I don't think a playoff system is any better.

I don't want to do anything that might diminish the regular season in any way.

why do people put all this emphasis on the regular season? Literally every other sport (including NFL, DI-AA, DII, DII and HS fball) uses a playoff system that is extremely successful? Does any sport hand out overall regular season champion awards (no not division and conference reg. season titles, I mean can you be crowned nat. champion of the reg. season)? Plus, imagine getting an extra game or two in Death Valley.

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't want any playoff of any sort. I don't even think a +1 is necessary.

When, during the BCS era, has a team that was OBVIOUSLY the best left out?

In the NFL they have a playoff system... does the best team every year always win? Ask the 18-1 Patsies that question.

The playoffs will render the regular season slightly above irrelevant. I don't even watch the NFL during the regular season since it's meaningless... other than for fantasy football. Teams can get to the playoffs that lose half their games. How the hell is that any better?

Regular season big games won't be nearly as meaningful with a playoff.

I pray they don't mess with the current system at all. Changing to a playoff format will only be going from one imperfect system to another. So if you aren't fixing anything, why change just for the sake of change.

You'll still have teams bitching when they are on the bubble for the playoffs and get left out of the playoffs.

I agree. USC,OSU,OSU,Texas, ALA, Fla,Aub,ND would still doniate the polls and teams would go back to wimpy out of conference schedules to be in the top 10. Besides, there are more sports writers and sportscasters from USCand the OSU so gues who would always be #1 & 2.

It wouldn't In fact, you may see better OOC games. Every other team sport in the known universe has a playoff, except FBS football.
