I love college football but I hate how college football decides its champions. You’d rather have human polls and computer programs decide who is champion than playing it on the field? Okay but there are far more like me than there are like you.

FWIW, I predicted on another board how the superconferences might lay out but this was before the most recent moves like Maryland to the Big 10:

The SEC:

Alabama*
Auburn*
Arkansas*
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
LSU*
Mississippi*
Mississippi St.*
Missouri*
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas A&M*
Vanderbilt
Virginia Tech
* - West Division

The Big 10:

Boston College
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Nebraska
Northwestern
Notre Dame
Michigan
Michigan St.
Minnesota
Ohio St.
Penn St.
Purdue
Rutgers
Syracuse
Wisconsin

The Big XII:

Baylor
Clemson*
Florida St.*
Georgia Tech*
Iowa St.*
Kansas
Kansas St.
Miami*
Oklahoma
Oklahoma St.
Pitt*
TCU
Texas
Texas Tech
Virginia*
West Virginia*
*- East Division

And the Pac-14:

Air Force
Arizona
Arizona St.
California*
Colorado
Oregon*
Oregon St.*
San Diego St.
Stanford*
UCLA
USC
Utah*
Washington*
Washington St.*
* - North Division

Now, with Maryland in the Big 10, I can see Virginia joining them with Boston College and Syracuse out unless Notre Dame refuses to join.

I like college football because it’s messy and it gives everyone the ability to have their opinion and argue about it. Why can’t we have one sport that’s not antiseptic, anal retentive, pre-programmed, chlorinated, etc. Isn’t it fun to have a little messy once in a while?

It's going to be very boring. Now that sports writers and computers will get to choose who the winners are in advance, and 95% of the teams will be playing for nothing. Tonight, USC played Notre Dame. At the beginning of the season, USC was ranked #1 and Notre Dame was unranked. Who could believe what would happen. But that's too messy. We should have just had a playoff between bUSC and Alabama, and take all the fun out of it.

The funny thing about your excuse. A few weeks ago, everyone was in a tizzy, because 4 teams were undefeated. Egad!. But guess what, 3 of those teams lost, and only one remains undefeated. So, tell me again, why are you in such a tizzy, because your fears didn't pan out?

Now we can have playoffs with predermined sportswriters' favorites, and we can have playoff with a bunch of boring blowout games. Yeah! We threw 100 years of tradition in the trash. It's like the Obama of football. And you are on the Obama side.
