The BCS taking aim at the NFL's playoff "problem"
The BCS propaganda blog is savaging the NFL and they are using a Whitlock column in the process:
http://playoffproblem.com/wordpress/?p%3d88 For what it is worth, I think the solution to ensure that teams play to win after clinching everything is to extend homefield advantage to include hosting the Super Bowl for teams that finish 16-0. Make the regular Super Bowl host location rotation Miami, New Orleans and Pheonix/Glendale and in a year where a team finishes the regular season 16-0 and advances in the playoffs to host the Super Bowl (which obviously won't happen often), the city that was scheduled to host the Super Bowl that year will get bumped to the following year. |

There is no way to have the "host city" if a team goes 16-0. This is absurd. Many cities plan 2-3 years out for the event. Not knowing where the event would be held one month before would be an nightmare, to say the least.

I remember the fact that the Pats didn't rest their starters when they finished 16-0 pissed a lot of people off.
People kept saying it was the greed of BB etc. |

**** the BCS. Drink your own medicine. The main reason the BCS doesn't want to create a playoffs is because they want BCS matchups to be nailed down as soon as possible so that the bowls have time to promote the matchups. If the BCS drank their own medicine, they'd make this suggestion and then promote a playoff game where they can promote a bowl on a shorter timetable. If the BCS refuses to do it, they shouldn't try to suggest that the NFL should do it. |

Big difference between college and NFL – the NFL is about math, college is about perception.

The BCS should fix their own playoff problems before they start chiming in on NFL affairs. The NFL system works.......

Meh. All the NFL has to do to solve this would be to make the last 6 games of the regular season be the division games. It'd make the playoff chase that much more exciting, too.

It's not a problem.
Teams that rest their starters tend to lose in the playoffs. Failure is your punishment for having a chickenshit coach. The Commissioners office is similar to Congress. Those idiots feel that if they're not doing something, they haven't justified their existence. Seriously, fellas - sometimes the best solution is to just not do anything at all. There's no 'problem' here and the BCS can suck my dick.
