In reading ESPNs website this AM, I see a pretty good argument being made for Virginia Tech needing to be in the Championship game against either Texas or USC. Likewise, Alabama could end up undefeated in the always tough SEC conference. This opens the door to two good teams ending up with no losses. In any higher tier of sports this is absolutely unacceptable.
However shall we fix this quandary of who should be playing for #1?
It's high time for college footballs bowl system to go away or be adapted into a round robin playoff system to give the championship title to the team that truly deserves it.
It's not tough. Take the top eight teams via the BCS/Rankings/Voodoo system of the moment used and put them in a playoff. Make each rounds playoff game be sponsored by such and such company just like the bowl game was. Play it in a neutral venue. This would require two extra games, but would leave no doubt who the National Champion really is.
Look at the excitement March Madness creates for the NCAA, and basketball isn't nearly the PR powerhouse college football is. Imagine the extra earnings from powerhouse teams matching up in games that actually matter?
The teams deserve this. The fans deserve this. It's time.
