Man, it's been a long time hasn't it? I'm going to try blogging again so that my typing/writing skills don't become too emaciated.

Today's topic: College Football Playoffs

After the majority of this season's bowl games have passed, I no longer feel like a playoff for D-I football teams is a good idea. I was never really sold on the idea before, but I went along with the idea that it would be a good thing because that's what the media outlets told me.

Despite what some columnists may write about the relevency, or lack thereof, of the bowl games, the players and the coaches prepare and play the games as if they are a championship. Every team leaves everything on the field. There's arguably much more emotion spent in each bowl game than there would be in a semi-final round playoff game.

If there is a playoff, we likely would not get the instant classic Boise State victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta bowl Monday night. The game had a finality and excitment of victory you wouldn't see if the Broncos were scheduled for another game in a week.

I'll admit that 32 bowl games is a lot. But I'd rather have 32 games with the excitement that the bowl games provide than a playoff format where teams go about the games in a workman-like manner, culminating in a single championship game. Every bowl game has the feel of a championship game.

These guys are in college, they are not yet pros. Bowl games are a reward for a good season both for the players and the fans.
