The Bowl Championship Series rankings that will ultimately decide Division 1A college fooball supremacy in America came out this week. So once again, it’s time for anyone who cares about this grand game to begin their annual rant against the NCAA and their lack of a playoff system. With every sport (including all other levels of football) having some sort of playoff, it seems logical to have one in this case as well. Creating such a system would be straightforward: the NCAA could simply take the top eight teams in the Associated Press poll and match them up. This might sound uncomplicated, until you factor in the monetary part of the equation. The bottom line is that college football is run by the elite programs that make up the “power conferences” along with television networks; both parties have no interest in sharing their slice of the pie with the Boise States of the world. So, until the NCAA stops allowing the networks and a handful of colleges to make all of the decisions, we will be stuck with this murky mess they call the BCS.
