Hang your banners high

Wow.

This year's bowl season is PERFECT proof we need a playoff system.

OU (who lost to Texas) lost to Florida in the "national title game" and shouldn't have played in that game to begin with. Texas rightfully claimed stake for that game and never got a chance to play... but wait, so did So Cal and wait a minute there young'n... UTAH didn't even lose this year why not give them a shot?

There are 4 teams standing right now. Florida, Utah, Texas and So Cal. That's 4 teams that could be printing out national title banners, shirts and rings and claiming to be the best in the country but only Florida will be crowned the official "Champion".

It's crap and it's not the way it should be. There HAS to be a playoff in the future. There's more money in it. There's more to play for. And the games will mean more (even the regular season games).

It's sad to think how far there is to go until they fix it.

So mucho congrats to Utah, Texas, So Cal and esp Florida for earning that title on the field. Hang your banners high!
