Here's the problem with the national championship. When you "selected" the champion, you had the #2 team crying about it. When you had a BCS championship that pitted #1 against #2, you had the #3 team crying about it.

With a four team playoff, now you have the #5 team crying about it. If you consider expanding to eight, you're going to piss off the #9 team.

And so it goes, ad infinitum.

The NCAA did a GREAT job this year with their selections. Those were three of the best bowl games I've ever seen.

Am I the only person who thinks that Urban Meyers is a chump for running the score up with a 15 point lead, 20 seconds to play, and no Oregon time-outs, instead of doing the classy thing and taking a knee? I can see running up the score in the old days when the national champion was based upon the final subjective opinions and polls of the sportswriters and coaches, but it makes no sense to me under the current format.
