hey, i'd love to see a change and a playoff system. i just don't think it'll happen, regardless of what the fans want. until the powers that be want it, it will not happen--and i'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the schools to leap at the idea. they have it too good now.
How would it kill those other bowls? You have 6-6 teams playing each other in places like El Paso, Texas. Many, if not most of them are played on weekday nights. It would be similar to the NIT in college basketball. It makes money or it would have faded away.

I think that the playoff system will come up when a Senator from a jilted state starts an inquiry into how a few individuals are monetarily benefitting from public institutions and college kids. When the names are dragged out of the shadows and the secret payments are brought to light, things will change. Jim Delany is as crooked as any politician.
