I accept there are few bodies larboard who wouldn’t accede with the afterward statement: article needs to change in academy football.

Now, we can altercate until we’re dejected in the face about the what-ifs and adduce theories for a academy football playoff arrangement as the majority of academy football admirers accept been accomplishing back the BCS came into actuality and alike before, but we’d be adage the aforementioned things we said aftermost year, and the year before, and the year before…

There are abounding things we can’t change about academy football, but let us allege of two things that can be afflicted that will absolutely calmly accomplish the bold better.

This year, I’d like to adduce article simple to activate with: a accepted cardinal of amateur played by every aggregation in NCAA Division I football.

It always gets overlooked, but is it absolutely fair to the almanac books that in a four-year academy football career, one amateur may comedy up to 8 amateur added than addition player? I don’t anticipate so. The acknowledgment is simple. Each aggregation plays 12 amateur of a approved division and any championship amateur or basin amateur are not counted against their career statistics, but counted as playoff statistics (like all able sports are so acceptable at doing), so that no amateur can anytime almanac added than 48 amateur of academy football. It wouldn’t alike be difficult to go astern and accept this aphorism administer to antecedent seasons.

This division was absolutely an aberration showcasing bristles best teams, three of them from alleged ability conferences. In antecedent seasons, admirers accept been affected to altercate about which one-loss aggregation should be in the civic championship and occasionally if a two-loss ability appointment aggregation should be ranked academy than an best Hawaii, Utah, or Boise State. I adopt the antecedent arguments.

Is there a way to attending at these bristles best teams and accord them any array of fair agitate in which basin amateur they get to comedy in? No, not entirely. Alike if you approved to accomplish a playoff, you’d never be able to accomplish it big abundant to accommodate all teams with a affirmation to actuality the best aggregation and baby abundant to be completed in a reasonable bulk of time.

The alternative of those 4, 8, 16, or 32 teams for a playoff would be aloof as abstract and aloof as arguable as the accepted system. Any playoff arrangement would accept to change and be re-arranged with every division to be anywhere abutting to effective.

For instance this season, what would you do? I’d altercate for a six-team playoff this division with the bristles best teams forth with Florida giving Alabama and Texas a bye, but alike that isn’t absolutely fair because chief who gets the bye is abstract and who gets the sixth atom is subjective. I anticipate it would be the best way for this accurate season, but it is not alike abutting to perfect. Only three of the six ability conferences are represented.

So my additional absolute simple angle is as follows: if a aggregation ends the division best and wins its basin game, whether it be the BCS Championship Game, addition BCS basin game, or alike a non-BCS basin game, they should be adored in money aloof as the BCS best is awarded and that amount should be academy than a non-undefeated aggregation acceptable a agnate basin game.

What that agency is that alike if the BCS decides that a academic 12-1 Florida should comedy a academic 12-1 Texas in the BCS Championship Bold abutting division and there is a academic 13-0 Boise State that wins its basin bold over a academic 10-2 Ohio State, Boise State should accept added money for their win than whoever wins the absolute championship game.

No, of advance it isn’t perfect, but it provides some faculty of antithesis amid teams that go undefeated, which is an ability I accept account advantageous whether you are from the WAC, Mountain West, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, or any added conference.

Money is a simple way to akin the arena acreage in the aboriginal bit back there is no credible way to akin the arena acreage back it comes to glory.

In the end, yes, academy football is unfixable in that it will never be perfect. It will never amuse everyone. That is impossible. There are still measures that can be taken, however, that are simple and would advance the game.

Yet we should be beholden that the BCS has at the absolute atomic accepted us bristles absolute adorable basin amateur this year. It will be absorbing to see if three teams will be able to lay affirmation to some allocation of the abstract appellation of “champion.”
