College Football

I watched more college football on TV this year than ever before.  It was a great season.  For the first time ever there will be a four team playoff to determine the national championship.  It will be glorious!

Conference champions used to be determined by won-loss records.  Now they have two divisions in each of the major conferences with a championship game.  Today was championship game day.  Nothing but good teams playing other good teams to determine the best teams.  Four of the very best teams will be invited into the playoffs.  Teams not invited will play in the other traditional college football bowl games in late December and on New Years Day.

For years, most college football games were on cable TV and not on broadcast TV precluding my watching them.  This year I found a way to watch regular season and bowl games over the web via an inexpensive subscription service for less than the price of a month of cable TV.

I am grateful for the pageantry of college football, great games and the optimism of youth to be enjoyed while watching great young “amateur” athletes play their hearts out.
