Some of you may recall my prior announcement about running for president on the CFBUA party ticket. In light of where our country finds itself, having failed to take any of my prescribed steps since my announcement, and against the backdrop of the recently announced cancellations of 2 of the 5 P5 conference's fall sports, I choose to look for a bright spot. Here's my thought:
Step 1: All remaining P5 conferences see the light and the benefit to proceeding as set forth herein, and cancel fall sports.
Step 2: We get serious on a national scale about shutting down the virus. Get to a point where we have only a few thousand cases per day across the nation.
Step 3: Revamp schedules of all P5 teams, with 6 conference and 2 nonconference games (must be against another P5) for a total of 8 regular season games.
Step 4: At conclusion of the abbreviated season, top 12 ranked teams (12 due to more limited bodies of work, thereby increasing uncertainty, so gotta open it up a bit) go into a playoff, with teams 1-4 having an open week while teams 5-12 play each other to get 4 survivors, who then face teams 1-4 in the following week, and so on, until the championship in playoff week 4.
No bowl games, just the 12-team, 11 game, 4 week playoff.
Do this with a early January kickoff, and we're done by the end of March. It would be different, but everything about this year is different. There's no normal this year, but this would be a damn good alternative, IMO.
I appreciate your support and approve of this message.
