Should there be a playoff system in College Football Division I?

Everyone else has weighed in on this question, so I figured that I would get on the record as well. We need a College Football playoff system for the top tier football teams! I feel that all the excuses used to justify staying with the current College Bowl Game structure are just that. Excuses! None of them hold water with me.

Why does every other football organization in the country have a playoff system other than Division I college football? I mean how else can you really name a National Champion? Isn’t part of being a true champion being able to win through a tough playoff schedule and not only play well, but take advantage of breaks and overcome adversity in game after game? It does in my book.

In my opinion it is only money that is holding this back. I haven’t recently seen any strong arguments for keeping the College Football situation the same as it is right now. But there is so much sponsor and television money at stake that I don’t think we will see a playoff at the Division I level in my lifetime.

And that is a shame for the game of football. I have seen a number of different proposals on how it could be done so I won’t go back through all of that together. Here is what I would like to see happen if the NCAA has the guts. Let’s poll the fans!

I am serious. Let everyone who follows college football vote! Fans, coaches, media, everyone. Then we would find out what the people who spend all the MONEY on football think. Will it happen? Not a chance. I don’t think that the NCAA has the guts to even discuss doing this. Too bad for college football and college football fans.
