Until there is a REAL playoff that includes ALL 10 conference champs and 6 at large teams this , just like the BCS is a giant fraud and an insult to college football fans everywhere.

[Know et al]

So, the 16 playoff teams will play up to 16 games per season to determine the NC?

Regardless it's a fraud because they are supposed to be student athletes.

If you want to get rid of the fraud entirely then the NFL needs to stand up a development league like the one that the MLB has.

And with all of the money to be made on broadcast rights and fantasy football and betting you know there is plenty of fraud with regard to illegal substance abuse, paying players under the table, game/score rigging, etc.

Just watch the games and enjoy them and be comforted in the fact that some players won't have to play a 17 game season in order to determine who's the best that year just to satisfy perfectionists.
