re: BCS has achieved consensus on 4-team seeded playoff.

this whole thing is bullshite. I do like your 8 team scenario. That would leave less room for controversy. top 4 is crap, What about #5? I cant stand Boise St but what happens if they are at the #5 spot undefeated? they have a reason to cry. Thy are basing this off of last year and the way it played out. The only true way I feel is a 30 or 32 team play off. No mulligans, No coaches politicking on national TV for votes, no team of the century playing 0 ranked opponents and getting in for one game with 6 weeks to prepare. its all left on the field.
