All you guys wishing for a playoff in NCAA football should be very careful what you wish for. It would change the complexion of the regular college football season altogether. As of now EVERY game is a must win game. If you go to a playoff, those "Big" games in the middle of Oct. become a little less meaningful. College football has one of the most exciting "regular seasons" as it is right now. Bringing in a playoff system will change that.


Playoff system will be better than the B.S. BCS!

I turned the game on last night rooting against Boise State and found myself rooting for them by the end.  Why is that?  Because that team plays their heart out every single time it takes the field.  If they go undefeated they deserve to play in the Championship Game.

Would you take a 12-0 Boise State team over a 11-1 Alabama, 11-1 ohio state, 11-1 Florida?

Is Ohio State's one loss to Purdue?

And a end-of-season tournament to determine the champion is what is best.

According to the Presidents and Athletic Directors of almost every school in NCAA Div. 1 football, a playoff isn't in the best interest of the schools.  It doesn't really matter that we, the fans, want one.  Unless the leadership of the universities signs off on it, it will never happen, unless, like I said, its federally mandated.

and they might cover the spread but they'd most likely come in second in a 'championship' game

   Alabama and ohio state maybe. Florida no. Why? Because Florida year in and year out will play as many small time programs as they can and run the score up.   This doesn't only happen with Florida. Alot of the higher tier teams do this.  I'll use my Alma Mater as an example.  WVU starts out with Coastal Carolina.....they couldn't find anyone better?  And they only win 31-0.  The third string should be able to beat CCU by 31.  Is that a quality win? I would drop them in the rankings just for playing a team like that and not winning by 70.
   The analysts don't help either.  You have Lee Corso ankle-humping his favorites year round.  If Corso picked lets say Purdue to win the title before the season started, and they went 1-2 the first 3 games he would still be calling them a contender.
   A playoff won't happen either. There is too much money at stake in the major bowl games.

You mean there are to much money that is handed out to people who wants to dictate the system and get rich off it.

Look Boise fanbois until they play in a BCS conference and have to prepare for quality opponents week in and week out then and only then will they be accepted in my book. Just because you play 9 P***** teams in a season does not a championship team make. Hell I could have a decent Div 1A team prepared if I had between 1 month and 9 months to prepare for them. Oh and the Beavers....they aren't a quality team either. I seriously doubt they are still in the Top 25 after getting beaten by TCU who SHOULDN'T be up there either.

Guys, correct me if i am wrong, didn't that coach try to schedule games against BSC teams (UCS, Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma to name a few) but they all declined to play them. 
Exactly . Why risk it .

Might try taking a look at the 2006 season as well . Look at records of teams they played . The days of year in year out powerhouses is gone . The days of year in year out losers is gone too .

Time to break up the Old Boys club.

What I would like to see is the top 13 teams in the east and the top 13 teams in the west have their own division. Call it the Premier Conference. The top team in the east and the west would play for the championship.

At the end of the season, the bottom 3 teams in each division would be dropped from the Premier Conference and the top 3 from the next level down would be brought up.
