This is a far cry from a Dec. 13th quote from Dr. Gee stating “They’ll have to wrench a playoff system from my cold, dead hands.”

A plus-one system is not in the interests of College Football (would it have been LSU versus Georgia or USC versus LSU). Is it fair to ask student-athletes to play another game? The bowl experience is far more than just a playoff game. It allows more fans to visit the hosting city and feel like they are a part of the experience.

We here at OHD say bah to a plus-one format. In fact, I would make the argument for a return to the old bowl system (The BCS is the farthest University Presidents should be willing to go)
