auee90 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...gene&id=2209572 Good article, and states a good alternative to a true playoff, after making this point: A playoff, which just happens to determine 88 championships in other NCAA sports -- including non-Division-IA football -- is a presidential no-no for now. You've heard the usual reasons: It would harm the bowls, require too many games, interfere with exam schedules.Meanwhile, these same presidents OK a 12th regular-season game and lengthen the postseason (next season's BCS Championship will be played Jan. 8, 2007). The alternative: So how about the next best thing? How about the only thing that makes sense, short of a 16-, eight- or even four-team playoff?How about the first-ever BCS Selection Committee? The current BCS just doesn't have enough credibility. Maybe slightly more than the proclamation of champions in the past (not just Bama). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
