Will NCAA D1 football get a playoff system?
For me, it's not about the money.
The money that schools and bowls make off of the games isn't relevant for me in any way. I make the journey to Auburn once a year (if I'm lucky), and I fork out the money for the overpriced nose-bleed seats. Sure, I'll buy a pricey hot-dog and soda, but that's about the extent of my monetary investment into the sport. The rest of the season I kick back on the couch and watch from the heated comfort of my home, and I doubt I will ever make that expensive post-season ticket purchase (unless my Tigers go to Nashville, or somewhere like that).

Battles between titans are always filled with their share of anticipation, but rarely do the opponents bring in so much shared history as in the Final Four slugfest-to-be that is Kansas vs. North Carolina. Besides giving college sports fans one of the greatest championship games in history in 1957 when the Tarheels defteated Wilt Chamberlin and the Jayhawks 54-53 in triple overtime, the entwined history of these two powerhouses that follows should lead to one of the most anticipated Final Four matchups in history.

After witnessing Tennessee Volunteers defeat the number one ranked team in the nation the Memphis Tigers, it is crystal clear what this game meant: Memphis is one of the most overrated number one team. Sure, they had the second best RPI in the nation, but they just were not that good. They have not been tested at all while they faced Conference USA teams. Sure they defeated USC, UCONN, Arizona, and Gonzaga, but that was all in the start of the season when those teams were slow out of the gate. After those uplifting victories, Memphis has not been tested at all by facing mediocre teams in CUSA. While watching them face Tennessee, it was clear who was the better team. In one of its biggest games of the season, it struggled because this team has not faced this kind of atmosphere all season. The players seemed rattled by the atmosphere and there was sloppy plays everywhere. From bad shots, passes, and turnovers, it was a display that showed Memphis is not considered one of the best teams in college basketball. Even though Tennessee was horrible at times, they were able to overcome their struggles, and the crowd. They were able to prevail. Memphis shot too many threes and played selfishly as they tried to drive it to the basket when other players were open. Memphis is not a considered a national champ, but rather a national flop.
