[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 777479, member: 265"] I agree with some of this, but, in fact, it would make sense to expand to a 8 or 12 team playoff. Provided, that is, that the teams that get in are [I]conference champions[/I]. No also rans allowed and no use of rankings to determine who gets in. That would not automatically get rid of the "Bammer and Clemson, again?" problem, but it would make it less likely and give the non-P5 conference champs a chance to show what they can do. It would also make the bowls more meaningful. What it comes down to is that I think Steam is downplaying the role of plain bum luck in football, especially when you get into a real playoff. You can see this in Div 3 and I wouldn't be surprised to see it crop up in an expanded BCS playoff. But … given the perceived need for blockbuster TV ratings, I don't look for this any time soon.
