Any playoff system is 1000 times better than the BCS
The MWC’s playoff proposal may not be perfect, but it’s a playoff. ANY playoff system, no matter how imperfect, is light years better than the BCS. College football fans need to focus on just getting a playoff system in place, instead of nitpicking over imperfections in proposals.
4 teams, 8 teams, 16 teams or more – who cares?? 4 would lead to 8, 8 would lead to 16 and 16 might just lead to more (although it’s my opinion 16 might be the golden number in football).
The bottom line is that we need to break the BCS barrier and get any sort of playoff implemented. That is the hardest part!
Not coincidentally, it’s also the thing BCS commissioners are scared to death over:
The Bowl Championship Series last summer shot down a proposal brought by Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive that would have created a four-team playoff.
One of the reasons commissioners from the Big East, Big 12, Pac-10 and Big Ten gave for being against the so-called plus-one model Slive presented was a fear that any playoff system would inevitably expand.
