Today’s college football playoff debate does in fact rhyme with the BCS, and the AP/UPI/Coaches/Insert Poll Name Here era of “deciding” the national champion. When it comes to the college football postseason, it's all about the click-bait, and conflict, of course moves the needle. The same will hold true … [Read more...] about College Football Postseason: They Want Chaos and Debate, Never Sensibility and Reason
