Re: And so does this thread
Do you realize how much money the BCS system makes the major conferences? It's an astronomical number - the chairman of the BCS came out today and said they would look at nominating a 'panel of experts' to contribute to the bowl game nominations, but in no way would they consider a playoff. Hell, why would they? They're all making so much money it's unbelieveable, I wouldn't want to give up the BCS either if I were them!

The problem, as I see it, is that one game between two teams basically means very little, because just as in poker, there is a lot of short-term luck in sports. That's why they play best-of-seven in the NBA and MLB. How many times have you seen the #1 team lose in the first or second round of the NCAA tournament to some nobody? The nobody played their best game ever, the #1 team had an off night. So no matter how big your playoff system is, it still proves squat about who the best team is. [/ QUOTE ]
