Kansas lost about 30 minutes ago. LSU lost yesterday. Wait a second, that means that both the number one and number two teams in the nation lost in the same week! I check my trusty calendar and yes it is November, late November to be more precise. In a season where the number two teams are cursed (The teams are 2-6 since Oct. 1), and the number one teams are not invincible, it is not surprising that the "top" teams are faltering late in the season. Is this a sign that there should be a playoff? Yes.

I like the idea of keeping the BCS around and using it to select the schools for an eight team playoff. All four of the BCS bowl games would be played as usual to select the four teams that advance to the semifinals. After the semifinals are played, then comes the mother of all bowl games: the BCS Championship Game. Then there would be no debate as to which team is number one. This format for the playoffs also extends the college football season by two weeks. This allows for two more weeks of distraction from your favorite underachieving NFL team. (cough, Vikings)
