Upsets In College

ALL of those major upsets in college football this week and I couldn't enjoy any of them.

WHY? Because none of them matter with the new playoff system in place this year. Number 2 Oregon was beat. Number 3 Alabama was beat. Number 4 Oklahoma was beat. Number 6 Texas A&M was beat. Number 8 UCLA was beat. Number 10 MSU was beat. The best single week of upsets in decades and none of them mean anything.

Instead of being eliminated from the National Championship game, they all have a chance to make the playoffs at the end of the year yet. The big upsets aren't that big when they don't really matter.

The one game I did enjoy was TCU beating number 4 Oklahoma. The Horn Frogs gave the Gophers their only loss so far this year. If they beat Oklahoma, too, and are still undefeated, it makes the Gophers look that much better.

At least that's something.

College football has lost most of its luster this year.
