Bowl Playoff System: Week 6

After another heart-breaker for the Wahoos, the only game left in our season is at Tech. Maybe the fellas can muster up an inspirational performance for the seniors, who have yet to beat Tech. In the national picture, there was not much change this week. The top 3 teams all had byes, and only Nebraska lost in the top ten. With that said, we are already in late November, and we have determined little when it comes to the best team in the land. Our little playoff experiment would give many very deserving teams a chance to prove themselves. Enjoy!
