The regular season games and bowls are irrelevant now, adding in the play-offs isn't going to make a difference to that.

Really? Because teams only play for a National Championship? You're going to tell me that Boise State winning their BCS game against Oklahoma wasn't as rewarding/intriguing (or in my opnion moreso) then the national championship game?
Winning a Bowl Game or a BCS game is a big deal, just because you don't win a NC doesn't mean your season was a disaster.
I'm with Flames in 07 on this. A few years ago Michigan played Ohio State in November, the winner would have finished the regular season unbeaten and made the championship game. If there was a playoff, they both would have made and that game would have been meaningless.
this is the season i was referring to.

Edit: Also, even in an 8 team playoff it becomes "unfair". Where is the cutoff? what if the 8th place team goes on a run and wins it all? but the 9th place team doesn't get a shot but thinks they deserved it. Do you think an unbeaten Utah is better than a 1 loss OK State? No matter what system they use it'll be controversial.
