Gator Bait

Pretty stupid that had UCLA beat USC the Gators wouldn't have even got in the National Championship game. Especially ridiculous when you are in a conference with 8 of the best 30 teams in the nation. The sport needs a playoff and fast or the SEC will continue to be shut out of the national championship because it is so tough to go undefeated in that conference.

Well deserved championship. The big thing about a playoff is that all the bowl games could be incorperated into a playoff. A playoff would eliminate the uncalled for 40-50 day layoffs. A quality team that plays a tough schedule want be eliminated early in the season. It would put some meaning to all the insignificant bowl games,thus insuring sell outs because some of the early[most] bowls are a joke.

Everybody wants a playoff, but year after year we go without one.

I'd just like to thank the media for having somewhat of an influence on the betting lines. May their expertise spill over to the NFL Playoffs.

You can blame the Big Ten commish for that. Interesting article on ESPN.com yesterday about how much power he has. He basically said we will see a playoff once ratings and attendance start to fall but as long as they keep rising there is no need for one. So from now on I'm only watching college football games involving either a non-BCS team or a Big East team (since I know the other BCS conferences would love to kick them out). Any game involving a Big Ten team I will be especially careful to not watch. If enough people took this approach they might actually make the playoff a reality.
