Yeah, Forde's article is dead on.
 
In my view, at minimum, there should be a 16 team playoff. A 15th ranked A&M team went into Bama and put it on them when most of the pundits were saying they couldn't be beat, some goof balls even saying they could beat a lower tier NFL team. What a joke. An unranked and very average Pitt team had ND on the ropes in South Bend, and arguably should've won. K-State was putting a world of hurt on everyone, before running into a mediocre Baylor team, etc., etc.
 
We all know it's about the $$$ and the rich getting richer, in this case, the power conferences. The school presidents & BCS bowl fanboys and supporters of it are as credible as Romney's failed attempt to spin his 47% comment. Trying to get a very educated sports public to see their angle and bogus persuasion is so incredibly pompus and condencending, it's darn right aggravating. There's only one difference between the FBS schools that don't have a playoff system and the all the other lower division levels that play college football which do...the $$$, period! Well, probably one other thing, they're better students.../athletes.
 
I hope someday they do have a [I]legitimate[/I] (at least 16 teams) playoff for the FBS schools. The FBS schools that haven't earned a playoff spot, can go and play in the bowl games, treating those as a second tier thing, similar to the basketball teams that don't make it to the field of 68, but go onto the post-season NIT...
