The OS Daily Ten - A Perfect End to the Imperfect BCS Stuck
Posted on January 7, 2014 at 12:23 PM.

It wasn't quite Vince-Young-over-USC good, but last night's finish that saw Florida State steal a national championship from Auburn and the SEC -- in one word, 'Wow!'

College football isn't like its professional sibling in regard to parity as much as we like to think it is. So when two evenly-matched teams square off and the game comes down to the final minute -- that's what championship moments are meant to be.

Today also marks the first day of the post-BCS era and with it some unintended positives. Sure, we get our computers exchanged for a playoff format. But one thing that stands out in my mind which may go unnoticed by many is the boost in quality of play we'll get in the title game. No more four-week layoffs from conference championship week to bowl week for the nation's elite. The semifinals will be the time to work out the jitters with a quick turnaround allowing for a regular season type of preparation -- the routine teams and players are used to.

What aspects of a college football playoff are you most excited about?

I am most excited about seeing more teams with an opportunity to make it to the big dance. I think it will also legitimize the championship a little more.

not to detract from a good article...but the word is "parity" not "parody"
