National Championship is announced. Will you be watching?


I find myself just feeling very indifferent about college football.  Maybe it's the fact that I went to Butler, where football isn't exactly high on the scale there.  Obviously, the basketball team has taken all the attention away.  It doesn't help the football team that they play in the lowest division available as well.  Therefore, I don't have many ties to any football program.


I do follow the top 25 teams, and just keep an eye on things happening in college football.  And of course, most of the discussion after last night was on the rematch between LSU and Alabama.  For those of you who missed the first matchup, LSU won 9-6.  That's right, these two teams have already played, and now they are playing again for the National Title.  Does that make any sense?  Oklahoma State just misses out after a fantastic season, and one that ends in completely taking cover of their big rival, Oklahoma, but they won't get to prove that they should be a National Champion.

You know what could solve that issue, a playoff. I think for me a playoff would get me excited for college football.  People are arguing you can't add that many games to those players.  Well, how about the players in basketball, and all the games they play.  All the other college sports do a playoff as well.  And let's be honest, how many division 1 football players will go on to the NFL, so what difference would it make in the long run if you added a few games.  How about taking off the first two games that are usually against cupcake teams, and start the conference games right away.  There you go, you've taken out games, and put a playoff game in it's place. I read somewhere on Sunday that after Saturday's games that none of the games had any effect on the BCS.  Now we're supposed to believe that every game counts in college football, except after this weekend, it doesn't.
