Well he is right that it needs to be fixed first of all.

I would love for him to do a playoff with all the conference champions, but even that is very hard to do in this day and age. So top 8 would be good to me.

Also 0.0 chance anyone would ever do what you are saying with letting everyone in.

The guys in your pic would have the guts to tell me what they think Obama would do. If your gonna have Artie there you need to have the same b@llz and tell me what you think Obama would do. Come on Artie, put the drink down and let me have it ...

A CFB playoff for Div 1 cannot work. The reason is Div 1 football is about one thing and one thing only - money. The money they receive from the bowls funds not only football but all the other non revenue generating sports including Title 9 (or 8 or whatever it is). The byproduct of the BCS system is a national champion.
Everybody has ideas on how to run it (8 v 16 32 teams) but no one comes up with the business plan on how it works: who's gonna pay for the increased travel cost, how are tickets going to be distributed, etc... This isnt basketball where 8 teams are going to a 12,000 seat arena for a 2 day event. This is 60,000-100,000 fans. The more people involved, the harder it is to accomplish.
There are 120 Div 1 college football presidents. Not one has ever presented a business plan that shows a playoff format will make as much if not more than the current situation. Until someone can guarantee it will make more money, you'll never see a playoff.

Any who..... Obama would recommend that all conference champions be included in the playoff.

Obama would force expansion and have conference championship games.

I would be behind this as long we keep the different divisions (Divison 1, 2, etc.). Force Big 10 and Pac 10 to play a championship game would make me happy.

I did say early what I thought would happen. 4 to 8 playoff or a +1 at the most.

I heard Barack Obama was alleged to be as old as time and a incarnation of evil, as he is seen in many paintings and glyphs around the world in ancient times, even to personally have crucified Jesus and contributed to the rise of Nazi Germany. Although he does claim to be that old, he does not admit to the atrocities he is accused of. He also is said to run a secret shadow government which grows and harvests sheriffs and has before used his sheriff army to vote on a law that would allow his beer products to be sold on Sunday. He apparently also has been advised by demonic voices, and is known to be in possession of the Necronomicon as well as a bottle of holy water for emergencies in the event of the Rapture.

It would force the Pac 10, Little 11 and Big East to expand.

This thread was a pretty entertaining read with back and forth political banter followed by Ihatethebuckeyes begging for people to answer the actual question.

I think all that would happen is they would force a playoff with all the D-1 conference champions included. Everything else would be up to the NCAA, including how at-large bids get allocated. If the WAC has their champion in the playoffs they shouldn't be able to complain about unfairness, although they still will. It would probably have to be 16 teams just to fit all the conference champs in.

The real disaster of this would be the times when the 4th best team in a conference makes it into the conference championship game (b/c their division sucks) and then somehow wins. So you'd have an 8-5 team getting into a 16 team field while tons of ranked teams are left home.

The other downside would be when a major school drops a game early in the year everyone just yawns and says as long as they win out they still get into the playoffs. The first loss drama would be gone.

I'm going to go outside the current topics and say let the bowl system continue. Playoffs would be a nice dream but I much perfer the Bowl System. While the BCS has some major flaws in its design of fairness, which I wouldnt mind getting rid of automatic bids, it has given us probally the best football teams in the championship game the last several years. The only problem I see with a playoffs is it will end up like the NCAA b-ball tournament with teams complaining they dont go so it'll be expanded and expanded and eventually you'll have everyone with a .500 record in the tournament and it just dilutes the field. Let the kids play football and goto their bowl games. Its how Division I football has been playing it for some 90 years now, why change it to a playoffs. (and I know that the bowl system has expanded from the original few bowls but still I like the bowl games)

Short answer:

I think the BCS is garbage (yet admit it is better than what we had). Having said that, the only thing worse would be the government forcing a playoff. The government has better things to do, like force health care reform that the vast majority of Americans do not want.

I would love to force teams like BSU into a real conference and ND to lose its Indie status. That said not going to happen:sad:.

I agree that the Indie status needs to go. Its a joke and not fair to other teams.

Now how do you think OBAMA would handled it?
