It's been a big debate about whether college football should have a playoff or not.
Almost every year this debate comes up because there are always more than two teams that could be playing for the championship.
At times there are more than a few undefeated teams.
Picking just the two and saying the winner of that game is the champion leaves the season very unresolved.
One solution is a college playoff.
There are many arguments against it, but are they actually valid? Some say that a college playoff would be too disruptive for the students.
It would make their schooling too difficult playing some extra games at the end of the season.
When examined, this doesn't make much sense.
First of all, every division of football has a playoff but just one.
It has been this way for years without academic problems.
Not only does college football do this but also basketball and other college sports.
At least college football playoffs are near the beginning of a semester where there isn't as much work and final projects due which gives some time to focus on everything needed academically.
Secondly, most teams that would be in the playoff already play an extra game as they go to a bowl game under the current system.
In an eight team playoff there would only be four teams in the entire league that would play extra games compared to what they play now.
Two would play one extra game and two would play two extra games.
This is hard to justify not having it because just a couple schools would have extra games in a league of over 100 teams.
There can be a handful of reasons why there could or could not be a playoff, but the disruption seems like the least of the problems to this situation.
