A playoff is better than saying one conference is better than another conference and choosing the National Champion based on that. I do agree that certain conferences are better from top to bottom, but the SEC has had their teeth kicked in when they played tougher conferences. I do remember some very fast Miami teams getting beat up when they played a tougher Nebraska team for example. The top teams in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament fall all the time when they play other good teams. I just think it is not about conference it is about individual program success. Florida and Ohio State have been top teams for years. But it is not like every year Florida could beat the top Big Ten teams every single year considering that they did get beat a few times by a Michigan team and a Michigan State team in recent years. I just want at the very least a 4 team playoff in football and let these teams prove they belong. Even the 57th team in basketball has a beef. You will always have teams that feel they should have gotten a chance. That would be better than choosing only two teams and one is because they play in a "so-called" better conference.

Who says that Boise St. wouldn't beat Florida? Follow me here: Boise St. beat Oregon St. who beat USC who trounced Arkansas who beat Auburn who beat Florida .....so Boise St. REALLY is better than Florida!!!!

Keep in mind that Florida only got into the BCS Championship game because UCLA beat USC...otherwise they don't get a chance. (not as bad as when Nebraska got into the championship game vs. Miami because Rice kicked a last second/game winning field goal against TCU on the last day of the season - that gave Nebraska just enough computer points; the Huskers beat Rice earlier in the year)).

By the way, did you know that the Philadelphia Eagles played EIGHT games in between the Buckeyes' last game prior to the BCS Championship Game?

Lots of problems w/ the whole BCS.....JUST GET A PLAYOFF like everybody else!!!
