Frozen from Florida

Hey everyone:
Well, after a 10-day holiday in Florida (where the weather was in the 80s every day) I come back to snow and ice. Yuk! Vacation was great but now it's back to the business of sports. Hot stove still heating up. NFL playoff races beginning to sort themselves out and then there's the whole mess that's called the BCS.
Now more than ever the BCS needs a playoff format. I'm not necessarily saying the BCS got it wrong by putting Ohio State and LSU in the championship, but what about Oklahoma, Georgia, Virginia Tech and USC. They all have valid arguments they should be playing in New Orleans next month.
Oh well, maybe someday those who run college football will follow the lead of their college basketball brethren and go to a playoff format. At least in college basketball, as it is with all professional sports, you can unquestionably say who the top team is at the end.
Can we honestly say that about college football?
I didn't think so.
Until next time, take care and God bless.
