And just to let you know...i am not pro playoff because i am a USC fan...in fact that has nothing to do with it. I am a college football fan. I want to see games decided on the field, not on voting sheets and in a computers hard drive.
Just as an example, assuming that things go pretty much as planned, would it not be cool to see Texas play Alabama with the winner taking on the victor of a Florida/Iowa matchup? Or Cincinnati play LSU with the winner getting a USC or Miami?
That scenario right now is impossible. Only because of the system in place. But there is no way you will convince me that such a scenario would somehow diminish the regular season. in fact I think it would enhance things dramatically as the regular season would then actually mean you get into such a schedule only if you are good enough to be in the top 8 or 16. Obviously polls would still have to be part of the mix...but at least the outcomes would be decided between the lines and any mistakes by voters/computers as to who is better would be straightened out with no dispute.

Both you an Moon seem to be mostly concerned about the prospect of an undefeated team not getting into the title game. Am I right? Because that's what you've both started out complaining about here.
A plus one system solves that problem!!!!!!!
And for the love of all things holy stop talking about a playoff with "the top 8 or 16". It's impossible to have it work that way. No conference in the country will sign on to something that doesn't include their champion, so let go of the idea that the best 8 teams will be playing off. I've been saying this for 5 pages, but it remains the case: Stop the detachment from reality!!
