besides...how many tough games would a team schedule if a playoff was instituted? think about it-right now, you have to play some tough teams, or your strength of schedule (or lack thereof) keeps you too far down in the polls to compete for the top spot. so everyone limits it to a few, while playing some tougher non conference opponents. as people say, it's a playoff every week, as most cannot afford to lose even one game-look at usc for instance....or boise st for example, who is undefeated, but is faced with not having a tough enough schedule to get a top bowl bid-and rightfully so-they'd most likely be exposed liked hawaii was.
so, let's say you have a playoff system, and the winner of each conference gets a spot-so, they play say four conference games a year. who do you think they'd face in the other games? tough, non conference opponents? hell no. they'd play every cream puff they could, to pad their stats, and to take it easy in between conference must-wins.
basically what everyone wants is a league like what you've already got-the nfl. but it's not the nfl, it's college.
now, go back through the threads, and tell me how many are about college football-how many discussions about who's the best? what is one of the things that keeps everyone's interest piqued? the current system. the money is there now, the level of interest is unequalled. if it aint broke, the ncaa won't be fixing it.
