Florida.  That was the $350 Answer.  After the horrible beating Michigan took by USC, I came to think, if a team with 2 losses could just MANHANDLE UofM, I began to think, what could really happen.  Now, I'm a big 10 fan at heart, but i'm very anti-osu.  I'm a Miami fan that lives close to Ann Arbor Michigan.  What's more to hate about OSU???  After the USC/UofM game, I decided to give my bookie a call.  $50 on Florida, going 7:1.  *yes, that's a straight up bet for those not in the betting world.  that's why there's no spread*  After the first 16 seconds of the game, I turned it off, thinking it was going to be a big mistake.  I mean, what was Florida doing there?  Good thing I checked it before I went to bed though, because that score, 41-14, was just so horrible.  So I sit here and look at what transpired.  Mich and OSU getting manhandled.  I came to the conclusion, we have to have a playoff system.  When the "best" team gets the #### kicked outta them like OSU did, and the "#3" ranked team gets the #### kicked outta them like Mich did, a playoff system will bring one thing, better matches.  Now, I do think a weekend would've been better if it went something like UofM vs. OSU, Florida vs. Boise St./USC, but that's because i'm a FOOTBALL fan more than  fan of those teams.  When people are ranking the National Championship in the "dont bother to watch" category, somethings wrong. 

No offense to Florida, they played a great game, and deserved to win, but I still feel Boise St. deserves 1/2 or all of the national title.  They did everything asked of them.  Went 13-0...undefeated...  nobody beat them, period.  Tell me why they wouldn't deserve it, but my question is, does anyone know where like, a possible "final rankings".  I'd like to see something like this.

1/2 Florida

1/2 Boise St.

3. USC

4/5 Louisville

4/5 LSU

I believe a lot of people who are looking at this "playoff picture" is forgetting one thing.  These guys are students.  It goes Collegiate, then athletic in the acronym.  If you add a playoff, well, let's look at what would happen if you added a playoff.  Everyone is Keen on that Jan. 8th date, so lets take the finals to Jan 8th.  So, there would be 4 teams on Jan 1st, then bringing it back to saturdays, 8 teams on the 23rd of December, and 16 teams on the 16th.  Now pending on where you go to school, that date is finals week... even the week afterwards can be finals week.  So, for those players that need that degree, seeing as College Football will probably be as far as they go, and with teams playing up into December, grades are going to be a factor. 

So where do we go?  Well, these students who already have a tough time by practicing and schooling, studying, and playing in their games, will now have to add 2 more games during their season, that's during their finals.  So then students will drop out and not be able to pay some of the games, because they're not concentrating on their studies, which will then bring down the competition.

Sure it sounds like a longshot, but it makes sense.  Everyone that screams playoffs needs to understand their is reprocussion to doing playoffs.  It's not just a perfect system, cause if it was, I think they would've changed it by now. 

We talk about it nearly every year.  We need a playoff?  The top 2 teams aren't going!  etc. etc.  Honestly, it's not like the BCS was made on purpose to screw teams, it was made to make things more fair, and on this note, it was the humans, not the BCS that voted Florida in, instead of Michigan.  So stop ####ing about the computers, when more people voted against the rematch, than for Florida.  **proven fact, just look at the difference in votes between before the UCLA/USC game, and afterwards**  Michigans votes stayed the same, yet everyone that voted for USC 2, Michigan 3, and Florida 4, decided to change to Florida 2 Michigan 3. 

Again, here is another point as to why a playoff system is bad.  IT'll create MORE controversy than ever.  EVEN LSUFan's Blog, the 11 d-1a and 5 at large, will shut off this playoff scheme.  The only way a playoff would work, is if the top 4 teams made it....  but not even the top 4 teams are in the top 4. 

My final word is simple.  GIVE UP!  Your ####ing won't change the system.  Live with it like everyone else is beginning to.  Go Big Ten. 

Listen, I'm all for a fair chance at everyone who's deserving play for the national title, but when it comes down to it, theirs a few flaws.  If you don't want to read all of them, PLEASE PLEASE read #3

1) How would the top 16/8/4 teams in the nation be decided.  Don't you dare say BCS, cause if you think you had problems with teams going 11-1, what about those 10-2 teams, they're a lot more of those.  Who gets in?  Are their going to be certain rules at amounts per conference, like the bowl games currently?  and we all know the human polls are pretty biased.

2) If you didn't want rematches now, you're guaranteed to see them in the playoff system.  Possibly two or three of them.  Fans are pretty p.o.'d about if UofM and OSU did, what if there were 3-4 a playoff. 

3) Michigan vs. OSU November 18th 2006.  IF there was a playoff, and this game happened.  What in the HECK would be the point?  Michigan and OSU would be both guaranteed to make playoffs, so why would Tressel or Carr wan't to take the chance of playing all their starters, giving them a chance to get hurt.  It would almost KILL the rivalry.  Or the Arkansas Florida SEC championship game.  USC vs. ND in the 2nd to last game for USC. 

And this is the final word.  The National Championship game was played on November 18th.  Michigan lost 39-42 to the National Champions, OSU.  Good game.
