Off the grid

With the ’07 SC juggernaut,

The Trojans should have notched the top spot;

In two rounds of the draft,

“They picked seven,” they laughed.

But against Stanford they weren’t quite so hot.

This college football playoff scenario is the easiest thing to fix. They have the right system already in place with three major bowls playing on New Year’s Day and the “championship” game nearly a week later. All they have to do is play No. 1 against No. 4 in one New Year’s game and No. 2 vs. No. 3 in another. The third game on New Year’s can be whoever that bowl wants as a best draw, whether it’s geographical or whatever. The championship game would be a week later against the winner of the other two games.

If this scheme fails, there can be only one reason. They like it the way it is because everyone talks about it.
