Playoff PAC's blog features only thoughtful, quality work that helps advance the public dialogue on college football reform. We cover current events, spotlight pro-reform articles around the Internet, and provide original content about the BCS's failures and the path to reform.  We typically post new blog pieces twice each week during college football's regular season.
