don't you think if it was a given that the money would be better in a playoff system that the ncaa and the schools would be using that kind of system?! if it's about the money, than obviously the move would be to what generates the most cash--which is exactly why there is no playoff system.
the basketball finals are mentioned as an example of a true championship format.
but the ncaa basketball tourny includes half the schools in 1-a. that's a huge reason for it's existence, and due to the nature of that sport, it's workable-unlike football. a football playoff would exclude a huge number of schools who currently get a bowl berth.
i'd love to see a playoff-but the 32 team nfl doesn't come close to the 120-odd FBS teams.
