I hate to open this can of worms again. But, every year when I watch March Maddness it just reminds me how great it would be to have a playoff system. Just take the BCS games (8 teams ) and make a play off out of it. Case closed.

Well every year I don't give 2 shits about basketball until the 3 weeks of March Madness bc every good team makes the playoffs so the regular season really doesnt matter.

What about the 9th ranked team? and 10th ranked team? What if the SEC dominates the polls and has 3 teams in the top 8, what if there are 4 teams with the same record in the 7-10 rankings?

College Football playoffs WONT work. Only thing you can do is install a situational +1, where if its necessary have a play-in game if there are, or 4 teams with the same final record.

You do realize that basketball and football are 2 completely different sports, right?

There aren't 8 teams in college football each year that deserve to play for the title

Also, with the SECCG we basically have a national semifinal right now, which is awesome

I'd prefer a 4 team playoff over anything else (would keep every game important and allow for an awesome post-season), but if you did that, there would be a call for 8 teams, then 16 ect, so the current system is fine

We do have a play-off system winner of the SEC championship plays for the BCS National Championship, then they win and everyone is happy.

1. A playoff that isn't only based off of conferen e champions makes the regular season pointless.

2. The fact there are 3 times as many games in basketball and baseball makes a playoff ok. This allows you to see more compettion in respect to the number of actual teams.

Why not have a 16 team playoff like division 1-AA?
