The BCS was designed to create the 2 best teams which for the most part it did. But that created domination and they had to go to a 4 team system and I think its been successful.

Expanding the playoffs to change the goal of putting to two best teams to the 12 "most deserving" teams in the tourney.

I'm not sure jumping from 4 to 12 is a good idea, but if you do it now then there shouldn't be a need to ask for expansion for a long time.

As long as we are getting quality and meaningful post season games it will work.

What I predict will happen is for the first 3-4 years the current top teams will continue to dominate and there will be blowouts in the tourney. I expect parity to kick in within around 5 years because the top rated talent will be spread around.

Ohio State getting through only half their schedule and struggling with Indiana and Northwestern in the process has exposed the committee and their prejudice toward brand names.

The playoff committee has no moral high ground to argue about season comparisons and proving anything on the field.

Whether it's 8 or 12, it's time.

This was the sales pitch for 4 and it's already TRIPLED.

It will be 16 in no time. Every argument for this abortion is an argument for 16, 18, 20, 24, etc
