how will this help the SEC. Right now you only have to win the SEC and you are in the Championship game. With a playoff we would have to win a few more games against a lot better opponents to make it there.

I must have missed that BCS rule. Granted the SEC champion has been part of the NC game for four consecutive years but nothing says that has to be the case. An unbeaten Auburn team comes to mind.

That was before the SEC ramped up its current reputation of being far and away the best conference in college football.
Does it mean it will always be that way? Nope. Doesn't detract from the point made.

Actually it does. The poster suggested all an SEC team had to do is win the conference to play in the NC. The fact you answered your self posed question with a "nope" detracts from the point made.

I think any plan that allows the NC to be settled on the field is an advantage to the SEC. At this time the SEC simply has better football teams than other conferences.
The SEC has sent teams to the last four NC games but its always precarious at best when the determination is left to polls. IMO Alabama and Florida were the two best teams in college football last season. And while I hate the "what if" game, had LSU defeated Bama and then if the Tide defeats Florida in the SECCG, there's a good chance, with the number of unbeatens around at the end of the season, there is no SEC team in the NC game.
If you have the better teams its always in your best interest to determine the championship on the field.

When those non-BCS schools get destroyed in "playoff" games, they're seriously gonna regret this. They're making more money now than they will then.

My problem with this argument is that it overlooks the already paid costs of business. The major schools from the major conferences have been paying huge amounts of money over the years for a variety of expenses that are football related.
So why the hell do the small market schools who recently arrived to the party think they are entitled to the same sweatheart deal that the big schools have established?
Great point, as well. The BCS schools pay more money for coaches, more for facilities, more in stadium upgrades, etc. In business, the more money you put in, the more you'll get (usually).

pretty sure he qualified the statement with a "right now"

Yeah because we never lose to non BCS schools.

Soetoro and the terrorist apologist have bigger fish to fry with the BCS.

Look if anyone can come with a solution its the federal government.
I think Obama will come up with a plan to have an 8 team or 12 team playoff with the winner having the rights to play Harvard for the NC.

Obama will have the worst teams in football play because, obviously they don't have the same advantages as the "have's" and the best teams will have to pay all of the expenses for the bad team to go...

That is a point I was trying to make. Very good. The government can't keep their own house, they should keep out of things they think they know and don't.

BCS is only reason for 03 and 07 NCs (espec 07)

They should also look into the unjust seeding of the NCAA basketball tournament. I mean, is it really fair that a 25-5 SWAC team gets a 16 while a 20-10 team from the ACC gets a 8 seed?

So LSU would not have made it in those years if there was a playoff? They would not have had a chance to win it all? I don't understand the logis behind saying the BCS is the only reason we have titles in '03/'07
