For you play-off lovers:

OK, let's say they go with a 4-team play-off and they use the BCS (or any other) rankings to determine the top 4 teams: There are still those #5-/#6-/#7-(etc.)-ranked teams and their fans who will say that the play-off system sucks!! Bottom line: Ya'll will still whine about it! It's not like these team's players, coaches, etc., are gonna lose their jobs over it! SO STOP WHINING!!

Like the NCAA Basketball Tourney, it's certainly better to be arguing about who's #64 than who is #1.

Let #1 earn it on the field of play like every other D-I sport and let #8 or #16 bitch. (4 is too few to really resolve anything IMO).

4 team playoff? Please. 16 teams.

Rarely do we talk about anyone outside the top 10 being NC contenders, so w/ 16 teams, I feel noone would be left out that truly deserved a shot at it.

We agree on this.

16 team playoff would be perfect, but I'd settle for 8 teams if it came to it.

16 team playoff would be great. it would give some of those good teams w/ an 8-4 or 9-3 record a chance to knock some one off.

I would rather see the D1 schools limit reg season games to 10, have an off week before the start of the playoffs, then have a 32 team playoff. Each conference champion gets an automatic bid, we have to have Cinderella invited to this ball game.

There is no drama without a Hoosiers type scenario being possible. Trust me, when our HS upset an all everything big school from Sacramento with a 40 game winning streak to win our sections, it was AWESOME.

Just immagine a Rutgers getting on a roll in this thing.

Actually, the BCS rankings drop off significantly after 8-10 teams every year, and a playoff eliminates the argument of 3 teams going undefeated. Yes, the teams that don't make it will complain even if they didn't have a legit shot at a NC, just like March Madness, but it's on a lesser scale because you're talking about 0-1 loss teams with very weak schedules or 2 loss teams.

The argument that "it'll never be perfect" doesn't mean you shouldn't make it better.
