2007 Bowl Season

Well this bowl season is about over and the best game so far has been the WVU game. Congrats to a team that was in turmoil without a coach, facing a team that didn't want to play them because they weren't good enough and they still whooped Oklahoma by 20. Both the Big 12 and ACC champs lost, and the Big East won. I think the Big East is the second best conference behind the SEC and the PAC 10 or Big 12 third, then the ACC then the BIG 10. Anyway I'm convinced that there will never be a playoff because of the Rose Bowl and the pigheaded Big Ten and Pac Ten. The only hope for any type of settling the championship on the field is the plus 1 game where the bowl games get played and then they either take another poll or seed the teams before you start, but as long as 1 doesn't play 2 in the first round then it really shouldn't matter. They argue that their can't be a playoff because of finals and stuff, which is totally bogus because the lower divisions have a playoff and they still attend class. Then they argue that it would take away from the regular season, because now Ohio State fans watched a WVU game or a Kansas game or something and before they would have never cared. I agree, but the last game of the season is usually a rivalry and anyone can win, unless Lou Holtz gives them a pep talk (that is the kiss of death for any team, ask Kansas), and people are interested because of the history and if teams have a good record and are playing for perfection then more people are gonna watch then normal anyway. If they just adopt the 'every conference gets a conference championship game' then that will solve most of the controversy.
