Should there be a playoff system to determine the national champion?

I don't know how to do polls on here and don't even know if I could. But how many of you are in favor of a playoff system? I think the situation this season screams for one. :popcorn:

Play-off between only conference champions. There's 12 conferences. Shouldn't be to hard to come up with a system. Of course this will never happen, because the universities are too greedy and want all that bowl money and to hell with the fans.

I think 90% of the fans want a playoff system but the holdup is the NCAA administration and universities.

I liked the playoff system they were discussing on college gameday yesterday.

Still lame... Alabama with 1 loss to lsu would still not get a chance to play in the play off and yet a 2 loss
Team in conference USA would get a chance?

Would never happen cause in 2+ years there wont be 12 conferences.

I'm not for one. A 4 game mini one...maybe. That would be max for me.

The logistics of it could be a nightmare for teams and players health. But frankly if there are to many playoff games and a main player gets hurt in the first round, etc then it would always be a "if he didn't get hurt then..." kind of deal. So we really haven't changed the "what if, etc" problem.

It's like how TX fans whine about how McCoy got hurt early and they could have beaten Bama...yada yada. Yet they forget that the same argument could be used against them cause OUs Bradford was hurt going into the TX game, and he tried to play and got hurt and taken out of that game. So would TX even be in the NCG if Bradford weren't hurt??? TX barely won that game by a fg iirc.

Imho no system will ever satisfy the masses...

1) Every conference should have 2 divisions, and a title game = 1st round of playoff. This means independents have to join a conference or get left out.
2) Keep the bowl system intact, only have 6 bowls set aside for the conference championship winners. Non conference winners play in the rest of the bowls.
3) Don't put out a BCS until after the bowls are played, and whoever is #1 & #2 play in a +1 National Championship Game.

This is the closest way to making everyone happy that I can think of, but it still has problems.

It's not a true playoff in the truest sense of the word playoff.

Notre Dame is bigger than the rest of college football, and will never join the Big East in football like they should. Same for BYU and the rest.

BUT, we could keep the bowl system (tradition and $), keep the BCS (makes every game every week important) and have an almost playoff.

Without a real playoff that scraps the bowl system, and implements more games than school administration will allow, this is as good as it could get, IMO.

But, just like politics, nobody asks me what I think we should do.

Have a top 4 teams and play. One plays four. Two plays three. Then the two winners play for the championship. These teams are off 5 weeks before they play. Have all the games on a netural site. Man you amount of coverage you would get from TV and stuff.

Not sure if I'm the only to notice this, but it's funny how ESPN a few yrs back couldn't get off the playoff bandwagon. Now they barely talk about it. It couldn't be the fact that they got the BCS games back...could it??? :whistling:

No and the answer will always be no. Otherwise the schools wouldn't get all of the much-needed practice time and money, but mostly because I wouldn't have "Bowl Week" to look forward to.

The BCS is a better system than what a lot of people think....especially the ones in Idaho.

No automatic qualifiers, just the top 16 in the BCS, regardless if they won their conference or not.

I think it could vary year by year as to how many teams a playoff would need. I'd say you could solidly cap it at 4 this year, but in other years it's necessary to have 8 or more.

The problem is that people evaluate the BCS based on what they wish it was vs. the huge improvement that it actually is over the previous system.

That would seem to be the simple solution. Leave the bowl system intact and take the top 4 and put them in a simple two round playoff. Round 1 would take place in two of the BCS bowls and then a week later the winners meet in the BCS Championship Game. No need to make it anymore complicated than that.
