One of the reasons that I’m really not a fan of the playoffs.

I think the worst thing is that when a team is out of the picture, the fan interest drops precipitously.

The game after Florida lost to Georgia, there were thousands of empty seats for Florida’s next game against Missouri.

I liked it better the way it was before, when you could argue over who was the best team. Now College Football is just like the NFL. Gone are the traditions that made it great.

From one Gator to another, I agree whole heartedly. It was much better when lots of teams could look forward to many great bowl games, and the arguing of who’s best could last till beginning of the next season and sometimes beyond.

Yes agree. Pretty soon the national championship games will have “star studded halftime shows” with beer companies competing for ad time during the game.
