College Football Rewind

Forget the major conference championship games, the best game of the day came late into the night at Washington. Their meltdown at home against Hawaii was a great game that should land Hawaii in a BCS game. They deserve it, they are the only undefeated team in the FBS not to mention they have star power in Colt Brennan as well as guys you don't know like Davone Bess, Ryan Grice-Mullen, and Jason Rivers. They have to be in a BCS game and you know what, they owe it all to Boise State. If the Broncos don't shock the world last year against Oklahoma, I don't think Hawaii gets an offer this year. It doesn't matter that they are a system team but that is what makes them great. Last night's game showed their resiliency and just pure grit. They were down 28-7 and put up 28 unanswered. They had multiple fumbles early in the first quarter but coach June Jones settled down his team and really showed football fans (at least the ones who stay up late) that they can play.

Now lets talk about that playoff system...

OK, West Virginia loses and continues the curse of number two. So Ohio State slides in and plays for the prize, again. I know Ohio State is very deserving but they are boring to watch, lets not lie about this. They have an ok QB (Todd Boeckman) and they really only have a power running game with sophomore Chris Wells. I don't really want to see Ohio State even if they are deserving. It looks like the most likely candidates are LSU, Georgia, and Virginia Tech. The highest team in the BCS rankings is Georgia but a two loss team who didn't play for a conference title should not be playing for a national title. That leaves LSU, a two loss who won their conference title game and whos only two losses came in triple OT against ranked teams. LSU will most likely leap frog Georgia and jump into the title picture. That brings LSU all the way back to the start of the year when they were consensus top two with USC.

What happens if a playoff system was actually implemented? How many teams will participate and what happens to the Bowl games? Do the winners of the MAC and C-USA get invited or are their some bowl games and a playoff.

Well, the BCS is finally expolding and parody is raining supreme. I have some pretty crazy ideas and they are feasible. You go back to the four major bowl games. Then the winners of those games enter a 4 team playoff for the national title. It breeds competition and excitment and would provide less layoff time ( Ohio State will be off for 50 days before playing 11/17-1/7). Something needs to change and change fast.
