RPI has to go. It sucks!! I will never be in favor of doing away with a week of football. We seem to forget this is about the kids. I’ve said this 1000 times. Real life is coming for them at a fast pace so let them play as many games as they can.

Exactly. More football, not less, makes the sport stronger. I like Indiana's system because it does not penalize teams for playing strong regular season schedules. Their playoffs decide champions and the regular season is used to develop player skills and to prepare them for the playoffs. In the end, what matter most is having a system that produces the best players and teams and shortening the season does not help a state to reach that goal.
