Playoffs? Tuberville Wouldn't Mind
Tommy Tuberville said what most college football fans wanted to hear. Last week, he gave his support for a playoff in NCAA football, basically because all SEC teams are doomed under the current format. Given the strength of the conference, it is quite a challenge to go undefeated in the SEC, therefore seriously jeopardizing an SEC team's chances to play for a national championship.
Today I asked some fans what they thought about Tuberville's comments and a playoff system in college football.
"I think he's absolutely right...It gives you a truer read of who is the best team." - Auburn fan J.R. Parrish commenting on a Plus-One playoff format
"I'm kind of a traditionalist, and I believe that if we ever decide to resolve this with a playoff, or any type of playoff, we couldn't argue forever and ever and ever about football. That's one of the greatest things about college football is being able to argue about." - Auburn fan Jim Holley
"It'd be nice to have (a playoff) but I'm really not sure how they would set it up and everything. I'd have to see a layout and a structure." - Auburn fan Doug Klick, who added he "probably" would prefer a playoff system to what we have now.
"I think it's a good idea. Whatever Auburn's coach says is what I like." - Auburn fan Dan Morris
Good answer, Dan.
