We're No. 1?

Once again, we end the collegiate football season without a clear decision of which is the nation's No. 1 team.

Get used to it. Without a playoff, there will not be many clear-cut champions.

Oklahoma, which lost to Florida 24-14 Thursday night, is the only one of the top five teams that cannot offer an argument that it should be No. 1.

Utah was undefeated. Southern Cal had only an early season loss to Oregon State. Texas defeated Oklahoma.

I must join the crowd in calling for a playoff. Take 16 teams (there will be arguments over who is included, but they will be the lower teams) and do away with the six-week break between the end of season and the championship game. Use the bowl games in the playoffs, even if some must change their traditional dates. Shuffle around which bowls get which games.

It can be done. It should be done. Division One football deserves it.
