re: Bottom line we need an eight team playoff system

Ive always been a huge proponent of the BCS and totally against a big playoff to preserve the sanctity of the regular season, which is what makes college football so special and unique. I loved the fact that everything was on the line 2 weeks ago against Bama. That all or nothing victory is worth the hurt of the loss. Think of how emotionally invested we were in those games the ladt 2 years. If there were an 8-team playoff, that would have drastically taken away from the intense excitement that a few if us are able to experience once a year. If we're lucky.

That said, i think the SEC is so superior at the top, that letting a couple of our teams in makes sense. Especially with tje unbalanced schedule. I.woyld have always been te 1st to argue against LSU this year or in'06. If you want to win the NC, dont lose twice. But when you play Bama, Flirida, A&m, and South Carolina.and lose 2 very close games, you.cant be automatically discounted in favor of 1-loss Pac 12 or Big 12 teams that play substantially weaker schedules. I can get behind an undefeated Oregon or KState ovrr 2-loss LSU. But not when they lose.
