My last final is on the 19th. I don't know about other schoools. I am not saying that they will be missing finals, however it is interfering with their schoolwork. I think it is a problem that there are so many bowls now so that the team must choose between school and sports.
However, you are forcing some teams to play 2 more games, the first system had a team potentially playing 4 games. That is ridiculous. Like I said, these athletes are being payed next to nothing in a grueling and damaging sport. The NCAA and the colleges are trying to squeeze as much money out of them as possible, and a extended playoff for the number 1 to 10 teams for the "title" which is worthless doesn't make sense except to those that don't play and those that gain from it.
The bowls are just a way to reward teams for doing well. Who really cares about the #1 title except the fans. The NCAA has gotten too greedy and promotes commercialism while hitting some schools with harsh punishments for minor infractions. The BCS system in my opinion is still the best thing there is.
PS: I imagine the PAC-10 gets an automatic bid, just because of the Fiesta and the Rose Bowl are both owned by PAC-10 teams.
