Ok, so for those that doubted this before, yesterday's Sugar Bowl proved that we need a college football playoff system. Despite my allegiance to the Y, you had to be impressed with the way Utah handed it to a very talented Alabama team. After all, wasn't this the same 'Bama team that was ranked #1 all through November? Wasn't this the same 'Bama team that Florida beat to earn a spot in the national title game? Isn't Utah the only FBS team with a 0 after the dash? The Utes have now beaten 3 Top-15 teams and the only team to beat USC.
You could have a playoff system that includes the top 8 teams at the end of the year. The bowl system could be preserved as a part of the playoff system. Sure, there would be teams left out... but it's better in my mind that a #9 team, which this year would be Boise State, is left out of a playoff system than a strong... (gulp) underrated Utah team be left out of a title shot.
