Why does the last 100 years of college football come into play???

Things change...in every facet of life, in every facet of sports, in every facet of business.

But no, not in college football...we need to stick to what has always been because...well...because...thats what we need to do.

Just a weak argument and one Fleischer would be proud of i suppose.

As much as you like to think so, you can't simply ignore the money that's on the table now and the deep-rooted nature of the major bowls.
And you simply ignore that both " the money" and the bowls can all be PART OF a playoff system and no, it is not logistically difficult to implement....it is only difficult to accept that change is needed at all.

The suits of the BCS are all old school conference guys who have only ONE thing on their agenda...their conferences. That does not pre-dispose itself to being good for the entire sport in any way, shape, or form. They are protecting what they believe is their god-given slice of the pie...and it is time it stopped. Its like internal investigations by police on police. What is the outcome 99% of the time? Nothing.

Change is never easy especially when those needed to help it happen are so ensconced in their duty to prevent it. That doesnt mean it couldn't or shouldn't happen and it definately doesnt mean that the current system is either equitable or the right thing because of friggin "tradition".

Of course i am just an "idiot" that is "detahced from reality" in my thinking, so just ignore my thoughts.
