Texas vs. Ohio State shouldn't be an aberration. It should be the norm.<br /><br />Sadly, schools are obsessed with making it to a BCS bowl given the step up in cash involved. Many teams are willing to slate 2-4 crappy out of conference games that will be home sellouts anyway over giving us the most quality football games in a season. I'm proud of Georia this year for giving us Oklahoma State, Arizona State, and A&M instead of tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum, and maybe an Outback Bowl opponent. In the end, Georgia made less money but gave us better football. Not many schools are willing to do that sort of thing.<br /><br />Playoffs or not, I don't really care. I just want to see good college football on a regular basis. Given the current climate, I think a better place to start than playoffs is campaigning for conference-agnostic entrance requirements for any BCS Bowl. For example, if you don't play 10 losable games, you're out. If we're going to argue that every games counts, let's actually mean it. Because near as I can tell, it doesn't really count when Florida plays Jacksonville State, but if they played the real USC, we'd have a lot better idea of how to rank both teams at the end of the season.Dantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469645009950587832noreply@blogger.com
