Urban Meyer has a flock of friends in the football coaching realm, but recently he turned to those who coach another sport to answer a question about the College Football Playoff.
"The College Football Playoff has taken on a life of its own, it's March Madness basically," Meyer said a week ago on the Fiesta Bowl teleconference. "Great friends of mine are basketball coaches, they always talk about the intensity of March Madness. March Madness for us starts in August. That's the way it is."
In many ways, Meyer is correct. With it being the second season of the Playoff era in college football, the game is changing now from where it stood with the BCS system in place.
