re: For or Opossed to BCS playoff?

I am against any playoff. While a playoff will financially benefit teams like LSU, USC and Alabama, it won't really be good for college football. What a playoff would mean is that the playoff round bowl games will matter most, and the participants will play in up to three major bowls in a single year. While that would net the top teams at least double what they get in a BCS game right now, it would block out other teams and reduce the marketability of the middle and lower bowls.

Bowl games give programs a quick pile of cash and some extended practice time at the end of the year. Think of the benefit LSU has gotten from second tier bowls like Capital One or the Cotton Bowl. These bowls should not be gutted to concentrate the money at the top.

Bowl money should be spread around to help fund improvements and help teams get better. A playoff only benefits the small handful of very top tier teams, while making things harder on the second tier. Money-wise, this will be bad for college football.
