It almost seems fitting. On the last weekend of the college football season until the bowl games, both the number one and number two teams lost. Missouri lost to Oklahoma 38-17, but the Sooners were expected to win, at least by me. West Virgina lost Pittsburgh, now that is shocking. The top two teams should never lose in the same week. This year, it has happened twice in two weeks. This is the year for a playoff, but unfortunately there won't be one.

A playoff would be great because no one on earth would know who would win it all. Every other level of college football has a playoff, why can Division I-A have it? The playoff system would be so exciting to watch. Can you imagine LSU vs USC and the next week LSU vs Ohio State? For the people that are concerned about their precious bowl games, you can keep them ALL. (Even the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 bowl!) The bowl games would just have a different meaning.

In my blog exactly seven days ago I said it there should be an eight team playoff. After deep reflection and meditation (otherwise known as watching football), I think there should be a playoff of the top twelve teams in the nation, just like in the NFL. The top four teams in the BCS would have a first round bye and the other teams would be assigned to their playoff game accordingly.

I don't think it would be a bad thing to give some of the bowl games more meaning!
