Utah beats Alabama, exposes BCS

NOW can we get a playoff system for college football? Can you imagine the NFL looking at the teams that made the playoffs and just saying, "Okay, we'll have the Titans play the Giants, and that will be the champion. The rest of you, thanks for your efforts."

The Utah Utes are the only undefeated college football team out there. They beat schools from three different BCS conferences. They deserve to at least be co-champions with whoever wins the Florida-Oklahoma game. It still amazes me that the champion for college football more closely resembles judging for ice-skating than the NFL.

Every year there's debate over who the best teams are, who should be national champions. End the debate and have a playoff system. It's stupid every year we say "This team should have had a shot" and then someone who disagress can bring up stats and tradition and whatever, but that's just it. It's debate. It's an intellectual exercise. It's not a real way to determine a football champion.
