I'm Back Like I Forgot Somethin...

When it comes to college football and the BCS, I have a tougher time makin up my mind than Brett Michaels does on "The Rock of Love." But after a little thinking, I may finally have it right.

Okay, I started thinking this while watching the Panthers game yesterday, when I was studying for exams. The biggest argument I hear from people to keep the BCS is because it makes for a more intense atmosphere, yet intensity still strives in the NFL. With the level of excitement I see in the NFL week in and week out, there will be ten times that at the college level. Think about students when they realize they can earn home field advantage for the playoffs, you think they won't get up and be just as focused on the field and just as loud in the stands. You tell me I have a chance for an extra tailgate at the fairgrounds and I'll even cheer for the band at halftime.

Some marquee match ups won't have the same at stake, but for every one of these games lost there will be three others with teams battling for playoff spots. In a system now where you have to strive for perfection over injuries, shaky refs, and bad luck I'm tired of seeing good teams lose one game and disappearing from the scene faster than Chedder Plaxes pistol. If you were dating Brook Burke you wouldn't rule out marriage if the one of twelve dates was terrible (Yes that is how I view my relationships, each date is a game during a season and with the national championship game being with the girl I marry....nah not really I just thought it was a cool analogy) If you really want more intensity from a college football game find a bookie and bet more than you can afford on the game, by the third quarter you'll have bigger sweat stains than Vitale in Cameron Indoor.

Think of the benefits of a playoff aside from just the on-field action. ESPN could conduct their own version of the cbs road to the final four selection show, using the college Gameday crew except replace Chris Fowler with Charles Barkley. Just imagine a camera focused on Barkley's face as Corso tries to explain his point of view, it'd look something like if you told a Raiders fan that Al Davis had a heart attack.....and lived.

Of course you would also have to add some inspirational song to recap the entire playoff after the championship game was over, since "one shining moment" is taken already I was thinking something by the Jonas Brothers maybe.
