You already see this principle for bowl games. Why is it common knowledge that any time OSU is eligible for a BCS bowl they are going to get a bid, even if there are other teams who are "better"?Because they draw. With a playoff, you aren't certain that the best teams are also the best draws and that isn't going to be good for business.

...maybe because there isn't a need for one. I'm not even sure there's a need for the National Championship game. College football can still lend to the extension of the Universities without crowning a definitive National Championship.jordo212000;604142 wrote:...
