College football is portrayed as a title-or-bust sport But joy can and should be found in a season like Ohio State just had, says Rosenberg_Mike
if the Buckeyes had won. But for three hours, OSU gave its fans the kind of great, tension-filled show that is supposed to draw us to sports in the first place. Doesn’t that count for something? Can’t we just say “Wow, what a game,” without using the scoreboard to indict the loser?
Ohio State is now dealing with a Michigan peak. Of course the Buckeyes still expect to win that game, and they should. But the rest of us, especially in the media, should be level-headed enough to acknowledge that beating a great Michigan team is a lot harder than beating the mediocre-to-very good ones Meyer faced.
A few years ago, after North Carolina beat Duke in their annual end-of-regular-season game, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski said: “Carolina is better than we are. That doesn’t mean we can’t win.” It was a completely rational comment that Day could never get away with making, because every college football season ticket these days comes with a pitchfork.
The College Football Playoff has convinced a disturbing number of fan bases that there is only one prize worth winning. Otherwise, the season was a failure. It’s a grossly skewed way to live. What other sport is like this? When was the last time you heard speculation about a college basketball coach’s job after their team made the Final Four?
