It's August 1. There are now three weeks until the first actual competitive college football games which count.
Man, first there was Dan Mullen with his cockamamie eligibility ideas, and how we've got Mike Leach trying to put half of FBS into the playoffs.
The largest problem with Leach's proposal is, of course, the extent to which it waters down the field. Even I, in fairness, have argued that as a philosophical point I don't care if the FBS playoff is 128 teams. But that's just as a philosophical point, not as a basis for reality.
