You all can go round and round about the pros/cons of a playoff system, but at the end of the day no one actually in the sport wants a playoff.
Obviously, the conferences, ADs and school presidents don't want a playoff. But did you know that 73% of coaches (including TCU's Patterson and BSU's Peterson) want to keep the BCS the way it is:

I've read other articles (which I can't seem to find right now) that surveyed the players and 80% of them don't want a playoff either.
If no one in the sports wants a playoff it clearly isn't going to happen anytime soon.
