College football needs a playoff more than ever
College football fans have been clamoring for a playoff system for years, arguing that it’s the only fair way to declare a national champion. With teams playing musical chairs atop the rankings this season, I note in my latest column for Bullz-Eye.com that a playoff system is needed now more than ever.

Why hasn’t a website/ movement been started to build a national movement for a Div I College Football Playoff?
Here is my idea: I sent it to the BCS, NCAA, ESPN, Fox Sports, Larry King, David Letterman, and some newspapers.
Can you comment on the top 8 teams in the BCS rankings and if you would have a problem with an 8 team, 3 round playoff with those teams. I think they should rotate the big 4 bowls annually through the first round. One year Orange, then Rose, etc… as to who has the first, second, etc. pick of the playoff match ups. Then add a semifinal round and keep the BCS Championship game
You could even give the Rose and the Sugar preference for a traditional team if they are going to be hardline about that. But must keep 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc. set up. So they will have to comprimise and often just get one traditional conference team.
Less controversy, #8 vs 9 compared to #2 vs 3 rankings.
