[Husker] The fed bringing the hear on the BCS

[j j]

90% of the bowls are meaningless anyway so why couldnt the teams that dont make the playoffs still go to those bowl games? What would change for those bowls or those teams?

Put yourself in the position of a player. What would you like to do at the end of the season... stay home, or go to a bowl game? 

Depending upon the playoff format, it's doubtful many of the bowls will survive. People say they could accommodate both, but those people aren't the ones who will be paying for TV contracts and providing money to make the bowls happen.

I like being able to argue over who is the best when multiple teams end up with the same best win-loss record. And it's also possible that the best team doesn't have the best record because they started out poorly. That make a good argument too! IMO Tournaments are WAY overrated.

I'm all for anyone doing anything to get rid of the BCS and install a real tournament.  The White House can bring it on and I'm on their side.
