Wild Card Weekend Looked a Lot Like the College Football Playoff — Which Is Exactly the Problem

Now contrast that with what college football has been for decades.

Every single game is life or death if you’re a team trying to compete for a championship.

There are rivalries fraught with generations of hatred passed down to children before they can walk.

No, there weren’t.

If we expanded the Playoff to 128 teams, Kennesaw State-FIU on a Tuesday night would be very meaningful.

Sure, Georgia could make it at 1-11, but we would have more meaningful games!

Those ultimately meant nothing.

I don’t recall too many tears being shed.

But they didn’t do that, because making the CFP used to be very difficult and exclusive.

Unfortunately, what college football used to be is gone now.

It’s the NFL with better atmospheres.

But I suppose I was wrong.
