i used to think that as well, that a playoff system could work. but then you look at the number of bowls out there.
guy was on mike and mike, talking about the current system vs a playoff system. i don't think it'll ever change. there is just too much money involved, and it would not be comparable to the lesser schools who go to the lesser bowls to switch systems. yes, the top eight might still end up ok--but there are over 60 teams who go to bowls. title ix was also mentioned as a factor.
for many schools, their football program funds practically all of their other sports at the school. lose the current money making system, then what?

besides, look at how much interest is generated, the debate. still pretty exciting stuff.

after hearing all this talk lately, i'm convinced the current system will not change. i guess the bcs title game is the best they can do regarding settling who is #1. the trick remains getting the top two in that game to play for #1!!

in other words, you may as well snuggle up and get comfy with the bowl system, instead of going nuts waiting for a change that will never come.
