no, i agree, and i get it. i just still have this childhood image of what College football was. and that conflicts with what it really is today.
i have no delusions of grandeur in that regard. i don't have to be happy about it though. lol.
i'll put it this way, in the end, i think it's probably better to have that problem than not. and currentely, we don't have this problem....which is way worse.
Oh those days are gone....I remember going to the old Orange Bowl back in the 80s, and in some years having to wait until the Rose Bowl or Cotton Bowl was over to determine what national title significance the Orange Bowl would have.
It wasn’t determined that UF was playing for a national title in ‘96 until after Ohio State won the Rose Bowl the night before.
That setup wasn’t good enough, fans begged for a playoff, and now we have it. The irony is we could have had the old BCS format the past several years and CFB still would have gotten it right more often than not.
