Professional football could liven up their sport if they adopted another one of college footballs great rules. (the first being the two point conversion) If pro football wanted to really generate excitement down the stretch of a game, they would simply install the movement of the chains timeout. It is a truly wonderful rule, and anyone that has watched a two minute drill in college football knows what I am talking about. Come on pro football, get your crap together.
College football needs to adopt a playoff system and I have one that is genius if I don't say so myself. Start the league schedule on week 1, don't schedule non conference games until the end of the season. (you will see why in a minute.) At week eight, take the top 16 teams and put them in a week to week tourney. The teams that are taken out of their schedule because the team they would have played is now in the playoffs simply slide into the scheduled game of the other playoff teams opponent. example: Lets say USC - ranked 1st is playing the 16th ranked BYU cougars, and lets say that in week 9 the trojans were scheduled to play WSU. Conversely, BYU in week 9 was scheduled to play San Diego State. WSU would play San Diego State in week 9. If both were home games, the team with the higher ranked playoff team opponent gets home field. It would be a real interesting way of scheduling spur of the moment non conference games. Now, lets say USC wins in week 9 against BYU. BYU goes back into their rotation of games, and USC's 10th week regular season team plays the regular season opponent of USC's 10th week playoff opponent. By the tenth week there are only 8 teams left so the regular schedule is only disrupted for eight other teams in the nation. By week 11, it's down to four teams. I like this system and believe it is beautiful. I think it has ZERO flaws.
