Troy Calhoun Calls CFP "un-American"

Air Force coach Troy Calhoun did not hide his true feelings about the four-team College Football Playoff on Thursday, calling it "un-American," according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Calhoun, who served his country from 1989 to '95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force, feels the new playoff system should be increased from four to at least eight teams. The outgoing chair of the college football rules committee feels it would be even better if 16 schools were given a chance to win the national title.

"There's no doubt that it's all set up for five conferences, as it is," Calhoun said, according to the newspaper. "You've got to be in one of those five conferences.

"It's un-American, bottom line. We live in a country where upward mobility is possible, where games should be played out on the field."

I don't know if I'd call it un-American, it's a joke, that's for sure.
