Hey, CBass, consider this: If ALL conference champs were allowed by rule into the BCS games, under a playoff system, then first, wouldn't the likes of say, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Auburn all want OUT of the SEC, to go win a patsy conference? So LSU would try to take La Tech's place in their conference, and wipe out the likes of Hawaii and Boise State every year consistently.
Second, suppose we designed a "playoff" system. I'm certain that a team's record would be a major factor in determining who gets into the playoff. So, WHY would a good team schedule a strong out-of-conference team? We'd still be in the same predicament.
Finally, football, unlike basketball (i.e. March Madness) doesn't play very many games. To really determine who's worthy to make the playoffs, you'd need more games. This would be in addition to the playoff games as well. So yer talkin' 'bout 20 games at least -- The NFL needs about that many, and they only have, what? -32 teams, as compared to over 100 in college football.
So, anyone want to suggest an alternative to the BCS that would actually WORK?
