Playoff hopes - annoying IMHO

And this is all ESPN, etc generated. Fake news I guess.

All they want to talk about in Week 5 if the f-ing playoff and who might make it. F-that. Teams have many things to play for right now. Winning records. Bowl games. Winning their division. Winning their conference.

This playoff BS can wait until Week 9 or 10. Another example of how the fixation with being #1, and the stupid playoff system, has screwed up college football. Going to the Rose Bowl used to be the only (big) goal of every Pac 8, 10,12 team. National Title? Well sure but let's talk about that after the Rose Bowl.

It's not just CFB, it's every sport...power rankings everywhere.

Get used to it, it's the norm. Doesn't mean you have to be disappointed if we lose a couple of games and ONLY get to the Cotton Bowl or something. Enjoy the ride, it's cool to Be in the conversation.

Leach's not having any part of players thinking about playoffs when the season isn't even half over with.

Well no S$! Sherlock! That's not what the OP was referring to though, just media talking about it in general. What fans/media are talking about and what players/coaches are talking about are two completely different things. All players should be thinking about is Oregon.
