in that case, why even have a regular season, just make the whole season one big tournament?
look, anyone can get lucky on a single day, the whole point of a season is to see which team wins the most over the long haul. playoffs have become bloated and mostly useless in the world of sports, and the one sport that doesnt have them, is the second biggest and second oldest sport in the country. why mess with it? sure the BCS is loony, it cant decide if it is about tradition (polls), or logic (computers) and trying to compromise between the means that most of the time, somebody is going to be pissed off. the systme only works when there are two clear cut teams left standing after the season is over (OSU/Miami and USC/Texas).
If a playoff is introduced, it has to be unique, and uphold the tradition of the sport that made it so great in the first place. example one would be to make the BCS championship game an extra game between the top two teams after the traditional bowls have been played. Example 2 would be to establish a flexible playoff. meaning that there isnt a set number of teams invited before the season starts. in years like last year and 02, there would just be a single game between two unbeaten schools. In years like this one, if there are two legit one loss teams, they play each other for the right to play the unbeaten team. I like this solution, as USC would get to face Michigan, then if UM wins they deservedly get their rematch. (somewhat off topic, i think this should be looked at by the NFL as well, as no team with an 8-8 record should ever be in the playoffs, nor should a 10-6 team ever be shut out of them)
