I truly believe that most college football fans want a playoff system to determine a true national champion rather than a contrived bowl system that determines nothing. Unfortunately most fans feel that this decision is out of their control...Not True. Fans determine if we get a playoff system or if we stick with the current system of meaningless exhibition games. Each year we hear all the reasons why people hate the BCS, the bowl system etc. The reason college football is big business is because of us...we are are the ones that pay for the season tickets, jerseys, booster donations etc. The NCAA is influenced by how we spend our money. If we continue to buy bowl game tickets and travel to games we have no one to blame but ourselves for the lack of a playoff.

 

If we the fans would simply boycott the bowls for 1 year (really just a little over a month) we would see change happen quickly. For one bowl season we should boycott buying tickets, traveling to the game, and even from watching it on Television. If we did this we would have more influence then we could possibly imagine.

 

It is said that the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over but hoping for a different result...Stop the insanity and boycott the bowls!!

 

Sorry for the rant.

Haven't watched this convoluted "championship" in several years, it's my little way of giving it and Tostitos the finger. You may not find many here who support you, but those of us who cheer during several playoffs each year for our local teams see the absurdity of making a champion on an opinion. If opinion by "experts" and computers actually worked, my Red Wings would have been in at least 5 more Stanley Cup finals since the 90's, but the game is played on the field not in let's pretend.

I know that reasonable people can disagree on this topic, but I am wondering about those that do not want a playoff system in college football...do you have the same perspective in other sports or is this just unique to college football? If this is the best way to determine a champion, maybe we should stop March Madness and the College World Series and just let the top two teams play a game to determine the champion of that sport. To me it seems obvious that the basketball tourney and the College World Series are great events that add lots of excitement and let the decision be made on the field/court but I would be interested on others perspective.

It's also a different sport in a professional league.

I see what you did there.... with the influx of SC fans on the board, you're hoping to implant the thought inside their head in the hopes that they boycott the game, opening up tickets for Husker fans... Very nice, very nice indeed.
