What better person to promote a college football playoff than the president of the school that just benefited from the current bad BCS system. No one can say he's biased. I think a 4-team mini final four plus one type of tournament is coming...Go Bernie!

FLORIDA GATORS:
Football National Champions - 1996 & 2006
Basketball National Champions - 2006 & 2007

Greed has always trumped logic in college football championship ( or lack of ) history.

Interesting article...if a playoff was created, it would be the essential for the SEC to get as many conferences on board as possible, because the Big 10 and PAC 10 would probably stick with the Rose Bowl...

Maybe the BCS will try and respond with a +1 deal...the field needs to at least be open to 4 teams

Yes, I could live with a 4-team playoff. It is hard to finish in the top 4. You won't have any 3 or 4 loss teams finishing in the top 4. And it will take care of the Auburn '04 issue. Just look at the top teams since the BCS started in 1998. There always seems to be a 3rd team with a legit argument of being in the top two. Expanding what is now essentially a 2-team playoff to a 4-team playoff seems like an obvious and logical next step.

Living in Gainesville, I don't always agree with Bernie but do so on this issue. Let's hope he gets it done.
