The BCS was better than the previous system, and the 4 team playoff is better than the BCS. An 8 team playoff would be ideal for football, though 16 would be sweet. More "meaningful" football is OK by me. The bowl games are just NIT invites. I don't know why its so difficult to admit football's postseason has been a giant crock for decades, other than the fact that Alabama has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of it. Would have loved if UK could skip all those pesky NCAA games and just get sent to the title game. We'd have a hell of a lot more titles.

Yes, it's still a very faulty system and, no, the best team will not always be picked to participate in the 4-team playoff. However, last year Alabama, and Ohio State the year before had to face a broader challenge on the post season field at least.
Clearly Bama was, by far, the best of the four last year. That's much more credible than saying the Crimson Tide was, by far, the best of the two when they played Notre Dame.
The implication was that Notre Dame was the second best team in the nation. That's just lunacy. If the Irish had beaten two or three teams in a playoff and then had gotten humiliated by Bama, they might have had a claim.
But then think what that would have said about Bama. They would have gone down in history as one of the greatest teams of all time, inarguably so.
