Nonsense. How much more elaborate can the BCS system be? And regular season games still mean just as much as ever....again if you dont win em, you dont make the playoff. Seems to work for every other organized sport in North America.
Take USC out of the picture...and lets use Florida. Do you disagree that they are one of the best teams in the country, regardless of losing at home to an unranked conference opponent? I sure think they are. Same with Oklahoma. But should Bama Penn State and TT all win out....then niether is going to be considered for a title. Thats a shame. Those kids and programs deserve better than that IMO.
Guess what would solve that problem?

No it's not, they didn't win their games.
Right now it's a 2 team playoff. As you increase the games you make the regular season games less important. That is completely undebatable, it's just a fact. In a 8 team playoff. The USC v Oregon State game meant nothing. USC is in either way. In a 2 team playoff that game has tons if importance. Isn't that just simple to understand?
And enough about the kids, in the current system 26 teams walk off the field at the end of the year winning their last game. The tons of bowls over the holidays is one of the best things in life. BCS is given that a right hook, and your playoff would be the knockout punch. People are too fixated now on a NC, a playoff makes that worse.
And btw when polled accross america NCAA football has been commonly voted the most favorite sport. And that has been for 20 years ... 20 years without a playoff. How can that be? It's because right now, every game is important. A playoff kills that. The general public doesn't get that, but the conference commissions do.
