"We will not cross that line and get onto the slippery slope — the professionalization of college football and a furthering of the arms race. We simply have to say no." — E. Gordon Gee, Ohio State president
"Last week, Bowl Championship Series commissioners breezily dismissed a four-team playoff proposal almost before it was proposed."
"It sounds hard-hearted for Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany to say the pressure for a playoff system is coming only from "external forces."
In this case, "external forces" represent the millions of fans who pine for a more definitive way of deciding the nation's best team.
But after listening to Delany, Gee, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and OSU football coach Jim Tressel, it's clear a playoff system is not going to happen any time soon. The vast majority of people who run college football like the way it's working. They like the bowl revenue, they like the television revenue and they like the pageantry and tradition. They don't buy the notion that there is a crying need for an overhaul."

Too me, this topic is such a no brainer. The system is in need of a playoff overhaul. We'll be back next fall/winter to bickering about who's team is better based on schedule, conference etc rather than settling it on the field. Here's hoping for multiple teams finishing with perfect seasons.
now, back to my favorite sport........................

Excellent assessment there Paully..
I'm looking forward to next year's fun and debate who's the best. Great times...

I would love it. I have dreamed of seeing back here since he left. I remember watching him and his dad play in the Kingdom. That smooth stroke of his. We could use him.
