Yeah, I'd like to see a more certain number one, but not at any cost.
Besides, we'd still have arguments over who did and did not make the play offs and if the champ of a weaker conference is more worthy of entry into the play offs than the second place team in a stronger conference.

You're assuming that they will not find any time to study and the guys on the teams that spend all there time on football or basketball or working out for them are the guys who can make it to the nfl and they are on those 8-16 teams that are elite and anyway it is up to the athletes themselves how much they study or attend class regardless of football or any sport the practices wont take up more than 3 - 4 hours and they might study film for an hour or so. Depending on which classes they are taking and when they are they probably have plenty of time to get their education. Also dont forget about 1/5 of them are red-shirted in their freshman year and have already graduated.
