Maybe in theory. In reality, it's not simple at all because the Big Ten and the Pac-10 won't give up their Rose Bowl ties. And a playoff won't get off the ground without the Big Ten and the Pac-10.
So what's your argument to the Big Ten and the Pac-10 as to why they should abandon the Rose Bowl for a playoff system?
There is NO bowl like the Rose Bowl. There is no place to play a BIG game like the Rose Bowl. There is NO better town than Pasadena to host a game.... that said, The $$$ made on the Pac-10 vs Big-10 is gonna be hard to replace for the schools..... They should play the Rose Bowl between the two and if one of the teams is ranked in the top 4 for the BCS Championship playoff then a replacement is picked by standings....
