4 team playoff is simple to do.

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?

I think if the Big10 and Pac10 don’t want to join the playoff, then they can play with themselves in the Rose bowl. The contract for the other BCS bowls runs out in 09 while the Rose runs until 2013. I think if every other league jumps in for 2010, by the time 2013 comes around the 2 other conferences will want in because of the money generated. Especially when the Rose ends up with crappy match ups like this year. Oh by the way, Jim Delaney is the devil.

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....
