One of the unfortunate consequences of the playoff for....

...national championship.

Your team, in August, is considered a possible winner of the national championship. If your team doesn't win the national championship, the team was a failure.

It was bad before the playoffs, but it has gotten worse. Before the playoffs your team could win your conference championship, win their bowl game, and if they didn't win the national championship you could blame the voters, but not necessarily your team.

Now, it seems that if you are a fan of a top 10-15 team in the preseason, there is no such thing as a "good season" or even a successful season. Now, it seems there is only one successful team in the country. Any team that didn't win the national championship is labeled a failure by many of their fans.

Note: This phenomenon is not limited to fans of 1 or two schools. Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan fans all have that attitude. aTm fans had that attitude in August. LSU fans will have it next August. FSU fans had it for 15-20 years in a row.

I don't know how you can fix it. A 12 team playoff won't do it. It will probably make it worse.

Clemson could go 12-2, win the ACC and beat Bama in the Orange Bowl and the season will be a failure. So thinketh many fans.
