Here at SEO Columbus, we are huge college football fans. Sometimes, building a site about something that you truly enjoy doesn’t feel like work at all, which is how our college football playoffs site, BCSFootballPlayoffs.com, came into existence.
Much like our incoming President, I would love to see a college football playoff system in place. But coming from a Mid American Conference school, Miami University, I wouldn’t stop at the 8 teams that Barack Obama and many propose. I think if you are going to do it, do it right. Invite every conference winner and 5 at large teams, 16 teams total. Have the 1st two rounds at the home stadium of the higher seed, and the semi-finals and championship rounds at the current BCS bowl games. I have defined a system that really has no faults that I or anyone that has reviewed it have found. Existing bowls remain intact, the regular season is still incredibly valuable and there is even more weight on winning your conference. Most importantly, the Ball State, Boise State and Utah’s of the world get to see just how good their team really is. After all, there is no way to know without seeing them play.
Anyway, we’ve just updated this site with the current playoff brackets (as of today) if this system were really in place. There would be some unbelievable matchups playing out on the field, games that football fans everywhere are missing out on because there is no playoff system in place. If you are a football fan, I encourage you to check out the site, and see the proposed college football playoff system in full detail on our site. And let us know your thoughts, good and bad.
One funny thing about this site is that it has gotten very little to no love on Google since last year’s football season. And to be honest, we hadn’t updated it once since last season (until last week). Yet just last week the site ranked in the top 5 on Yahoo for the phrase “College Football Playoffs”. I liked that keyword phrase, so I thought it was time to get working on updating the site. We’ve since added blog functionality, and we hope to do more and more to get the content there throughout the bowl and playoff season. I’d like to see this site get to ranking well on Google for that same phrase, and start bringing in significant, albeit seasonal, web traffic. Becuase the more people that see what *could* be in place in college football, the more likely we may get enough of an uproar to affect the prestigious *ahem* corrupt *ahem* powers that make these decisions.
