Well, week 5 in NCAA football showed me why there needs to be a playoff in College Football. And as the weeks - and years - add up, it is getting more maddening that there are not enough people together on the issue to get it to happen.
Just look at the week 5 turnout for the top 25:
#3 OU fell to Colorado
#4 Florida fell to Auburn
#7 Texas fell to Kansas St.
#10 Rutgers fell to Maryland
#13 Clemson fell to Georgia Tech
#21 Penn State fell to Illinois
#22 Alabama fell to Florida State
Notice that the top 25 teams that were playing lower ranked teams and lost all lost to unranked teams this week, except for #5 West Virginia who lost to #18 South Florida (still an exceptional loss).
That means that at least 8 teams will have significantly lower rankings come monday. I would almost like to see how many teams so far have hit the top 25 and left it so far this season. I think I can name a few off the top of my head, such as BSU, UCLA, Louisville, Fresno St., Michigan, TCU, Georgia Tech, and Texas A&M.
And I'm sure there are others that I am not thinking of at this moment.
And we all know that this has been going on all season. And don't even talk about Notre Dame.
In reality, it is too bad that the teams in the MWC that were ranked at the top - Utah, BYU, and TCU - all stumbled at the beginning of the season. Had they won those games they lost, they would all have a good chance of being ranked.
This season is definately getting interesting.
