Last, yea the BCS is flawed, however playoffs run into exam schedules not just for the athletes but for the entire school...I am huge football fan, don't get me wrong, however I am also a college administrator, and catch me if I'm wrong, but students need to pass exams in order to graduate...Not only that, but schools need high GPA's to keep up it's reputation...You think ALL students go to school for football? Think again...it's all just publicity...
And by the way: C-A-N-E-S, GO CANES!!!
If Division I-AA football can have a playoff then there's no reason why I-A can't either. It's strictly a money issue. There's too much money tied up in the bowl games for the universities and television to want to change to what makes sense. To allow a mathmatical system to determine who the best two teams are in the country is bogus. How often does the perceived top team actually win the title? Not too often. Texas barely beat Ohio State and USC barely beat Notre Dame. A playoff in I-A football would showcase some of the best games and I really don't see why each round of the playoffs couldn't use or keep that particular bowl game.
To me it's simple. It's money and politicis that's keeping I-A from having a playoff. Division I-AA has a 16 team playoff that spans four weeks. There's simply zero reason other than money and politics keeping I-A from doing the same.
