Ohio State sucks again.  LSU by 14

Is there a bigger fraud in college sports than Big Ten Football?

[Sgt PSN]

Besides Temple Football?

'Football' should be in quotes, Sarge.

[Rome]

ACC football's pretty pathetic too.

And lol at Temple.

[phattymatty]

I hate Ohio State more than any other team, but by the end of it I really just wanted them to make it close. 

[ice grillin you]

it really should have been closer...they outgained lsu but had that dropped touchdown where they ended up getting no points and then some of the dumbest penalties ever...they still woudlnt have won and lsu is clearly a better team but it should have been a better game

If this season doesn't validate the need for a playoff in college football then nothing will. 

[rjs246]

Everyone acknowledges the 'need'. No one wants to deal with the sponsorship uproar when the 'bowls' become obsolete.

[Rome]

They wouldn't have to be obsolete.  They could simply incorporate the four major bowls into the national championship playoff.

It's doable but you're right about there being too much resistance from the powers that be to let it happen.

I wasn't really talking about the 4 major bowls. I'm talking about the Bob's Big Boy Banana Bowl presented by the Discovery Channel. The rinky dink bowls that represent marketing and decent chunks of change for many many businesses.

I don't understand why any of them would go away or have any less interest than they do now.  The playoff system could encompass as many or as few teams as are viable to keep the rest of the bowl system in place.

[rjs246]

True. The problem is that the only thing people would care about or watch would be the playoffs. Plus, it's a rather massive change in structure. These companies have something in place that works and would fight change. Guaranteed.

[BigEd76]

Would there still be a month off between the end of the season and the main bowls that are part of the playoff?  Will college kids be able to afford tickets to two or three major bowl games + travel? 

[ice grillin you]

im not sure how a playoff would effect non playoff bowls anymore than a championship game effects the non chanpionship game bowls now

anyway theres no need for a playoff...they need to implement a plus one system...you dont need to take it any further than that
