confrence they come from. Althought it will initially lose money for the NCAA, I feel that keeping the fans happy is much more important and that will ultimately meaqn more money for the NCAA. With a playoff system the BCS will not have to choose the teams they think are the best.This season was a very contraversial season in college football. There were many teams worthy of playing in the Championship game. This season the game will be between Florida and Oklahoma. Both of these temas have lost a game at some point throughout the regular season. I think that Florida certainly has the right to be in this game, but many would argue that Oklahoma was not the next best team. They did lose to Texas on a nuetral field and many people believe that Texas is the most deserving team seeing as they only lost one game also.
As you can see, the entire system is all very confusing and base on opinion. With a playoff this problem will be solved and there will be no more contraversy.

Too bad a playoff system still would leave more questions and more fans unhappy than the current system. Reason Being:
1) A playoff still doesnt crown the "best" team in the country. It just crowns the team that can win the games when it matters. You can't tell me if Utah was to play and beat Florida, that Utah is a BETTER team than the gators. Now way. It happens all the time, last year super bowl is another great example among the many. the giants were a sub .500 team going into the playoffs, yet they got hot at the right time and beat the undefeated Patriots. Where they really the BEST team in the NFL, no, but they won when they had too and that caused them to think they are. Therefore even a playoff will still leave people wondering and guessing who the best team is because a playoff will still create as many questions, if not more, than the current BCS system does. When just want it because it makes us feel good. By thinking that every team controls their own destiny, we think it makes it okay and can crown the best team in the nation, it won't and can't, plain and simple.
2) A playoff system would be a nightmare to fans to go to. How to you get home field advantage? How can fans know how to reserve hotel rooms for the next round? Where will the national championship game be held at? How do you get to games if you don't have tickets because your team wasn't suppose to even make it out of the first round? Lots of logistic issue arise with this method, whereas the current bowl system- you know who you play, where you play.
3)Also, football takes lots of preparation to play, unlike basketball or baseball. You need to watch film on you opponent, create a gameplan, and practice that game plan. With a playoff, you aren't for sure who you next opponent will be. therefore you could be going into games fairly cold.
Playoffs don't solve anything and people need to quit whinning about the BCS, a playoff would be just as bad,
