Why can college football have a playoff and still have the bowls every year?
Just let the bowls be the rounds of the playoffs. — John Nix, Perry, Fla. CORSO — It could happen, but it won’t happen. One of the reasons is that university presidents don’t want to see a playoff system because it’s associated with pro football. Also, if I were ABC I wouldn’t want a playoff to come in — the network has spent millions of dollars to televise the winner-take-all BCS title game. Personally, I like the BCS system better than a playoff format. The BCS should stay, with maybe a minor tweak of the formula as time goes on. Q: After Nebraska’s win over the Sooners, did you ride the mechanical bull like you said you would? — Tyler Grassmeyer, Lincoln, Neb. CORSO — Yes, I did. About 200 people went with me, mostly students, and some people took some photos. They put a red wig on me, and that bull shook me around so hard the wig came off. Some guys were spotting me, but I didn’t come close to falling off! Sure, I rode that bull, because I gave that kid my word.
