College football officials are discussing implementing a playoff system that would create both a semi-finals round, as well as a championship title match, or a final four tournament if you will.
Sources in several conference offices, athletic directors and television networks told The Post that support is steadily growing for a “Plus-1,” format in which there will be a national championship game following the playing of two “semifinal games.”
The first title game could be played in 2011.
Whoa, 2011? Slow down there fellas – don’t you want to take a little more time to figure out if this would be best for the game? I mean, college football fans have only been clamoring for a playoff system since before dinosaurs walked the earth, now you’re saying we could have one in place no later than four years from now? I think my head is spinning with excitement.
It took these bastards forever just to implement a championship game, now they’re finally talking about improving the system and they’re only going to a “Plus-1” format? If it’s going to take until 2011 just to do a four-team playoff tournament, why don’t you take the four years and figure out how to implement a full-scale eight to sixteen team system? At this rate, college football will finally have a full playoff system no later than 2067.
