The best thing about this year’s College Football Playoff is that it has proven plainly that the College Football Playoff needs to change. At least, if you want to have some fun.
For so many years, the college football champ was crowned via consensus, while the belief was nearly unanimous among college football fans that some sort of playoff system was needed. Instead of having a bunch of writers and coaches vote on which team was best, why not let the teams actually play against each other and figure out who’s best by playing head to head? College football is a competition, right?
