A playoff for college football? Really?


Yep, college football now has a playoff to determine the champion. In fact, every level of college football has a playoff EXCEPT the FBS or football bowl subdivision. All those poor student athletes in NAIA, D2 and the FCS, somehow manage to remain good students AND play a few more games into December.

Georgia Southern was not a lock to get into the FCS playoffs, with some struggles this season, but they did get in and now are taking full advantage of the opportunity. Wins against South Carolina State, William and Mary and now Wofford, have the Eagles in the semi finals! They will play this Saturday against Deleware - Noon on ESPNU. I'm looking forward to it!

Way to go coach NATE! I know brother in law John is enjoying the Eagles playoff run, and calls from the press box!


Some great prep playoff action this weekend. Up in Georgia, Starrs MIll lost to Chattahoochee, but had a great season. In Florida, Cocoa pulled off the 3 peat without Chevelle Buie, beating Glades Central 14-13. Ocala Trinity Catholic beat University School 56-55 stopping a 2 point conversion in the 3rd OT. I'm looking forward to the 6A final this Saturday night, Dr Phillips vs Miami Central :)
