The Future of College Football

"Mountain West, Boise State rise



• The Mountain West Conference, which includes TCU, continues its consistent play and achieves the performance criteria to earn an annual automatic spot in a BCS game, leaving one fewer at-large position for teams from the six current automatic-bid leagues.



• Boise State completes the sport's most improbable rise from obscurity, becoming a consistent BCS bowl participant and winning a national title. The championship run could happen as soon as next season when the Broncos are scheduled to return 21 starters and could start ranked in the top five."

"Fans have an insatiable appetite for more: more games, more football, more teams in the BCS, or some kind of playoff. But the stewards of the game know that a tree doesn't grow to the sky. There is a ceiling of reality, and if we're not at that ceiling, we're very close."



Funny, but it's already being done successfully in football at all other levels. "The stewards of the game" means the protectors of the BCS strangle hold. There are plenty of ways to accomplish a fair playoff system without harming the bowl system ( they have already changed it dramatically to accommodate the BcS system). The only thing that would be endangered is the illegal monopoly. The above paragraph is just as much liberal smokescreen as Harry Reed's calling the health care bribery scandal a "compromise."
