Madness

Ok, so maybe the national spotlight has left the banks, but I remain. It is a crazy system, and one that is rife with prejudice and historical bias. I don't want to hear about the Big East as a weak conference anymore. Every conference, every team, is vulnerable (see USC at Oregon State, Texas v. A&M, and Florida v. South Carolina while not a loss, but a clear indication of their vulnerability). Ok, so we don't have a long list on national championship teams, but even the teams that left, Miami, Va Tach, BC, who everyone called the class of the conference, are not exaclty conquering the world. It's like a broken record, that conference sucks, this conference is the strongest...if the teams had a chance to play, there would be a definitive answer, but instead we are stuck in a self-fulfilling NCAA edict to keep it a murky national scene, so many teams can remain in contention, and many arguments can carry on about who deserves to be there. Playoffs? I know it is some kind of taboo word....too many teams would end their season with a loss, thus too many coaches would be judged a failure...I don't see why 4 or 8 teams couldn't play an extra week or two to give a chance to a somewhat fair amount of teams...or why not do January madness and invite the top 64 football teams? Now that would be exciting....
