OBAMA doesnt give a crap about a playoff system. He said he wants a playoff system because Penn is a swing state and he knew Penn State was #3 on the outside looking in, and he knows that a playoff system is a popular theory among CFB fans. He was winning votes, bottom line. McCain was campaigning very hard in Penn.
I guess I'm still the only one who doesn't want a playoffs. Would it give us a truer champion every year? Yes, but I can spot the best teams without a championship telling me who it is. The best teams actually don't win the championship more often than they do. A playoff might change that, but I don't really care. Bowl season is exciting and I love it. I would rather keep the bowl system with the BCS, and just tweak it a bit. Teams like Georgia Tech, Boise St and West Virginia have no place in the BCS bowl games this year over teams like Ohio St, Texas Tech (still a fraud in my mind, but they earned it), Georgia and Ok St. Only two teams from the Big 12 will be in the BCS bowls and there's probably about 5 that would go undefeated in the Big East, or ACC or with any non-BCS team's schedule that is currently in the mix for a BCS spot (Utah, BYU, Boise St).
No playoffs, but also no auto bids for crappy conferences.

It will probably take an act of congress for it to happen.
Nobody cares about the welfare of the game, just their wallets, and it doesn't matter who gets run over or left out. $$$ is all that matters to the college presidents that force us to see what makes them money instead of doing whatever is best for the game.
