While there's been a lot of support for a playoff in college football coming from people in power lately, something tells me that head football coach Mike Leach of Washington States idea for a college football playoff is never going to fly. He's proposing a 64 team playoff. The downside to it is there will be alot of schols with 6-6 records playing in it. The upside to it is that the small schools, like Florida Atlantic, orTroy State would get a chance to play for a National Championship if they ran the table. This system would prove to the college football world if a smaller conference school could hold it's own with a powerhouse like the SEC.I have supported the idea of a playoff in college football for just about my entire adult life. I understand the concept behind Mike Leach thinking, but the idea of a 64-team playoff in college football will is stretching it way to far. There's already enough uproar over the idea of a 6-6 team qualifying for a bowl game, I can only imagine what people would say when 5-5 teams, or maybe 4-6 teams, qualified for a playoff.
I hope to see a playoff implemented in college football. In the years past some teams, (Auburn 2004) have been cheated out of a chance to play for the title. A system needs to be put into place that will allow a true champion to be crowned. Read more about a 64 team playoff here
