Who Wants Playoffs?
Everyone wants playoffs.
- Politicians – Barack Obama: “Get eight teams — the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a national champion.”
- Coaches – Pete Carroll: “Who can properly figure this thing out? It’s so subjective, I don’t know how you figure it out. That’s why even presidential candidates want to see playoffs. Everybody wants to see ‘em. Then we don’t talk like this.”
- Players – Colt McCoy: “It’s going to be hard not to argue that there should be a playoff system. That’s not my call, but I’d be all for it.”
- Media – Mike Wilbon: “few things are as egregiously flawed as the Bowl Championship Series.”
- Fans – A Quinnipiac survey showed that 63% of fans favor getting rid of the BCS.
