I thought, I heard the only thing holding back any kind of playoff was the Rose Bowl, or the PAC-10 and BIG 10..... I think all the conferences with conference championship games are for a playoff....
Thats the single most reason I can't stand USC. Not because I don't like their team, not because I think they are overrated, but because they and their contacts in the rose bowl gurantee them a spot in that game every year. Likewise they won't support a playoff because it would mean they aren't guranteed a BCS bowl every year anymore.
