BCS needs to just go away for good. Why can't they adopt a system like the NCAA basketball does? Start with the 64 best teams, work down to 32, to 16, etc. etc. But no, some fat, overpaid dipshit who is part of some booster club at said well known school gets to decide who goes where. FUCK THAT NOISE. I'm a big Gator fan, but I honestly will say that TCU deserves a title shot over Texas. Texas got lucky as shit against Nebraska. Whatever though, it's all a flawed system anyways. Roll Tide Roll. Bring the SEC another title I guess.

It's likely to do with the fact that there is no room for an additional six college football games, and the fact that a 64-team playoff would entirely ruin the significance of a regular season.

Four teams, aka plus-one, might work, unless there are five teams. Eight teams is too arbitrary.

The most logical and fair playoff, in my opinion, would be to take the 11 major conference champions and then five wildcards, with seeds based on BCS rankings. I've done this before on TPWW, so might as well do it again:

1. Alabama (SEC)
2. Texas (Big 12)
3. Cincinnati (Big East)
4. TCU (Mountain West)
5. Florida (Wildcard 1)
6. Boise State (WAC)
7. Oregon (Pacific-10)
8. Ohio State (Big Ten)
9. Georgia Tech (ACC)
10. Iowa (Wildcard 2)
11. Virginia Tech (Wildcard 3)
12. LSU (Wildcard 4)
13. Penn State (Wildcard 5)
14. Houston (C-USA)
15. Central Michigan (MAC)
16. Troy (Sun Belt)

Under this system, the biggest snub of 2009 would be No. 14 Brigham Young.

This also gives some significance to the smaller conferences. As it stands, there is no reason why the Sun Belt, MAC, C-USA, or WAC should be considered Division 1-A. Mountain West is at a severe disadvantage as well.

I personally think it would be a lot more fair to give every conference one entry than to arbitrarily pick the top eight teams and continue to reward the rich.

But again, this is obviously inconceivable due to time limits, which is why I think the Plus-One format would be the best (while also putting some significance back to the BCS bowl-ties)
