The theory of December madness?

Both Yahoo News and the Post ran articles recently on the idea of having a single college football playoff game, and I have to say, the more I read and think about it, the more I'm in favor of such a game.

I so easily lose track of all the different divisions in college football—mostly because I don't pay attention to them, what with Penn State playing in the (so-called) Big Ten. But if Penn State were to have an undefeated season and end up #1, I'd want that #1 to be across the boards, not just the Big Ten. Theoretically, you could have college football do a March madness-like playoff season, with each division's #1 competing against each other and whittling it down to an overall #1. You could call it December madness!
