OU 38, Mizzou 17; Pitt 13, WVU 9

Oops. Oops. Oops.

Is it time for a college football playoff yet? Tonight, the two top-rated teams in the country - our Big XII's University of Missouri Tigers and the ACC's West Virginia Mountaineers - both hit the skids against their opponents, leaving the whole BCS system in a shambles, at best, and somewhere near the Sony Betamax in terms of utility, at worst. You simply cannot have this much parity in a single season (with #2 being the worst spot of them all) and have the championship be decided by a vote. Unacceptable.

I might point anyone who has a few minutes to The Wetzel Plan. If you haven't read it, do so now. Really. Stop reading this blog and read that article. It details how we get from the season to the post-season to a championship without - GASP! - a vote. How do we do it? Playoffs, baby, playoffs. Bring it on home the old fashioned way. They do it in the NFL and every other NCAA division besides FBS (old Div 1-A).

Have a read...then look back at this season and tell me that a playoff won't sort it all out better than a vote.
