College Football is the worst

College Football officially sucks. Lets thank the pollsters for making this so. Why does College Football now suck? Its pretty simple: its corrupt, and the real decision makers, the voters, are beyond morons.

I don't give a shit whether Michigan or Florida have the privilege of seeing Troy Smith et all blow them out and hoist that crystal football in about six weeks. What I do care about is that there is 1) no credible objective means by which anyone can say Florida > Michigan or vice versa. Its apples and oranges. Is the SEC the greatest conference in the world ohmygod Ole Miss would blow out Texas good that some people think? Or is the SEC incredibly overrated?

Anyone who gives you an answer besides "I don't know" is full of shit. But we allow a group of people to enjoy their Saturday doing whatever (my guess is that median games watched by these folks is 1) and then voting on Sunday morning . . . and thus deciding who gets to play who for millions of dollars and network TV time.

Its bullshit and everyone knows it. It is indefensible. And it has to change. Give us a +1 and everyone can rejoice. With a +1, I think we'd see Ohio State absolutely murder Boise State, Michigan and Florida playing a classic, and then Troy Smith throwing for 250 yards and the Buckeyes winning by at least 14 against whomever. And everyone would be happy, and TV ratings would be through the roof.

Until we have a +1, a national championship determined by having 65 of the best teams battle it out in a 3 week extravaganza is far superior to having 2 very good teams battle it out in a entirely mythical national championship game.

65 is better than 2.
