Are you a proponent of a playoff for college football top division?

Some things just chap my hide... My Google alerrts took me to an article by an apologist for the current system. I about went nuts on the spot.

Rather than try and repeat it all here, check out my blog entry: http://gatorduckspeaks.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-need-playoff-damnit.html

This is my 10th article on the subject already this month. While at the blog, check out the others, if you are interested.

Playoff all the way.

If we don't get a playoff system, I would at least like to see some more inter-conference play. Yeah, it's fun beating up on Hawaii and Citadel, but I would love to see Florida play Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Michigan (ouch), USC (Trojans), and Notre Dame in the regular season. Maybe all the BCS conference teams should swap one "fluff" game for an inter-conference game. Think about it. Next week will be the first time Oklahoma and Florida have played head to head. Regardless of the outcome next week, it would be fun to see them play each other more often.

A playoff will be the only way a true national champion in the top division of college football can be determined, and I see no reason why a format similar to what the NFL runs with conference-division champions and "wild card" teams to round out a bracket can't be developed and adapted to work in college football.

There should be no more "independent" teams either; Notre Dame belongs to the Big East in basketball, so why can't they join that same conference in football? Same for Army, Navy and the rest of the teams not affiliated with a conference - Army once belonged to C-USA but dropped out - I wonder why?

I think we should definitely have a playoff system.

My sentiments exactly. I honestly don't mind independent schools, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to be independent, you're completely independent, not half and half like Notre Dame does it. It's like someone saying, "I want to get married, but only for the sex and the financial support. If my spouse gets sick or makes less money than me, then we both become single."

Oh well, those are just my thoughts.
