Andy Baggot: Playoff is better, but not easier

I can?t tell if Barry Alvarez really wants the assignment or if the University of Wisconsin athletic director is just sandbagging. When I asked him recently if he?d accept an invitation to be part of the selection committee that will determine the participants in the four-team football playoff that will debut in 2014, his answer sounded as if he was pleading the fifth. “I certainly would consider it,” Alvarez said. I thought he?d jump at it.
