Driving home tonight, I caught the tail end of an interview with Scott Frost on the XM Radio College Football channel. I wish I'd heard all of it. He was very impressive.
I never heard him "take the bait" that was offered ( a couple of times) to criticize the CFP committee's decision to bypass UCF. He did say he'd like to see some changes made. Said he grew up not liking subjective sports, like Ice Skating.
When ask for his top priority for changes, his answers surprised me...
1) Force ALL FBS teams to play an equal # of conference games,
2) Force ALL FBS teams to play ONLY against other FBS teams.
I would agree whole-heartedly with both. He made a great point: If the B1G only played 8 conference games, there's a 33% chance Ohio State wouldn't have HAD to play Iowa, and would have been in the playoffs. And, if the SEC played 9 games, there's a 33% chance that UGA and Bama would have already played each other, and ONE of them would NOT have been in.
He also said, (and this was the smartest part)... "Don't blame the SEC for this.. they're doing what's SMART for THEM".
Someone... either the NCAA (as if..) or Dr. Pepper, whoever.. needs to enforce some standards on the whole. Force some semblance of conformity.
If I were a Cornhusker fan, I'd be encouraged.
