Roy Kramer talking about needless games played, unbelievable. The guy invented SECCG and couldn't figure out how to actually get the 2 best teams to play each other. Talk about a money grab.

The Conference Championships are tits on a bull. The 12 team playoff would only be following a long-held tradition.

You mean the BCS? I actually didn't have a big problem with it.

I think they just needed to open up their algorithms for scrutiny and adjustment, but chose not to.

It mostly sort of confirms "eye-test" rankings anyway, but has an interesting way of revealing over-performing teams that might not otherwise get noticed.

I would be curious to see a larger playoff field selected by the BCS formula, without regard to conference auto-bids or affiliation. That is, if there are five SEC teams in a field of 12 (because they're the best teams), so be it.
