I love all these elaborate plans and explanations of how the playoff should be run.  But they're a total waste of time and effort.  However much you may want to see it run the way you've outlined, the people who run the playoff don't.

The P5 will do everything it can to keep the present system without any changes for as long as it can.  If there was to be a true, fair championship set up, it would be done by the NCAA, who would get all the money from selling the TV rights as they do from CBS and its partners for the bball championship.  However the P5, and the G5 for that matter, are in no mood to surrender a dime to the NCAA following the [I]Regents of Georgia[/I] and [I]Regents of Oklahoma v. NCAA[/I] SCOTUS cases said they didn't have to give them the money for non-NCAA championship events.  Right now, the P5 gets the money from the playoff and the G5 gets $0.00.  They want to keep it that way.  Any set-up that brings in a G5 conference reduces the money going to the P5 conferences; [B]that's a non-starter[/B].  If there was a way for the P5 to take the money from bball away from the NCAA, they would do it in a nanosecond.
