The controversial topic that I have decided to write about is the discussion that has been taking place in college football for the past couple years. There is an argument over whether to keep the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) system that decides the national champion or to get rid of that system and implement a playoff to crown the number one team in college football.
Those who are for the playoff system believe that the current BCS system doesn’t allow many of the top teams in the country the chance to play for the national championship. They believe that a team who might have had a rough start at the beginning of the year, but has won seven games in a row might be able to run through a playoff to show that they are the number one team in the country. They believe that the BCS doesn’t do justice for the majority of the teams around the country.
The article that argues for the BCS staying in place believes that it should because it allows for more excitement throughout the entire year. With the BCS, every single game counts and directly affects your season. As seen through many years, a single loss could hold a team out of the national championship game and just have two undefeated teams play together.
Being a college football player, I have my own opinion on this issue. I believe that the BCS should stay intact and continue to be the system that is used to determine the national champion and other bowl games. The importance of each game is heightened when one loss can ruin a season, and the excitement brews from this. Also, a playoff system would mean that there are more games and that the season would be longer and this is something that I definitely would not be in favor for. The season is long enough as it is and it takes its physical tolls on the people involved. Obviously, viewers might like it, but they aren’t the ones having to endure it.
