Florida State goes down for a second year in a row!
Let me take a moment to state my opinion that expecting a team of college kids to defeat every other group of college kids they meet is ridiculous. College football is the only sport that predicates ultimate victory on perfection. College football needs three things:

1. A playoff system.
   
2. Fewer teams.
   
3. Better compensation for players.
   

The majority of schools have no business fielding major college football teams. Football is an expensive, brutal sport that crowds out other sports and cause strife on campus. I love football, but football loses money for all but the biggest schools. I don't support football when it's not self-sustaining or near self-sustaining. Title IX is a good thing and women deserve to play sports just as much as men do, that is not the problem. The problem is that most schools cut men's programs to find money for women's programs because football is draining massive sums of money from their programs.
The bowl system in football is a laughable, inequitable, haphazard method of determining a champion. The only sure way for anyone to know who is truly the best is through a playoff system. Shorten the season, use the lower tier bowls to eliminate teams, and move up to another tier of bowls to decide who advances to the next round. Finish everything the week before the Super bowl. It can't be that difficult!
A problem in all major college sports and not just football is that athletes are under-compensated. Granted a college education in exchange for athletic talent is a fair trade, but these students often have basic financial needs that go unmet and coaches and alumni aren't allowed to help. Students are also forced to pay for tings like health insurance out of their own pockets and simultaneously not allowed to work to make money to pay for these things. Based on my personal experience with college athletics, as soon as I knew I could make anything more than $100,000 playing a sport I would leave school. The average starting salary in computer science is $40,000 and for other fields entry level positions often pay just $30,000 a year. Staying in school and taking the abuse simply makes no sense unless you come from a middle class or wealthy home, with parents that will support you should you be injured and need support to finish college. Schools just don't provide enough incentive to remain in school.
