No, I'm not going to be one of those douches who says that the regular season is a playoff. NCAA Division 1AA (or FCS or whatever you want to call it), Division 2, and Division 3 all have playoffs with official NCAA-recognized championships. Division 1A, or FBS, has the bowl system because of one very big and very important reason: money. The amount of money that television companies, BCS executives, and universities receive from bowl bids is obscene, and there is a fear that that same excessive amount of money would not be available in a playoff system, which is complete bullshit. An 8- or 16-team playoff would generate a ton of money and it would provide us all with a legitimate champion. With this year's BCS game, Alabama wins anyway. Their defense let up in the second half which allowed Texas to make the comeback. First off, college football DOES have a playoff system.
