I don't know US College Football super well. but I agree the current system is mediocre. My understanding is that too much money is associated to the bowls to ditch them. So maybe do both ?

This is a myth. There is a lot of money associated with bowls, sure. But there's even MORE money that would be associated with a playoff. [/QUOTE]

No, and we already have a Nat'l Championship game, even if you don't like it. There'd be no extra revenue, and a high likelihood of less.

Exactly. More games = more money.

With a 16-team playoff, there's 15 games. Less money.

playoff + other post season.

Also, "more money" means more for teams that produce, but less for those who currently skate into BCS games on reputation. The Major conferences have to love the BCS, because they have guaranteed spots in teh big money games, and the at-large spots go overwhelmingly to BCS schools (post season money does not go 100% to the team in the bowl, a LARGE portion of it goes to the conference and is divided). In a playoff, the conferences are not guaranteed any of the big money at the top of the heap. They'll get most of it over time, sure, but not as much as with a BCS system.
