When Will Get A Division 1 Football Playoff System?

No matter how you look at it this season is full of upsets and under/over rated teams.

We need a Playoff System. It's the only way we can say, without doubt, on who deserves

National Champion. Even in so called "Clear Cut Seasons", we cant be sure, not enough

cross conference play to say who deserves the shot. Oh sure we use the polls to determine

the ones that do, But what do the polls really give us "Upsets, Over Rated and Under Rated

Teams" thats what we get, nothing sure or positive. Don't get me wrong I like the polls just

can't hold much faith in them, let alone determine the two best teams in the nation. How

long will we be without a Playoff System? At least it would be alot more clear cut, but I'm

sure it will have it's limitations and controversy, but deffinately be more accurate in who is

the best. It's sad that some teams gets left out and dont get the shot they deserve. Just

ask a Boise State fan last year. They did everything they need to do to be the best, a perfect

season. But to what end? Did they get a shot? I believe,  not saying what the outcome would've

been, they did what they were supposed to to get there. You can say "Well their Schedule

wasn't as strong as its should be" Well who knows for sure whose going to be the teams to

play when you make the schedules years in advance. We need to get this fixed. We need

a Playoff System, a legitimate one too. 16 teams or more, I also know that not all agree with

a change in the system, most of them fans have a crown or two too, but every other sport on

all levels do it why cant Division 1 Football? As Fans of College Football we need to speak out

and make ourselves heard and tell the Fatcats in the NCAA and BCS that enough is enough.

Below is a Poll I did on the Subject

Should There Be a College Football Playoff?

We will get a playoff system when the college presidents wake up and realize that this could be a good thing for their schools. Granted, there is going to be some resistance and the argument that the players already miss school. We are dealing with adults, not some 16-year old kid who has a job at the local Zippy Mart sweeping the floor. Instead of 16 teams, have 64, like in NCAA Basketball. Play the games in neutral sites (preferably ones with either a dome or warm weather.) and have a final four in a place, such as LA, Hawaii or even Atlanta.

The BCS will never be replaced because it draws so much revenue for the NCAA. How about this instead?

1. Top 8 seeds play in the top 4 bowl games. 2. Re-seed winners of these 4 games. 3. #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3. 4. Winners of the semis play in a National Championship Game.

Okay, it adds 2 weeks to the current schedule but it would be a ratings bonanza. It also keeps the BCS ratings more relevant near the end of the season as all top#25 will be busting ass to finish in the top 8.

Now, rip my plan.

not a bad idea wouldn't add no time toward the NC, considering the time span that takes up all the bowls. making it 16 would only add one week more. I'M just screaming for something...
