. Finally, just think about the $$$$ generated for a playoff system. Wow, it would make CBS's contract for March Madness look like your little sister's piggy bank. Sorry, I'm ranting but I'm still upset about Clemens' ankle and the fact that UO got screwed a few years ago when Nebraska was selected ahead of them to play in the Championship game.  |
