I already said I'll give you Miami in 2000.

A playoff in 2007 would have left out Kansas and Missouri so there would be no difference. #2 Kansas played #3 Missouri in the regular season finale. Kansas lost and then Missouri lost in the Big 12 Championship to Oklahoma. Kansas wasn't ranked to start the season yet they were ranked 2nd going into their last regular season game. I think they did just fine even though they were unranked in the preseason. Again there was no definitive best team in 2007 and not even a playoff would have helped.

Kicking is part of football. Here's what you're not getting: Alabama was the best team in college football in 2011. Can you honestly say they weren't?

A playoff would have just as many flaws. How many times does the best team win in college basketball? I love the the NCAA tournament for basketball. It is the greatest postseason tournament in all of sports. Marsh is right in saying that the upsets and Cinderella's are what make sports so great. I completely agree. A playoff in football would be fun. Rooting for upsets and Cinderella's would be great, but that doesn't mean the best team will win.

The point is the BCS put #1 vs. #2. You might not get that in a playoff.
