re: Playoffs will have its own poll system ...

Wow, I can't believe some people are already saying the new system will be worse than the BCS. The major problem w/ the BCS was not having a clear cut top two teams. IMO it is clearly an improvement to go to four teams. A #5 who felt like they should have been #4 will likely have a weaker argument that someone who thought they should be #2. Even for people who favor an eight team playoff this is a step in the right direction.
