Big 12 should consider a different approach for the College Football Playoff, eschewing the style adopted by CU in their coverage featuring Deion Sanders.

Spitting Truth to Klatt:

Nope, Joel Klatt, we're gonna rip your playoff plan apart!

If CU had listened to ol' Klatt and expanded the College Football Playoff according to his suggestion, Bronco Mendenhall would be sittin' pretty with those Buffaloes right now.

Yawn city. Low risk, high floor, safe…zzzzz. Boring, but safe.

But what did the Buffs do instead? Well, they decided to roll the dice, baby!

CU, these football graveyard dwellers, took a gamble on themselves, betting that they could turn their fortunes around under the leadership of George. A risky move, sure, but hey—that's the American way!
