The thing is that TCU can beat any team in the country right now including either of the teams in the title game.

This is exactly why college basketball kicks the piss out of college football and always will until there's a playoff.

As the lower levels of college football are working their way through their respective playoffs, these clowns are sending any team with 6 wins to an endless parade of meaningless Weedeater Bowls. Save those precious bowls for the teams that don't make the playoffs and get a playoff going.

It's the only sport (FBS only) in the NCAA that does not have a playoff. There is no logical reason for them not to have a football playoff. None.

This is such a frustrating subject.

Don't worry about that, college kids can stay focused for 5 weeks. Shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 arrests by then.

I like the Bowl system right now. It gives morons the opportunity to b.itch and moan about their obscure team in a s.hit conference going undefeated and getting the shaft.

A playoff would shut them up and quite frankly it's too much fun watching them whine with delusions of grandeur rather than whine because they got smashed by a big conference team for all the marbles.

If you need a reference for this look up the past champions in basketball. The majority of years it is a major conference school cutting down the nets.

But at least a bunch of teams had the actually opportunity to win a title.

It is why I haven't watched a single college football game at all this year, it is retarded, but I guarantee you that if they were to go to a playoff, I would watch intently.

You would have to shorten the season to 10 games + conference championship and then an elite eight. And at that point you would still have people b.itch and moan.

I ain't scurrd . I realize that everyone outside of the SEC is screaming for a playoff system. It probably won't change the outcome.

What's that?? Utah has outscored their opposition 66-24 in two BCS games?....must be their sh*t conference.

Oh I forgot that game was for the national championship. Silly me. I better freshen up on my reading comprehension out here in tobacco country.

Look I know the highlight of living in potato country is the occasional potato festival and boise st. football but that doesn't change the fact that a playoff system would, at most, yield two championships from s.hit conferences in the span of a century.

Congratulations to Utah though. That was, and will continue to be, the biggest win in the history of their school.
