I agree with you about the playoff, spongy. In fact, there's a great proposal that would only require one extra game, and it would at least create a slightly more legitimate feel to National Championship. Now, I've never made it a secret that I'm a USC diehard, and I also believe that our two championships have been legit. However, if they installed a plus-one system, where the top 4 teams play against each other in two bowls (#1 vs #4, #2 vs #3) and then the winner of those bowls facing off in the extra bowl game for all the marbles, I believe USC would now be playing for its fourth straight championship. There would still be controversy and team that will say they were cheated; but, that happens even in other sports where they "play for the championship" (i.e. the Angels in this past year's ALCS with the infamous strike three that wasn't). I believe that's the only feasible way college football can clear up a lot of the complaints and controversy surrounding the crowning of the National Champion.
