Little teams get their chance all the time to upset a big school. Take Michigan's loss last week to an unranked team or on the other side of the fence Central Michigan University taking a stomping from Kansas. Let's face it, big schools have better programs. Why? THey got all that money to entice the best to come play for them. It's not a horrible system once you get to understand it. Does it have it's faults? Sure it does, some teams do get by with name only for a season or so, but in the end it's what we got and have had for a long time and I see it's existence for a long time to come.

Another problem is that you really can't play 2 games in 3 days like during March Maddness.

They only answer would be to have one Super Division of all the top schools, but this would erase many of the old rivalries that still make college football so popular. Plus the season is only 10 sometimes 11 games.
