Well, this debate usually starts toward the end of the College Football season, but what the hell. Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past few days, you have undoubtedly heard about App State’s upset victory over the then #5 ranked Michigan Wolverines. With the recent release of the major college poll rankings, Michigan has the dubious honor of falling completely out of both polls. What is the fall out from this loss? So far just a bunch of disappointed Wolverine fans and media banter regarding the Wolverine’s fall from grace. Not to mention Carr is officially on the coaching hot seat.

My immediate thoughts were that this game is a major addition to the ever growing list of arguments as to why college football needs a playoff to truly decide its Champion. Yes, this is the beginning of the season, but are we that naive that we can think the pollsters can only get”it” wrong at the start of the season? I don’t think so. This mistake can and has also been the case at the end of the season. Remember, this Wolverine team has multiple top NFL prospects that returned in hopes of winning a National Championship.  What will happen if Michigan beats Wisconsin or Ohio State?  Will they also plummet down or out of the polls?  I doubt it.  It’s time for those in power of the college football empire to do the right thing. Give the fans and the student athletes what they deserve. A playoff that truly crowns the best team in the country.
