If you need a reference for this look up the past champions in basketball. The majority of years it is a major conference school cutting down the nets.
But at least a bunch of teams had the actually opportunity to win a title.

It is why I haven't watched a single college football game at all this year, it is retarded, but I guarantee you that if they were to go to a playoff, I would watch intently.

You would have to shorten the season to 10 games + conference championship and then an elite eight. And at that point you would still have people b.itch and moan.

I ain't scurrd . I realize that everyone outside of the SEC is screaming for a playoff system. It probably won't change the outcome.

yep, because regardless of how they end the season, teams would get left out. the longer the playoff season lasts, the shorter the regular season would have to be.
this subject took longer than usual to show up, i'm surprised.

It could be done if they really wanted to. Narrow the BCS down to 6 teams and have a playoff. 2 vs 4 in the Rose, 3 vs 6 in the Sugar with 1 and 2 getting byes. Then 1 vs the higer seed in the Sugar and 2 vs the lower in the Orange. Obviously the venues/bowls could change every year. Then you have your national tittle game. Sure it's not perfect and there will always be teams bitching and moaning, but it better than the system they have now. Plus I really don't think you would have to change the regualr season schedules so much (I'm not sure what the rules are reguarding the amount of games teams play and what dates they are not allowed play om.)

Not having a playoff is retarded. It isnt about who ultimately wins, it is about deciding it on the field. Every Division 1 team starts out the season with a chance under a playoff. Despite very few schools actually having a realistic chance, if you go to Cincy and go undefeated you still dont have the opportunity to play for a national championship. That simply is not acceptable to most fans. TCU is better than Cincy, IMO. If Texas had lost TCU still would have been screwed. The entire process of allowing outsiders to make your matchups is mind boggling enough. Imagine if the sites in colege basketball got to choose who was going to play there? That is how you wind up with the I dont care bowl's (this years Sugar, Orange and Rose)
Not to mention, how many fans your team will bring still being a factor (ie. Iowa)? Why not have Notre Dame play then?
