Denizens, we start this edition of the Perfect Football Weekend by yet again ripping into the Ayatollah Obambi – this time for sticking his jug-eared skank ass where it doesn’t belong – namely, the college football playoff debate.
The president-elect has begun his push even before taking office, taking on the college football oligarchy and demanding that they change in the name of fairness and common sense.
Two concepts about which the Manchurian Muslim™ knows less than dick, truth be told.
But you guys knew that already, didn’t you?
Mr. Obama mentioned the issue for the second time in a week Sunday, near the end of a 40-minute interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
But he went further Sunday than he had before, vowing to use the power of the presidency to push the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
“This is important,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m gonna throw my weight around a little bit. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
Y’know, I think I’d really, really love  to see the ball-less wonder try.  I mean, what’s he gonna do?  Sic his Truth Squad™  on ’em, hm?  Have ACORN register fake people to demand the NCAA do something?  Have Jackass-i-miah Wrong call them the NC-of-KKK-AA?
Boggles the mind, it does.
“I think any sensible person would say that if you’ve got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season and many of them have one loss or two losses [and] there’s no clear decisive winner, that we should be creating a playoff system,” Mr. Obama said.
Here’s a news flash for the Ayatollah:  Sensible  people know that, if you have two losses, you’re likely not the best college football team in America (last year’s LSU team notwithstanding).
Then again, sensible  people know you’re nothing but an empty suit with a forked tongue, anyway.  One might as well ask the First Cupid Stunt™ what she  thinks of all this, since she has all the testicles in the family anyway.
“Eight teams. That would be three rounds, to determine a national champion. It would add three extra weeks to the season. You could trim back on the regular season. I don’t know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this.”
Allow me to introduce myself, you smarmy little pisspot pussy.  I am Darth Venomous, ruler of this particular Realm™, and not only do I disagree, I think you’re a stupid little fuck.
Just for shits & giggles, let’s assume – dangerous, yes, I know – an eight-team “playoff”.  I’ve asked the entire civilized, intelligent world this – but now it’s your turn:
How are you going to determine those eight teams and their playoff seedings, dumbass?????
That kinda takes us right back to…oh, I dunno…RANKING THE FRIGGIN’ TEAMS?!?!?!  Hello?!  Bueller???
Gawd.  What.  A.  Dumb.  Fuck.
On to the PFW.  My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets are once again one-and-done…but whereas I usually have a backup team in place, this year I just don’t give enough of a shit to do that.  So we’re down to five teams.
Tonight, Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls travel to Bowling Green State University to play the Falcons in football.  BG’s actually pretty good, but they’re only a four-point favorite at home, so normally the SpatulaLine™ would be 18.
But the UBuffs have played sufficiently well this year that I think it’s time to do away with the SpatulaLine™.  Therefore, the Bulls need to win straight-up for it to count.  (We’d call this “playing without a net”, were anyone outside this house to give more than one micron of a shit about the SpatulaLine™.  
)
Saturday, 15th-ranked Texas Christian will play its final home game of the year before finding out which minor bowl wants them as a guest.  Thanks again, Ross Evans.
Saturday, the opponent is Air Force – and while AF isn’t chopped liver, TCU should win this one.
Saturday night is the latest Game Of The Century™, as Bob Stoopes’ fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners host the number two team in the nation, that being the Texas Tech Red Raiders.  Normally this wouldn’t be close, but: 1) Tech isn’t really the road juggernaut, and 2) OU is 60-2 at home during the Stoopes era.
It’ll be close.
Sunday, the Dallas C’boys, walking with a touch more swagger than recently, will host the San Transexual Fairy-Whiners San Francisco 49ers.
There is a newfound respect for the Niners, primarily because they promoted Mike Singletary to be their head coach, and This Fine Blog™ respects the hell out of Mike Singletary.  The Niners will play hard, even if they don’t play well, and Dallas would be well-advised to take much heed, lest this turn into another St. Louis debacle.
Got it, Coach Cupcake?!?!  
UPDATE:  Oh, by the way – Nebraska’s off this week.
We’re back Monday with the recap.  In the meantime, Vegas thinks so little of Bucky-Cal Poly that they don’t even have it on their board, so my question for HDD is:  Is this a trap game?

