USC, Okalahoma, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Texas Tech, Penn State......etc....>>>>Boise and Utah.

The problem tha i have with the current system is that if these teams like Utah and Boise dont have a chance to win the title then why are they in the same division? make a super division 1 with all the power conferences and have seperate playoffs or whatever. While there is no doubt they would be unlikely to be undefeated in bigger conferences what else can those teams do except win every game? Unlike the NCAA tourney in basketball, football is settled with ridiclous computer polls and opinions, rather than the results on the field. The perfect example is Texas beats OK, Texas Texh beat Texas, Ok beats Texas Tech. Who is better? Why should what you or I or anyone else
thinks matter? A playoff will settle matters. It isnt about who is the "best" team or who would win the most if they played 100 times. It is about winning the game on the field. Naturally there would be some controversy about who gets in and the 9th and 10th teams will cry but there has to be a cut off somewhere. This isnt 1970 anymore where a few teams are vastly superior to everyone else and carry 125 scholarship players. Just about anyone can beat anyone on a given day and to not have a playoff system is unfair to everyone. The reasons given against the system are so ludicrious that I cant believe that they are made with a straight face. The Conferences like the Pac 10 and Big 10 that hold it up should simply be excluded from a system until they drop thier opposition. If the SEC, Big 12, ACC, Big East, Wac, Mountain west, Conference USA and MAC all joined together to have a seperate playoff system the Big 10 and Pac 10 would be screwed and have to join in. I still dont see why the "bowls" have so much power over college football when they arent even part of the NCAA or any of the schools.
