HEY PLAYOFF PEOPLE!
Posted by UFreak in 
A playoff in College Football, like the ONE in the NFL?……The one where 11-5 New England was TEXAS-like NOT invited to play?…THAT kind of playoff?
Or the one that rewards 8-8 San Diego, but NOT 8-8 Denver, 8-8 Houston, or 8-8 Washington!?!?!?
The same playoff format that sees 9-7 Dallas, Chicago, Tampa Bay, & The NYJets at home, but SENDS pathetic Arizona on,…with the same 9-7 record?
THAT kind of playoff system?…Oh, yeah,..and we wonder why those in the (College)$$$ don’t want to change a thing!…or are at least not willing to jump in the pit!
College Texas fell into a (3way) tie, same as a number of these teams did. And, within the establlished rules they were NOT invited to play in the BIG12 Champ game (postseason)…..THE SPORTS WORLD WAS A FIRE, with rage!…yet, the MODEL those same rage-ful media hordes all push for, the NFL model, is just as discriminatory as they claim College Football is,….what with their TIE-breaker rules and all.
If this were College Football, this NFL game with the perfect playoff format, the Sports Writers would have you all UP IN ARMS over the UNfair acts that leaves these teams OUT of the playoff games!….oh, the OUTRAGE!
So, instead, the NCAA brings you game after game after game, spread out over a feast of days, and gives you hand-picked (in some cases, not without cause) classics! ALL leading up to the biggest games of them all. Tex-ass doesn’t get shut OUT!…not like Dallas did anyway. They (The Longhorns) get to play in a BIG ass game!…..and the players get swag and King-like treatment! Heck, the UC players are staying in SoBeach at The Foutainebleau Hotel! Google it, if you’ve never heard of it. ITS very nice. Without the Bowls set up like they are, this kinda of “week” doesn’t happen for these guys (and the other teams guys). For the 2-3 NFL players on each team, this might end up being nothing, but for the other 83+ that go?….its a great thing.
I don’t think they’ve (NCAA’ers) got it all figured out, and there have been years (not nearly as many as some people claim though) where injustices were a little too outrageous to comprehend, but more times than not,…the system NOW is working…..and when compared to the NFL, particularly THIS year, is set up just fine too!
