You have to love teams like Boise State and TCU, but will they ever be able to play for a national championship? There is a problem in college football and it needs to be fixed. College football need to switch to a playoff system so teams not from large conferences can get in, creates more excitement and suspense and just gives college football more of a professional feel.
Currently the FBS uses bowl games for teams to play in at the end of the year. The problem for this is that only two teams get to play for the championship, and does not give smaller schools a chance. Even if a team goes undefeated it gets screwed because other teams also play a great season. The controversy has become greater over recent years because of the emergence of schools like Boise State and TCU. Teams that are very good but they are not in a “strong” conference. So if the FBS switched to a playoff system it would give these teams a chance. Also it creates more excitement. All of the top 8 teams playing each other in the playoffs what more could you want. These would be great games hopefully all close and create excitement across the country. It will also help teams take in more revenue since there will be extra games played at their home stadiums. Lastly, it makes college football feel more like professional with the playoffs. This is definitely a much better system than bowl games which are not very exciting to watch and often turn into blowouts. I believe that college football should switch to a playoffs system because it would create more excitement, give college football more of a professional feel, and give more teams a chance for a national championship.
This opinion piece is much more solidly constructed than your sports column. Do you see how you state a point of view and then defend it? Well done.
