NCAA playoffs.

The FCS has had playoffs for a really long time. This is the first year that the FBS has decided to have playoffs as well. It’s a good idea to have playoffs because that way you are able to have the two best teams play each other in the rose bowl. Before there would be teams in different conferences with the same record but would not get the opportunity to play because of the fact that they were in a different conference. So the NCAA decided to make it so that the 4 best teams in college football will be able to play each other no matter if the are in the pac 10 or even an independent conference. They will take the best records of each team and make a bracket. Those teams will play each other and the winner takes all. The question is why did it take so long for them to switch to playoffs in the first place?

            Bowl games are huge in college football  because that’s where all the money is. So they thought that if they did playoffs that they wouldn’t have enough bowl games and fans would not want to go as bad anymore. But they are finding out that it will be the opposite. Because of this teams that have never played each other before will finally get to play. Every year there are two big bowl games and every year people ask the same question. What if this undefeated team played this undefeated team who would win? And because of how everything was played out the would never have the opportunity to see who the best college football team in the world is.  The fact that they are now having the best teams and the best record teams play each other will make it so much more exciting for the fans. And to be honest its all about the fans and the reaction they will get out of this. They did a vote to see if its something the fans would want to happen and 90 percent of them said it would be a good idea.

            I also find this a good idea because being a player in the FCS it is really hard to make it to playoffs in the first place. Then once you do you have to keep beating out teams one after another just to make it to the championship game. The FBS championship is a 2 game playoff. You take the top 4 teams with the best record. After that you take the two teams that have won and that will be the national championship game. I find this to be very exciting because this has been talked about for years and it is finally happening. From a fan stand point I wont be able to say well my team would have beat your team anymore. Because this gives each of the best four teams to play each other. Cant wait for the national championship game!
