Division I College Football is in dire need of a playoff system. Ohio State and LSU lucked out that West Virginia and Missouri lost their games on Saturday to advance to the BCS title game on January 7.
Don't get me wrong, I love computers and work with them everyday. I have read, tabulated, and formulated my share of polls. However, combine polls, computers, and college football and it's a recipe for disaster. LSU versus Ohio State is going to be a great game which I'll break down sometime in the next five weeks. Ugh! Five weeks of hype will be worse than the Super Bowl and almost as bad as the Presidential primaries. Wise voters like yourselves know to pull the lever for Steve and the Tank in November 2008. Thank you in advance for your support.
I will not have closure until there is a Division I playoff system. It is already taking place in Divisions II and III. Student athletes in those Divisions not only play for championship but also study and take exams. Yes, these concepts maybe foreign to Division I teams but hope spring eternal. Speaking of hope, thank God Andy Pettitte wants to play with the Yankees in 2008!
