Boise State is just plain taking it to Oklahoma right now in the Fiesta Bowl. Of course, as of this writing, there are 8 minutes left in the third quarter and Boise is only up by 18 points so my statement may be a little premature.
Why am I posting about this? Well, I am fed up with not having a playoff system in college football, arguably, the greatest sport in the world.
It's simple take the top 8 teams (heck, I'd even go for the top 4) and match them up in a playoff and play in the existing bowl sites.
The BCS has taken a step in this direction this year by adding a 5th BCS game called simply, The BCS Title Game. Consequently, there will be another BCS game in Tempe this time next week, only then it will be for the National Championship.
If Boise State can win, finishing undefeated in the process, maybe people will finally recognize that just because a team is not in a BCS (top 6) conference, that doesn't mean they don't deserve to play for the national championship. I think this victory (if it happens) will go a long way in spurring a playoff (finally) system. Go Broncos!
