There aren''t going to be any playoffs, because the Bowls have too much money.
Yeah that''s about it. There''s way too much cash wrapped up in the PersianKitty.com Peach Bowl, despite the fact that people would probably love Playoffs anyway.
What is more stupid is that they are considering dropping strength of schedule and quality wins from the formula! That is total BS. I guess all the Tulanes and Oregons of the world will celebrate that.
Living in a Division I-AA town, i tend to not follow the Division I-A schools as closely. I really enjoy the playoffs for division I-AA, and I can''t help but be let down that I-A uses the system that they do. Oh well, it does provide a few solid days of football.

Whoah, whoah, whoah there! I know there is Indiana and Idaho in there, and we miss USC due to stupid Pac-10 scheduling oddities, but we added Oklahoma at Norman to our OOC schedule.

Dagnabbit! I can''t argue that much until the Pac-10 as a whole gets better We''re not that far removed from a season ending #2 ranking though... ah, nothing like living in the sports past!
In all seriousness, after looking over this ""piggyback bowl"" stuff, it''s just stupid enough to have come from the minds of the BCS... sigh. Just have the 2 winners of the 4 big BCS games play each other the following week. That would do more to fix things than any tweaking to formulas and polls will ever do.
Edit: Me no gud at bowl math, I guess... How ''bout this: Seed the teams in the BCS games. Have #1 play #4 and #2 play #3. Have the winners of those 2 games play the following week in the BCS Title Game. Hooray!

What does the Bridge Construction Set have to do with anything?

I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
Watch me learn to draw.
