Wont work.
All the diff. Bowl's would have to vie for the playoff games.
You have to deal with the Bowl committee's and the University
Presidents and AD's. This is a cash cow as it stands right now.
The bowl games have made huge amounts of money this year.
Then you have the problem of a "home game" being given to a lower seed.
The Rose Bowl will not go away. Which of the playoff games do you give the Rose Bowl? Tis a mess. Heck its not just the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, they all want their piece. And they got their piece right now. I dont know how one would divy up the playoff games thru these entities (this includes the NCAA) that control everything. There is no single TV network that can come in and say hey you guys lets straighten this thing out with a playoff system and we can all make more money.
If say... NBC tried this, the Bowl would just go to a diff TV network and say NBC no longer is in the running for the money our Bowl will generate, the bidding is now between... it is a real mess.
