| BCS v Playoff
The NCAA tournament this year reminds me of why the BCS system is still used to crown a National Champ. |

| The BCS is still inferior.

| An 8,9, or 10 team playoff would be unbelievable. Anything larger than that would take away from the regular season which is what makes college football so good. | |

I think the intriguing thing to me would be the possibilities of matchups in the 1st round. I am also in favor of the first round games being held at home sites, not neutral. If the tournament games weren't held at home sites then I would be against an 8 + team playoff. | |

Give us a Football Final Four. Put it on a t-shirt.
