I always hear them say that they can't do a playoff because of the extra games that would create . . . but they have five weeks off before the major bowl games. They could easily fit in one or two rounds of playoffs. One extra round = four teams. Two extra rounds = eight teams. Either way, there would be a lot less griping about #5 or #9 not getting a chance. And it would be short enough to easily fit in the allotted time.
Of course that's a load of bull. How many teams played 14 games this year? I know the University of Delaware and Appalachian State University both played 15 games.Originally Posted by terminator
The article reveals why these college presidents are totally opposed to a playoff system, other then their resistance to change and holding on to their traditions......
BCS bowl games are big business, as the champions of BCS conferences generate up to $17 millions for their respective conferences. Money is a major issue on why it is tough to switch to a playoff system.

What would be so tough for the top four teams to have a playoff
1 vs 4
2 vs 3
Winners play for the championship.
Makes too much sense...
An 8 game playoff could work, too....there's enough big Bowl Games to make it work...those are now your playoff games...
I already showed you (see above).
It has nothing to do about making sense.

They could do an 8 game playoff without messing with the Bowls in their current format. You have 8 teams and 4 major bowls. Use the playoff tournament as a way of seeding the bowls so that you get a real #1 v. #2 matchup. Seed each playoff team #1-#8 based on ranking, BCS computer score, whatever, and set up the playoff bracket. Games are played at the home of the higher seeded team. Round 1 losers play a consolation game to determine who goes to the #3 and #4 bowls, Round 1 winners play at the home of the higher seeded team. Semifinal losers go to the #2 Bowl, Semifinal winners go whichever Bowl gets the National Championship that year. All other bowls outside of #1-#4 seek out teams as they currently do.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Just as long as we don't have these kids play too many games. They need to get their studying time in, I am sure.

Yeah - they need to really cram for those Phys Ed and Aids Awareness finals. They're murder!
