The BCS is dead...and soon so will the only compelling regular season in college football. All these morons that want to NFL-ize or NBA-ize college football are just about to kill it.
You playoff expansionistas realize one of the greatest games in the 100+ years of college football - the 2013 "Got A Sec, Nick" Iron Bowl - would have meant nothing under an 8 team format. In fact, you are pushing the sport to a situation where a coach of a team in the top 3 will pull starters after a quarter or so to avoid injuries. Can you imagine the secondguessing that will go on if say, a Nick Saban plays AJ all game in the IB and he gets his knee wrecked in the 4th quarter? Or if Gus plays Nick Marshall and Robinson at LT in the SECCG and they get hurt?
We are rapidly approaching the day when tradiotional games in the last week (OSU/Mich, Iron Bowl, FSU/UF, etc) or the conference championships have all the appeal of the slate of Week 16 & 17 NFL matchups.
But, by all means, let's get rid of the BCS. I mean, it only did it's job extremely well for a long time.

I miss it already.
I don't care what anybody says, the BCS did wonders for college football.

College football's postseason is the least compelling. I'm fine with enhancing the postseason at the expense of the regular season.

That's not true. It would always at the very least impact seeding, and it has the potential to decide if one team or the other makes the playoff as well. Moreover, it decided who got to play for the conference championship, and being conference champs will ostensibly be weighed into the selection process, especially if decided by a conf championship game.

yeah like how the Celtics-Lakers, Red Sox-Yankees and Barcelona-Real Madrid have no appeal since the entire season's post season usually doesn't depend on it.
College Football was being hurt by the BCS as it resulted in conference split ups and ending established rivalries (which I hope we can reestablish in the new world order.

Alabama fans have been insisting the game meant nothing ever since the game ended.

I'm in the minority that agrees 100% with you.
