Okay, We Want The 8 Team Playoff NOW

I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees on it now.

Okay, We Want The 8 Team Playoff NOW

I'm gonna say what I said I'd never say.

College football needs the 8 team playoff.

Every power 5 conference champion is in. One Group of 5 team is in. Two wild cards are in.

This year, that means that Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, Ohio State, UCF, Alabama, and Wisconsin would have been in. What a playoff, right?

While SEC vs. SEC in the 'ship is perfectly fine with me, I wish teams like undefeated UCF could have a chance. They beat Auburn, the only team to beat both of the title contenders this year. They deserve a shot to prove themselves. There wouldn't have been a controversy over who should have been in at 4, everyone in the debate would have gotten a chance.

Why do we play the cupcake games, anyway? Cut those two or three weeks out of the schedule. With a longer post-season, there would be much more revenue. No one watches Mercer at Alabama, anyway. But everyone would watch Alabama vs. Wisconsin.

If you're worried about spreading the wealth from FBS to FCS, we'll play those games in the spring, as part of a "preseason"/spring training stint. That means that more people would watch (because there isn't any other football on), players wouldn't worry so much about a minor injury, and the regular season would be much more interesting.

After the LSU vs. Alabama rematch in the natty, we created the playoff system. Now, with two SEC teams ending up in the title game AGAIN, don't be surprised if there is a major change soon.

Stop acting stupid, CFB Committee, lets expand this thing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
