This could be for naught with the lawsuits about pro players getting their bells rung over the years.
The PC crowd may well force the end of football as we know it.

Sorry but I see this as exploiting the student-athletes time and bodies for more money and not for betterment of students, colleges or traditional bowls.

Most of us did not care 50 years ago though, but many do care now.

Yeah, now the SEC can get four of their teams in there instead of 2 every year.
I will believe the corruption has been taken out when there are NO SEC teams in the playoff.
To: Positive
We’ll see how excited everyone is when the SEC has two or three teams in the playoff... every year.

How about a 256 team playoff? We can use Division I, II and III teams. We start the playoffs in September and by August of the next year we are down to the final game
To: AlexisHeavyMetal1981
Why on earth would you say such a thing? We have the best teams in the country here in the SEC. Just because USC sucks doesn’t mean you have to be a hater

The BCS grew to four bowl games plus the National Championship Game consisting of six conference champions and four wild cards. The new system will consist of six bowl games consisting of four selected semi-finalists and a spot for at least five conference champions.
Less has changed than what meets the eye. But at least there will be a true playoff.

A four team playoff? What?
Will bowl games continue?

Actually, we could do a realistic playoff with 256 teams, though 192 makes more sense. Here is how: Reconfigure the NCAA conferences to 16 conferences of 12 teams each (192 teams)
Each conference has two divisions (32 div. Champs)>
Conference championship game is essentially round one.
16 teams left
Only conference champions move on into the "Bowl" games that qualify for the final four teams.
If you cannot win your conference, you cannot be the Champ.
Season would be extended to 14 games for only two teams.

Should be a 16 yeam playoff. 11 conference champs, 5 at large. The SEC can still get 3 in and CUSA and MWC etc with 1- 2 losses has a shot

Now, if only the SEC teams outside of Vandy were affiliated with actual institutions of higher learning. . .it might once again be called college football.
With all of the rampant over-signing, roster management through "medical retirements." gray shirting, and other cynical practices of that league. half of the field is all but guaranteed to be composed of semi-pro clubs from SEC penal colonies.

All those kids care about is getting to the NFL anyway (even though few actually make it).
After reading Tebow’s book, I can see how small a part academics plays in the life of NFL bound college athletes.
