As the final seconds ticked off the clock inside Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium last night, the first full rotation of the College Football Playoff has come and gone. Each of the six bowl games in the system – Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Peach and Fiesta – have now hosted a semifinal game featuring one of the top four teams each of the last three years.
Before the system even started, people who harped for the playoff to exist started getting greedy by saying the four team field wasn’t enough. These are the people who don’t understand that major college football was built on bowl games and think it’s “so easy” to have a field the likes of the 68 team basketball field.
