[QUOTE="KenR, post: 1363586, member: 177988"] The reason UCF isn't playing for a national championship is not due to the lack of an 8 team playoff. It's due to [B]money and politics[/B]. Penn State should have had their football program shut down for a period of time but instead they were just a tick or two away from getting in the almighty playoff (see money and politics). It's been about money and politics for over a half century or longer and some days it's harder to swallow than others. I'll say it again. Forget the playoff foolishness and go back to how it was. At least then it was clearly obvious it was about money and politics. It still is but the NCAA felt they needed to appeased those who would crow how a playoff is the end all be all. [/QUOTE]
