Its such a preposterous argument.
And maybe playoffs dont magically make evrything better, though im not sure anyone has claimed that, but i will tell you one thing it does do...allows the players to decide.

The BCS isn't the perfect system, not close to it.
But logistically a playoff is impossible.
Every year after the regular season, we here on CP sit down and try to hash it out, it can't be done.
When to play it, where to play it, how many teams, how often to play. We can't fit 8 Round of 16 games on Saturday without overlap which would piss off networks and adversizers. How are fans going to travel all over the country, how will players cope with playing 4 straight weeks (I know they play 4 weeks straight during the season but there are some games against Cheeseball State thrown in there). Must finish playoffs before Saturday NFL playoffs start.. there's alot to consider.
The way the teams and divisions are split now, it is impossible to have a system. Pro sports have equal divisions, fairly equal schedules so the playoffs work. The Flames can't go play Olds in order to pad their record.
To me the only way to see a playoff in the future is to split FBS into 4 mega-conferences of 16 teams. So for example:
PAC-16
SEC-16
BIG-16
BIG EAST/ACC-16 (whatever)
Then do it like CIS football, division champs, conference finals, rotate the semifinals then the Vanier Cup.
Right now there is too much politics, teams are scared to play (dangerous) smaller teams and don't schedule, but will gladly play a cupcake.
Have it so these 64 teams can only play each other. Have a set schedule from the NCAA, not from the teams themselves.
Anyone, feel free to allocate 16 teams to 4 divisions.
