One of the biggest problems with how college football is set up, even in this 12-team playoff era, is that high quality teams can’t have off/bad games. In the NFL, almost every good team has bad games. QBs throw stupid ints. OCs make baffling calls. But it’s part of the journey on the way to playoffs and a potential Super Bowl.

In college football, only the blue bloods (and apparently we’re only talking about P2 teams and maybe Clemson) get the opportunity to grow throughout a season. It’s just not a fair system.

And, this all leads to fans making (what I believe) to be unrealistic demands for firing solid coaches (A-Rod) or benching solid players (Retzlaff). Makes it tough to be a BYU fan (or any other non P2/Blue Blood).
