Playoff
I caught a little bit of a couple of the shows on 1460 this morning and there was talk about a playoff for NCAA football. I don't remember the name of the guy who replaced Cornheiser but I agree with him that the system in place now isn't perfect but it may be about as good as we can do without a playoff that adds to the number of games that these guys have to play.
I think right now the regular season is limited to 12 games and then bowl teams get one more. 13 in a season is plenty and I wouldn't complain if they went to a max of 12. Football is now an all year commitment for the players and they take an awful lot of punishment in 13 games. I wouldn't want to see the burden on the players increased at all and I'd prefer it was decreased.
Yeah the BCS isn't perfect but maybe the formula of determining who plays in the big game could be improved. It won't ever be to the point where everybody will always be happy with the results but that doesn't bother me. I'm going to be happy with my Buckeyes if they compete well for the conference title and get in a BCS bowl with some regularity. That is what will make me happy on the field, off the field I want to see guys grow and graduate. I'm as concerned about off the field progress as on. Lets not increase the time they spend on football to the detriment of off field progress.
