Myself, I'm rather ambivalent on the idea of playoffs. I don't really know what it would resolve. The idea that one can decide on which team is the best based upon one game is rather far fetched. Does any one really believe that USC, OU, or even AU are that much different? Any of those teams (and you could throw in a few more, maybe Texas for example) could beat any of the other teams. A couple of breaks one way or the other (like a dropped touchdown, a funky bounce of the ball, or a bad referee's call) and any of those teams could win the championship game. What, exactly, would that prove?

You're right. Playing the game won't decide anything. Much better to let the sportswriters vote on it.

While I appreciate your sarcasm, I think, I believe that the 'best team' does not always win. If that's true, then all national championship playoff will provide is good entertainment. Let me ask you this, do you really think that if Auburn played VaTech 10 times, Auburn would win each time?
