So we can count on one hand the number of quality bowl match-ups out of the 35 or so bowls in existence today. There’s Notre Dame vs. Alabama, Oregon vs. KSU in the Fiesta, OU vs. Texas A&M in the Cotton, LSU vs. Clemson in the Chick-fil-A, and Michigan vs. South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. The irony here is that only two of the five “good” games are in the BCS series. Wait wasn’t the BCS formed to get us the five best match-ups? This shows the true failure of the BCS, and while there’s a new four-team playoff system coming in 2014, it doesn’t change the systemic flaws that de-values the postseason. The most often used excuse against a comprehensive playoff is that it will de-value the regular season. Well, you’d rather have a completely dysfunctional and worthless postseason? Not me. Only a 16 team playoff will work. You need enough spots to give the mid-majors access to the NCAA title, give each major conference an automatic qualifier, and give all teams in the Top 10 a shot at the title.
