Interesting article.

5 ESPN.com analysts list the top 3 things they would change about college football.
Some of the ones I really agree with:
2 had a playoff system on their list and 2 others had "half playoff" type suggestions for the BCS. THat's 4 out of 5 who are still disatisfied with the BCS. GOOD!
2 had more scholarships on their list.
2 called for less bowl games.
Bill Curry is absolutely worthless. His three were basically:
1) Coddle shitty, under performing coaches just because their record is decent.
2) Rethink overtime (idiotic. College football overtime is the best overtime in ANY sport).
3) Some change to the neutral zone rule which is so incredibly minor that it is absurd to have it on your top three.
The two people I agreed with the most were Jim Donnan and Mel Kiper, Jr. I don't agree with Mel's "run the clock" idea to make the clock run like in the NFL. I always liked that college was different in this respect, and I also liked how this makes fitness and heart more important in the 4th quarter.
My top three:
1) PLAYOFF SYSTEM. Death to the BCS.
2) Fewer Bowl Games.
3) Instant replay. 8 cameras per field. A team of 3 officials "in the booth" not affiliated with the group of officials on the field who can review any play they think is questionable.
