You have something against a sport originated in drunk driving and organized crime?

I don't recall referring to you and that comment definitly didn't come from anything I read from you. It was partly in reference to a particular post and the overall college bashing by people that obviously don't know and admittantly don't follow college football.
Sometimes I think a lot of New Englanders spend a little to much time on their high horse. Constantly crapping on things that they either don't care about or understand - or just generically dogging a region that most have never visited. It gets old, especially when it takes over a thread.
Much like Penn State isn't a northeastern college? last I checked Pennsylvania was above the mason - dixon line and it is on the east coast.
The majority of the country considers DC to be in the Northeast, but they must be wrong because the people of New England disagree?
I dont know how this PA being part of the northeast debate started.
I started this thread because I've been wanting to ask this question for so long.
I love Football. I never prejudged the game at College level. I gave it a chance. I tried it to watch when some notable schools are playing. But the college system intentionally alienates average football fans from building any type of interest.
I watched many big name schools play some unknown universities and it was absolutely boring. I mean how many times would you watch the Patriots drop 56 on the Bills?!?!?!
I understand there are financial motives, the more games, the more money they bring in.
I just want to see a conference of good to average teams battle it out for 10 games. Come up with a playoff or point system.
Maybe copy the European soccer league. Different divisions, the two worst teams from Div I move down. The two best teams from Div II move up.
All you need to know about how much of a mess college football is that they were saying on ESPN that Ohio St hasn't played a game in over 50 days. That would be like playing the championship games on the 2oth and then sending the teams home and playing the Super Bowl on St Patrick's day. There is no chance that you will ever get an accurate representation of how good teams are under these circumstances.
This is how they decide their championship?
You might as well scrap it all together at that point because you can't deemphasize football one year in a lesser league and then expect to compete at the top. Ain't gonna happen.
If you want to watch one conference with good to average teams, whyn not watch the SEC exclusively?

There's a thing that happens in between called Thanksgiving, final exams and Christmas. These kids aren't pros.
College football sucks. There's no way to tell who's number one under this system. That said, I do like the Gators, the Hurricanes and the Seminoles!

So why is it that Division 1-AA has a playoff? Or Division II or III?
That excuse you are using is lame and tired. The truth is a bunch of old guys in funny blazers pay a lot of $ to colleges to keep the bowl system running and that is the only reason they don't have a playoff and without a playoff the sport will never have a legit champion.
Why won't it happen? You think going to a meaningless Bowl game is more of a motivation than having the opportunity to compete for the title?
