In spite of all the clamourings for a play-off to determine the number 1
college team in the country there are several reasons why it won't come
about.
1. Governing body ? Who ?
2. The independants. Seeing as they pretty much create their own schedule
how would anyone be able to determine how many and which independants
would be eligible for the play off ?
3. Disciplinary restrictions. Would Florida be ineligble this year ?
4. Power house conferences. Would the Big 10 or Pac 10 accept the
restriction of only college going on to the playoffs.
Until something is done to START work on the above, primarily no 1, all the
clamouring is for naught. As it is I suspect if 1 above was resolved today,
it would be 3 years before an acceptable play-off scenario could be put into
place.
For my money I'd like to see a sudden death play-off as follows :-
Round 1 - 4th Sat in Aug 512 teams
Round 2 - 4th Sat in Sep 256 teams
Round 3 - 4th Sat in Oct 128 teams
Round 4 - 4th Sat in Nov 64 teams
Round 5 - 2nd Sat in Dec 32 teams
Round 5 - 3rd Sat in Dec 16 teams
Round 5 - 4th Sat in Dec 8 teams
Round 5 - 1st Sat in Jan 4 teams
Round 6 - 3rd Sat in Jan 2 teams
