Why College Footbal needs a playoff.
Hypothetical, but possible.
I know it is still early, but this is the scenario that keeps coming up in my head. We win out, some close and some covincing wins. Not the run up the score types either. Texas also wins out as they will be favored in the rest of their games. Then I have a feeling that USC could lose a game say to Cal or someone and then win out. Also a team from the SEC comes out with only one lose. Say a LSU, Georgia, Tenn, or Fl. Then that would leave us, USC, and one of them with one lose. With the formula in place you know damn well that USC goes on to play Texas b/c they have won two in a row.
Then you can second guess the scheduling, what if we would of had the Citadel on our schedule like FSU or La Tech like Fl. instead of Texas. No none of us would of been excited for the game, but we would be sitting in Pasedena to play Texas.
I know you can say that is what makes college football, you have to win every game, but hell we played the team that won all their games and lost by a matter of inches.
Also it would makes teams schedule more games like that. Say USC vs. Miami or Michigan vs. Va Tech. Those games would be outstanding for all of us to watch and the ratings and money for cfb would increase.
Also could you imagine a playoff at the end of the year and all the money it would bring. If tOSU had 3 games the money they would bring would be outrageous and the tv ratings wouldnt get any higher.
I know I am probably just upset that I feel we could be out of the race b/c Texas will win out and probably USC, b/c their schedule is very weak.
Thoughts?
