Better ink as been spent on the topic of an NCAA football playoff so I'll be brief. It is absolutely stupid that there isn't one. I would love to hear one good reason from somebody other than a university president as to why this system is better. It isn't because the regular season would be less exciting. It isn't because the regular season is the playoffs. The real reason is that the university presidents make lots of money from the bowl games and don't want to share.
Would the NFL be more exciting if the playoffs were eliminated and the league instead had some sort of bowl system set up? Would college basketball be better if we eliminated March Madness? If the regular season is the playoffs in college football, than why isn't Boise State and Ball State in the national title picture?
A true playoff system plus bowl games for those out of the playoffs would make tons of money. The problem is that the powers that be (the big conferences) would be forced to share the profits with the lesser thans. Anybody giving a reason other than that is stupid, full of it or both.
