Does Michigan stay ranked in next week's poll?

This shows the exact weakness of the bowl system. Michigan's season is OVER. If they would have a 16 team playoff (4 weekend), they would still have a shot. So bootleg

they'll stay in the bottom 5.
App. St. Might be playing for a 3rd straight NC.

Colorado and Colorado St. seem to have wars in their series. Colorado has pretty consistantly got the best athletes in Colorado. Colorado State picks up the pieces and gets a lot of good football players that are not necessarily great athletes. Put this with a good coach and you got a chance.

Texas Tech basically does the same thing in Texas. The let Texas, Texas ATM, and Oklahoma take the cream of the crop. Then they pick up all the kids that are good football players but not superior athletes. And they have a chip on their shoulder for not being picked so they will knock of 1 or more of the aforementioned almost every year.

Good coaches put with real players can do some pretty amazing things. Its a lot tougher in the pros to get away with this. This is why college football is so full of extra incentive for players and excitement for the fans. A lot of very good football players get bypassed by the perennial powers because they dont run 4.4 40's.

You lose to Appy state at home an you deserve to be eliminated. They are no cinch to be in the top 16 at the end of the year.

I agree, while I like betting on College football, i could never be a hardcore fan because a winner is essentially chosen, they don't have to fight for it.

Not exactly. You still pretty much have to win all your games to be in contention and how many teams do that? I would favor a playoff but I can't condone a sport just because I don't like how they come up with a champion. In the end what does it really matter unless the team you bet covers the spread?

a 16 team playoff like the other divisions play would be awesome!
cut the season back to 11 games give automatic berths to conference champions and a couple at-large bids.
