Consider that you have about 100 division I teams. Also, how would you devise a playoff system? You can't have 64 teams - like in college basketball - play 3 games per week to get a champion. Thus, isn't the BCS the best system used to this point in time, even though it's not perfect?
How could you pick teams to go into a playoff system without causing just as much controversy as the BCS does in the first place?

You could use the exact same system that the use on all other levels of collegiate football. Just a thought, seems to work for them so it most likely would work in the big boy league. It wont happen though due to money.

The BCS is the best system we have had, mostly because of the presence of the six computer polls the BCS uses which are far more objective than the media and coaches polls (for example, the computer polls take into account strength of schedule of each team).
And because of economic reasons which are way beyond me as someone who does not like the field of economics, a 1A playoff system will not happen in MY lifetime (I am 41), and the BCS, which can and should continue to refine itself (for example, only conference winners should be allowed to play in the national title game), will probably be the best system we EVER get before out of control global warming makes college football superfluous.

Like this....9 team playoff....8 vs. 9 for a play-in spot, that way the 9th team can't argue. Then 1 vs 8, 2 vs. 7 and so on until a winner has been decided. It's completely fool proof. BCS is a horrible system, and I'm not sure why it still exists, there's been controversy every single year.

naw man
and college football seems to be the only sport having such a problem
nobody is statisfied with the BCS
I do understand what you are saying there is no way to make a playoff system with a 15 game or less season(for each school)

why not expand the season to accomodate a 16 or 32 team National Championship playoff? Let it go into late January.....The NFL could roll that hype into the Superbowl too .......
