College Football is the only major sport without a playoff, and that’s part of the allure of the sport. “Every Saturday in the regular season is like a playoff game” is the saying bragged about by avid college football fans. The saying is a lie of course; just ask TCU or Boise State or Cincinnati or a handful of other schools outside of the SEC or Big 12 or schools not named Ohio State or USC. With the SEC and Big 12 and Big 10 being the power brokers of college football, the conferences will do everything in their power to block a playoff system. The three conferences want to keep the antiquated bowl system in place, since they get a majority of the money during this season and the BCS is pretty heavily rigged in their favor.
