[NU Sports] For those who need a break from dumb Big Ten ideas ...

[Arthur Miller]

You know, that WAS fun...because it illustrated all the reasons why I hate the 
idea of a playoff.

The first time I ran the simulation, Virginia Tech--a team that lost 
to I-AA James Madison--made it all the way to the championship game. blech.

The second time, Stanford (a team that couldn't win it's own conference title) 
won the National Championship.  double blech.

The third time (and I swear, I'm not making this up) the #2 through #6 
seeds--Oregon, TCU, Stanford, Wisconsin, & Ohio State--all lost in the first 
round, and the #15 seed Nevada made it to the championship game.  At that point, 
I about tossed my breakfast all over my laptop and felt it was time to quit.

So, you know...playoffs aren't a guarantee of spectacular drama.  Sometimes, 
they just suck.
