Number 1 and 2

“Playoffs? Playoffs?” - Jim Mora, Sr.

What the hell happened last night? The better question: “What the hell happened this season?”

It has been an incredible college football year. The problem is that it is over. There is no clear-cut number 1, and there is no clear-cut number 2. Wait, Ohio State should be number 1. If you get to number 1 by default then you probably should not be there. The way they played last year in January combined with a horrible schedule does not give them any brownie points.

Missouri lost twice…To the SAME team. Kansas turned out to be a bust. Georgia lost to Tennessee (that in itself should disqualify a team from being number 1). Florida had the best player in college football and lost three games. I could write a dissertation on LSU and coach Less Miles. They are my vote for number 1 (they were undefeated in regulation). Hawaii does not even need to be mentioned for a spot in the top five.

There are other teams worth mentioning, but my point is, there should be a playoff. Ten or Sixteen spots would take care of the current mess. That way everyone with a claim would have a shot. This year might as well been the year that leads to the downfall of the Bowl Championship series as we know it today.

Everyone deserves a shot but come Sunday afternoon, only two will get there shot.
