re: Upcoming battle for Slive: College football playoff?

A plus 1 format with a conference title mandate would be so much worse than what we have right now. I will add that the comments in the media that state that only Bama fans would be opposed to the conference title mandate are out of line. Bama fans realize that what happened this year was about a once in a lifetime occurrence, and there is very little chance the country would allow that to happen again with Bama. THe real problem is it's just too easy to see all kind of scenarios playing out where really bad teams make it in (ie Wisconsin this year). And don't get me started about a possible exception being made for ND. ND would basically have to just get themselves ranked in the top 10-15 to make the big dance. horseshite.
