College Football Playoffs

    In 2014, college football finally introduced the idea we had been waiting on, The College Football Playoffs. This meant that instead of only two teams getting a chance at the national championship, it would know be four teams. Everyone that enjoys college football was very happy when this was announced.  

    The first year it was introduced, the final four teams happened to be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, and Florida State. In the first round, Oregon defeated Florida State and Ohio State defeated Alabama in an instant classic. This meant it would end up being Oregon versus Ohio State in the championship game. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon by a score of 42-20 and celebrated winning the first ever college football national championship. I still remember Ohio State winning this game and I lost my mind. I thought it was awesome to see Ohio State win the national championship, but especially with it being the first year of the playoffs. ]

    All this above is besides the point. The reason I wanted to write this is because I thoroughly believe the College Football Playoffs should be twelve or sixteen teams. I believe that this would make it more exciting but would also give plenty of other teams an option and make their season more competitive. By doing sixteen teams, it would then go to eight for the second round, four for the semifinals and then finally down to the final two for the championship. I think this would not only make college football more exciting, but would also give teams a better season and more to fight for. No matter how good some teams are, they may never have a chance if it is only four teams.
