I believe that this would cause an incredible demand for the BCS system to be scrapped, and for some type of playoff system, involving 4, 6 (with 2 top seeds getting byes) or 8 teams)

Your thoughts..

The BCS system is a playoff system. Your problem is that you like me want more teams invited to the post season tourney. And the BCS is not a very good method for picking the two teams in the post season tourney.

This is not a small point. Since we already have a playoff system, the issue is not whether on not the college Presidents will go along with a play off in D1A football, they already have. The issue is the much less controversial one of how many teams should be in that playoff. I vote 8, but certainly it should be more than two.

Yeah, buddy. The top eight teams should be competitive, and it will let teams that jell as the season progresses get into the playoffs. High school teams play as many as six playoff games, so this shouldn't put too big a burden on college teams. While there will obviously be quibbling about the 7th and 8th spot, eight places would provide a space for every team that legitimately has a shot at a national title.
