I guess I was wrong when I said they are not even considering this. Local news said they are going to discuss a 4 team playoff in the off season. They said IF they do decide to do this then it wont take effect until 2010. Maybe this is old news, but it is the first time I heard it.

The president at Georgia came out in favor of a playoff. I think he's up the chain on some committee right now, too.

They're taking a look at a "one-plus" format. Which basically means making two national semi-final games, #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3, and then a national championship game.
Of course, the only opposition is from "King" Delaney of the Big Ten, and the Pac-10, to "protect" the Rose Bowl.

After witnessing the Superbowl...does its outcome (the record breaking first ever 18-0 team EVENTUALLY gets beat by a team with 6 times as many losses) temper the clamoring for a college playoff.
Had this been the "college" ranks, EVERYONE would have agreed that the Patriots should have been named National Champions. However, if you KEEP putting an opponent on the field, at somepoint they will lose.

Good call coach 5085. I guess the current system is unAmerican.

coach orr--but which system?
I guess my point is that "best" and champ are not synonymous. The NFL method gives us a clearly defined "champ". However, had it been the NCAA's, and they stopped after 18 weeks Would anyone have had a problem with saying the 18-0 Patriots were the "champs" AND the #1 team?
If you keep putting the "best" team out to play, at some point they are going to get beaten...and perhaps by a team that has already lost 6 other times.
NCAA mens basketball is / has been declining immensely in popularity from NOV till the last week of FEB. Would NCAA basketball become something like that?
