pick winners and losers. From playoff committees to BCS computers to smoke-filled room conference realignment schemes, pollsters (pre-BCS), TV bean counters, TV talking heads, etc. While it can offer a freaky side show, it is no way to run an athletic system for such a glorious game. Remember when TCU was ranked 3rd in 2014 in the phony CFP Poll (which they had a show for every week of course). They go into Ames, and win 55-3 and gets bounced TWO spots. Seriously, if they were Texas and not Texas Christian, do you think that would have happened?

I love underdogs, merit, and true competition. The current system works against all of this.

Would love to see squads outside the Power 5 get a shot to grow.

I don't have time to write it up now, but soon I will post how I came to love English League Soccer and why relegation and promotion is far more interesting than any American sport's structure. I used to HATE soccer for what it is worth. So I am like a total convert. To me, college football and English soccer have a ton of similarities with rivalries (derbies), tradition, grass roots and passion.
