Tony Pike Has Lead Cincinnati To Undefeated Record

Don’t you think it is time for a playoff in college football. In my opinion the BCS standings are flawed. To narrow it down to just two teams based on the current standings just doesn’t work for me. I do not like the fact that you can defeat a team early in the season and then get penalized later in the season because that team suffered another loss further into the season.  Another factor is the biased that can be shown for a particular school by the people voting.

My solution is to take the top eight teams and have a playoff. You would have 1-8,2-7 and so on. Yes this would add a couple more games for the schools but they could get rid of one game during the regular season. You would do this January of course and the students are off during this time for winter recess. This playoff would lead to no disputing of a true national champion. This playoff also incorporates the BCS standings so that will still stay vital in determining the playoff teams.

Right now you have six unbeaten teams. Florida, Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, and Boise St. Teams seven and eight are Oregon and Ohio State respectively. Ohio State at # 8 is a full 103 points ahead of the number nine team Iowa. So you see this would work ,and who would not like to see a team like TCU or Boise St. get a chance to knock off a bigger power in a playoff.

I love college football with a passion. It is time to get away from tradition and give the fans what they want and deserve. I only hope that in the near future this dream playoff becomes a reality.
