Why not add two games to the BCS system, perhaps the Cotton and Cap One,
why do people always suggest adding our bowls to the BCS? This would screw the SEC out of quality bowl game tie-ins.

the tv ratings would be astronomical for all the games.
yeah, the games would actually mean something.

I guess we are all happy USC claims a part of 2003.
We need a playoff.
Bad.
If not for money, for the sport of it all. Why does every other sport claim an NCAA champion and NCAAF does not? They call it a BCS champion.
Everybody talks about other confrences strenth of schedule. We would eleminate that conversation with a playoff.
Who here is opposed to a playoff?

More money for whom? That is the key question for the BCS conferences.
A playoff system with at least 11 conferences splitting the money (at least 11 Div. 1 conferences that will want in the playoffs: WAC, MWC,CUSA, Sunbelt, MAC, ACC, BE, SEC, Big 10, Pac 12, Big 12-2) will not be attractive the the 6 BCS conferences.
Some think simply adding 3 games to the season will not impact the regular season, but I think that is unrealistic. There is no way university presidents will add three more games (making the season up to 16 games for the championship game teams). Remember, in theory, these are college students who are not getting paid. Would you as a rational college football player want to add three extra games for essentially nothing but added risks of injury that might end a potentially lucrative professional career? Remember these players are also full-time students. It is very different from the pros. The options for a playoff (at least beyond a plus one) are not very attractive to the BCS conferences. They aren't likely to get more money because of likely shorter regular season and the loss of millions in revenue for each regular season home game they would have to give up. And you can be pretty much guaranteed that the playoffs would not generate enough to compensate the LSUs, Alabamas, etc. for the $3 million or more for each home game they might lose.

Basketball student athletes sure have time....
And they play two games a week for the NCAA championship.
That is not a good argument.

The point I am trying to get through is there is no reason for a BCS system that can't be overcome. No reason.
It's not even the money. Schools don't benefit from bowl games. Florida took home $47.000 from the 2009 BCS National Championship. You wanna know what the payout was?
17.5 Million.
Between Coaches bonuses ($960,000)
Travel Costs (190,000)
Tickets (320,000)
Band and Cheer team (190,000)
The total for that and entertainment reqired by the venue equals 2.42 Million.
What anout the 14 sum odd million more?
The CONFRENCE gets this payout.
They divide it up into 13 ways. All schools get money then one extra piece gos to the Office.
Do the math. Thats $49,000.
Research the facts. A football season is a terrible thing to waste.

That's exactly right, which is why there could be more money made with a playoff.
More games = more money.
I don't understand why people can't get this. Games played in a playoff system will draw more $$$.

Re basketball and football
Why do you think that the pro football regular season is only 16 games? There is no equivalence between the two sports at all. It is not just about class time, but wear and tear.

Yeah, and we lost money when we had to go out to Arizona. Now, we make more than enough with the SEC TV deal and our own deal with SunSports, but the schools, especially SEC schools, aren't making a whole lot from bowl games.

University presidents are not going to extend the season by simply adding a playoff of three games. Not gonna happen. The physical demands on players who are not full time atnletes aren't justified by it. And they are unlikely to shorten the regular season because the big schools make too much income on the games they would have to give up.
If the economics supported a playoff, why aren't all those money grubbing ADs at the big schools jumping on it. It's because they know they will get less money with a short regular season, and they know the presidents are dead set against a longer season.

Tiger1984:
It's more about who gets the money. The big schools understand they will net less money because they will take a smaller share than they do now. More schools will share the money and the increased total, if any, will not likely make up the difference.

I think the only logical answer to why there will not be a playoff is that people do not like change in general. All the other answers point to why we should have a playoff.

if you havent read it yet, everyone should read the book "Death to the BCS".

the only way the NCAA will recognize the title is if every D1A conference gets a playoff birth
so, in short, the NCAA ain't recognizing a CFB champ for a long time. 16 teams is a horrible idea and a long fricking way off
