College Football

Last night's college football National Championship game is a perfect example of how college football is superior to pro. The final top 25 rankings however display why college football still has a long way to go with regard to fairness. Take the example of my alma mater, Wisconsin. Wisconsin finished with a 10-3 record after easily beating Auburn in the Capital One bowl. Auburn finished with a 9-3 record, yet the final top 25 rankings has Auburn at 14 and Wisconsin at 15. Now I could understand if their final records were different but considering their records were essentially the same and Wisconsin beat them in a head-to-head matchup, Wisconsin should be ranked higher. It just goes to show that too much of college football is based off of opinions. If they have to do rankings (I prefer playoffs), I think it should be Vegas oddsmakers who do the final rankings. These are guys whose job it is to know which team is better. Coaches and sports writers lack the accurate knowledge of every team's abilities and lack true impartiality.
