I agree that all teams in the top 16 have a question about how they would fare against Mizzou or WVU.
All college football fans across the country should start screaming for a play off system. The top 16 ranked teams should be allowed to compete with the top two meeting in Jan for the championship.
...
If Ohio State fans want to avoid an upset stomach, they might not want to root too hard for Oklahoma to beat No. 2 Kansas or No. 4 Missouri in next week's Big 12 Championship Game in San Antonio. The No. 5 Buckeyes should really save themselves from being embarrassed for the second season in a row.
The Buckeyes' national title hopes seemed lost when they fell to Illinois 28-21 on Nov. 10. Then Oregon, Oklahoma and finally LSU lost while the Buckeyes watched. But Ohio State's chances of winning the BCS title are still fleeting, at best. Even if the Buckeyes use the back door to the Louisiana Superdome by finishing in the top two of the final BCS standings, they don't stand a chance against West Virginia.
After Florida ran up and down the field against a better Ohio State team in a 41-14 win in the 2006 BCS Championship Game, the Mountaineers might actually lap the Buckeyes on the Bayou. The Mountaineers are really that fast.
Think Gators quarterback Tim Tebow can run? White runs better.
"I'm biased," Rodriguez said. "I think he's the best football player in the country. Pat has done it his whole career. He makes plays when plays aren't there, and when plays are there, he makes them better."
Think Florida receiver Percy Harvin is fast? Devine and Slaton are faster. Collectively, no other team in the country has as much speed as the Mountaineers.
...
And then you would have the number 17 team moaning because they were left out.
I still think the best thing to do is divide all teams into 16 conferences of 16 teams. Let each conference be divided into two divisions with a one game League Conference championship game.
From there, you would have a 16 team 'Tournament of Champions'.
Polls would be eliminated from a roll in determining the champion.
Screw rankings, they're political anyway, just have the conference champs in a play-off. Three weeks tops.
That is why I have been promoting the idea of having a bracket system in place for the college football the way they do it for the basketball.
