Coaches and players would rather have these matters decided on the playing field. Presidents and athletic directors are more interested in how much money they can get their grubby little hands on. Meanwhile, the paying customer has no voice. We have to take what we're given, even though it does not satisfy our ultimate need to have things nicely and neatly wrapped up at the end of a season. And don't give me the argument about how the current system at least gives us something to debate every year about this time.
Debates are fine for high school forensics teams.
I have been known to engage in a debate or two in my life. And, like anyone else, I enjoy discussing which team is best. But when it's over, I want resolution. This system is not guaranteed to give that, and this year it is looking like there will be only confusion and angst when everything settles. I realize I have strayed from the subject of Kansas State- Oklahoma.