Is Cal-Poly a trap game? It certainly could be. The last time I checked (several weeks ago…I don’t really care about 1-AA ‘ball), Cal-Poly was in 2nd place in their conference, behind….Appalachian State. Yes, THAT Appalachian State.
So, Bucky better show up prepared for this game. Wisconsin *should* be able to pound Cal-Poly on both sides of the ball, due to an ENORMOUS size advantage, and *should* have enough speed (Wisconsin routinely used to keep up with SEC teams on team speed) to run by Cal-Poly, but…Cal-Poly is still a good team, and good teams find ways to win.
And, for the record, Vegas wouldn’t have a line on this game, because Vegas doesn’t keep lines on 1A-1AA matchups. Too hard to handicap, and too difficult to keep the betting 50-50 or so for the profit.
Ease up on Coach Phillips. Exactly how would YOU coach a team when your replacement was hired LAST YEAR, and is looking over your shoulder? The ‘Girls even being competitive is a testament to Coach Phillips’ professionalism. If I had to wager on it, I’d say the Arkansas Carpetbagger looked around the league, saw three owners CLEARLY worse that he was, and took it as a professional challenge to take over the Worst Owner in the NFL title.
In my very few moments of giving the slightest crap about college football, I have thought there should be a playoff. But as with anything Obambi touches, he takes an idea that otherwise might be at least halfway decent or even fairly good and turn it into unadulterated pig droppings. Not that this surprises me.
Especially so with reducing the regular season to fit it in. What in the world is this moron thinking? Does he honestly think that people will be so happy there’s a playoff that they will placidly accept that 98% of the teams will now play three less games per year? If so, he’s wrong. I don’t give a crap about college football and even I can figure this much out.
I did spend a bit of time bouncing the idea around with a (now-ex) coworker and we more-or-less figured out that if you were going to do something like this you couldn’t make it less than a 16-team field. Maybe 14 with two first-round byes.
But the ranking system would still have to be used to figure out who got in. The teams that won their division (at least for, say, the 8-to-10 “main” divisions) by best in-division record would have to be in, of course. In order to leave room for others (and to avoid allowing johnny-nobody to beat up on four winless division rivals and demand top-seeding based on a perfect division record) I’d say that only 8 division winners should get in. Those would be picked by a combination of strength-of-schedule ranking and total division record. These all get at least one home game, and are ranked by where they show up in the overall rankings. The other 6 or 8 participants are the top people who didn’t win a “major” division but are next in line on the standard vote-for-placement ranking system we have today. They might have won their division anyway (or might not have) but they get in based on general ranking not division ranking.
It’s not perfect, of course. Nothing can be. But it would be better than every year having team #3 whine for eight months that they should have been picked for the top bowl instead of whoever else got in.

errr….ummmm….guys?
You ARE aware that the only division of college football that does NOT have a playoff system is 1A, right? 1AA, 2, and 3 all have playoffs, and they work just fine.
There wouldn’t be three FEWER games, there would be three MORE games. Or 4 more games. Whatever. Div 1AA, Div 2, and Div 3 players seem to manage getting through a 12 game season and 4 game playoff system, just fine.
Just because the Obamunist is for it, doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. A stopped clock is right twice a day.
True, HDD, but if the Obumblebrain is going to twist arms on something he has absolutely zero constitutional authority to touch (not like we expected that to stop him, of course, but that doesn’t mean it’s right) then even if it was a great idea it would still be wrong.
As for “less games”, yes under his idea there would be for most of the teams out there (those not in the playoffs).
As for the rest, I said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t truly give a crap about college FB… so I have plenty of excuses to not know about anything more than BCS rankings and that there are several divisions in 1A. And that I only know because the ESPN people won’t quit blathering on about it. I was bored so I wasted some time sharing the memories of another time-wasting exercise.

The President DOES have quite a bit of influence over the NCAA, since the NCAA is a government entity, formed by the President, at the request of the President, to control college football.
As to liking or disliking college football…that’s a personal preference. But, it is a bit…goofy…to form an opinion on a topic one has no opinion on. I loathe golf, which means I had no opinion on whether or not the PGA had to allow a disabled golfer to ride in a cart. Heck, I *still* don’t care. If you ain’t got a dog in the fight, you don’t really get a say in how the fight is fought.
Probably not, but there is  a line on it somewhere, just as there was for TCU-SFA.  I just don’t know where it is, that’s all.
