It appears that the college football power brokers have finally reached enough of a consensus to bring us what we've all been crying out for for so long: a real, live college football playoff.
So naturally, fans and commissioners everywhere are celebrating complaining about how the new system is still totally shitty.
The BCS is basically dead, which you would think would have everyone rejoicing, but the SEC managed to maintain a strangehold on the championship set up, and the old non-BCS conferences are still on the outside looking in. And everyone is pretty sure that the new selection committee, which will decide which four teams make the playoff, will be a big fat turd. And then there are the traditionalists like Nebraska Chancelor Harvey Perlman, and most the rest of the Big Ten, who simply resist all and any change.
The only ones who are all that happy with the new format, it seems, is the SEC, because they retain the right to have multiple SEC teams play in the playoff - a reasonable request, since at least two of the top four teams in college football usually come from the SEC.
Can't we all be happy with just a little bit of progress?
