or as great.

If there were any modifications to the BCS, I'm in favor of a +1 scenerio. I think a full-blown 8-team playoff would cause more controversy than the current BCS system. Its relatively easy to pick the 1v2 matchup - on occasion the #3 team will claim a steak in the MNC title, and possibley the #4 team. But to implement an 8-team playoff it gets much more complicated. Obviously #7 doesn't feel they should be in the mnc game, but if there was an 8 team playoff, there's probably half a dozen teams that think they are at least the 8th best team in the country, yet they're ranked just outside #8. While a playoff sounds nice, I don't think it will solve any problems. If there was a playoff to start today, ND would be left out, but the whole country saw them take USC to the wire and most would agree that they should be in. The current system isn't best, but a playoff system wouldn't be any better.
