I agree, but you're preaching to the choir.

I can nearly guarantee that IGY thinks otherwise.

Go vote now!

On the eve of the election, the two presidential candidates were interviewed via satellite by ESPN's Chris Berman. The taped interviews were to air during halftime of game between the Washington taterskins and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Both candidates were asked to name one thing they would change in sports.

"I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football. I'm fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. Get eight teams — the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a National Champion," Obama said.

No chance he's pandering to central Pennsylvanians on national television?  Nah, he wouldn't do that

just so you know in 95 ups would have beaten nebraska but that was when the big ten wasnt a laughing stock and penn state had real big time talent...this year they arent even as good as osu was last several years and looked what happened to them against real comp...penn state is a fraud....im rooting for them because im a fan but they should not get in the bcs title game...theres at minimum 8-10 teams better than them this year

That's why I want a playoff.  If you are right, PSU is out in the first round, and Texas (for example) doesn't get screwed out of a shot.  If you are wrong, they get the opportunity to show people like you that they don't know what they are talking about.

This isn't just PSU bias, but by your (and MDS's) logic there shouldn't even be conferences, because if you aren't playing in the Big 12 or SEC, you can't make a case for playing in the championship game.  Who needs a regular season?  Just turn the regular season into a big tournament!

the regular season is a big tournament now...which is why college football is the best sport in the world....making a playoff would take that greatness away...it would still be great but its perfect now

If I'm a PSU fan I want no part of Florida.  They frigging destroyed a very good Georgia team the other day.  No way Penn State wins against them, and trust me, there isn't a person alive who hates the Gators and their inbred fans more than I do.

the sec and big 12 are on a different level than every other conference. hell the mac is closer to the big 10 than the big 10 is to the sec.

youre in the temple press box for many college games and travelling for many others and when youre not im guessing youre not really watching much...best you try not to evaluate the sport....its not pretty

No, see in a tournament there is a seeding done to balance the field and to try and get the best teams to the title.  In NCAA football, all the best teams are apparently in the same region of the bracket.

As a PSU fan, I honestly don't see any scenario where they would be favored in a national championship game.  They have the defense to beat anyone, but the offense is erratic.  Still, college football can be very unpredictable, so getting there is half the battle.

[ice grillin you]

you got it exactly opposite

their defense is why they would lose to a florida...they would get shredded by a team that has that kind of speed....the big ten offenses are a travesty

their offense is the only thing that could keep them in the game...penn state has a great o line and theyd have to clock control run game all night long and mix in a nice night by clark to have any chance

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I like the PSU defense to hold almost any offense in check.

I think the Florida defense would massacre the PSU offense.  The Big 12 teams aren't nearly as good on D.

[ice grillin you]

did you like the ohio state defense to hold the sec in check...an ohio state defense ladened with pro players
