Fans Support Having One Season-Long College Football Playoff

According to a new poll released by IHateTheBCS.com, fans support eliminating the college regular season and bowl system completely, just having one extended playoff where every team can participate. The 128 team single-elimination playoff would start the first week in September and go on for seven weeks, with teams getting a week off after every other round so they can party and hook up with freshmen girls like normally college students. It would also allow a team that nobody has ever heard from a conference that nobody has ever heard of to have a chance to win the title. Anything can happen in one game...or seven.

Supporters of the new system argue that this is the only way to incorporate every team in the FBS and to name a true college football champion. Furthermore, the playoffs would end early enough to give the players time to study for their finals in December, rather than focusing on meaningless bowl games like the New Mexico Bowl, presented by the state of Arizona. Players of the teams who choke in the first round can spend the rest of their semester focusing on their school work and thinking of excuses to miss classes on Fridays instead of having to travel 2,000 miles to lose on an non-televised game by twenty points.

However, some college players are completely against such a system. A player who did not want to be named (We'll just call him #24 on Michigan) said that it gives an unfair equal opportunity to schools such as San Jose State and Wyoming. "Those are some WAC schools" he said. "Schools like Michigan deserve to have a better shot of winning the national title instead of those schools. It's unfair that they only have to win seven games to be named champion."
