NCAA Bowl Season..... and its flaws...


The NCAA Bowl Season could be some much better.
Let me reflect on some of sports' greatest attractions....

NFL Playoffs and the Superbowl- the champ is usually the team that is peaking at the right time- rarely the top seeds.
The World Cup- where teams and players are immortalized for victory.
March Madness- one shot by the little guy thats changes the whole course of the tournament.

In one word-- Playoffs!!

I think the only way to decide which team is the best is by repeated do-or-die games, repeated pressure, and repeated execution (which is actually why I like the LSU vs. Alabama match up).

But because the NCAA seems to be oblivious that there is a reason why every sporting season ends in a playoff, we are forced to endure an dissatisfying NCAA Bowl Season.

(Just rearrange the letters to NCAA Blow Season)


Boise St. is up 28-3 over unranked Arizona St (at halftime, not surprisingly),
Baylor and Heisman winner RG3 is playing a five loss Washington team,

Seriously?! With 200+ teams in the league,
the NCAA can only come up with 4, maybe 5 good match ups?
Why not guarantee that all ranked teams play each other?
12 good games right there.

Another suggestion,
INSTEAD OF HAVING A 5 WEEK GAP TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
why not gather the top 8 teams and have a 3 week playoff.
There would still be room for 2 weeks off,
and finally all the best teams would have a chance to play.
Kansas St. and Boise St could have a shot.
OSU, Stanford, Arkansas and Oregon too.
And LSU and Alabama could further prove their dominance.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS!
