as i've stated all along: "If college football were to have a playoff system it would look too much like a sport"
as you can infer, college football is a business and they make more money with people bickering about who the champ is. think about it people want to spend more money to support their club to show the world they're number 1 and everyone wins, the tv networks, the colleges (bcs money and paraphenalia), and ultimately the university presidents.

not quite true that college football doesn't have a playoff system, as football in division 1-aa, division 2, and division 3 have playoff systems!
your statement should read, "if division 1-a college football were to have a playoff system, it would look too much like a sport"
but i do agree with the sentiments of what you wrote.

I just wish they would set up some interesting games. For instance Auburn vs Utah. Lets' see if Utah can play with the big boys and the allure of 2 unbeaten teams. Or Texas vs Auburn, you want to stir up controversy that could do it. Va Tech , though I like them, isn't a compelling match up. I figure AU by 14.
Someone explain why Utah gets a game with Pitt? Compelling, no way, snore corps! They deserve a shot at a real BCS team! Let Pitt and VA tech or Michigan play. Texas also got a raw deal in terms of opponent. But the trip is one the UTers won't forget. The Rose is an awesome place to visit.

usc whooped auburn's ass last year 23-0 in auburn!
auburn's non-conference opponents this year:
the citadel, not even a division 1-a team
louisiana monroe
louisiana tech
and auburn played all of them at home!
usc's non-conference opponents:
virginia tech (winner of the acc)
colorado state
byu
notre dame (beat tennessee and michigan).
i do think some of the match ups you proposed would be excellent, but alas, the bcs doesn't really care what us fans think, lol.
