However I think the current bowl system has contributed to teams choosing to water down their schedule.
No one really wants to see LSU plow through the bottom of the barrel all season. However teams feel the need to limit the amount of games they could possibly lose. This is because the current system is more favorable to power conference teams with the cleanest records.
you speak as if LSU controls its conference schedule. the only scheduling LSU controls at all is the OOC games, and we haven't really backed down from scheduling real schools ... we've usually one formidable OOC opponent and reduced them to shite.
Remember when "Strength of Schedule" was part of the BCSCG formula?...Someone, anyone?

That is more of my point. Power conference teams don't need this anymore.
I get that all anyone cares about is a crystal football at the end of the year. However, you keep hearing about how a playoff system takes away meaning from the regular season.
I would argue that a playoff system allows teams to make riskier schedules during the season. If you didn't win your conference then you better have beaten someone good to have a shot at an at large pick.
It also means a fluke loss isn't a national title dream killer.
