The BCS works out about as well as a one-legged man humping a football, or is it a monkey in an ass-kicking contest, or maybe I'm confused, but the point is the BCS isn't very effective at deciding a definitive national champion. Sure you could do a plus-one system, but what about when there are 6 or 7 teams like this year. Obviously the only reasonable choice is an 8-team playoff...except that now instead of one or two top 5 teams bitching about being left out, now you have 4 or 5 teams bitching and asking for a 12 team playoff with byes. I could go on and on like this forever, and we'd never come up with a system we could all agree on. So Matt Sussman over at Blogcritics did the only reasonable thing left to do: A playoff system to decide on a playoff system. With tournament ideas like the 97 team playoff, the Xbox 360 simulated season, and even the plus shaped field with 4 teams battling it out at once, there is something for everybody. So vote for your favorites and by this time next year there will be no controversy at all surrounding the NCAA football champion.
