(STATS) – There may be a day when the FBS level switches from staging a “playoff” to “playoffs.”
Yeah, maybe it’s 68 years away, Indians fans, or 108 years, good ‘ol Cubbies.
When only four teams are involved, the name “College Football Playoff” seems appropriate.
Meanwhile, the FCS level can beat its chest over its 24-team playoffs. Add the “s” for sizzling.
Selection Sunday is fast approaching – Nov. 20.
