"AND ONE...." LAME DODGE
Mr. BCS Bowl Chief Suit announced yesterday he was opposed to a playoff system (Be still my heart! Who knew?) but, in a fit of generous flexibility, he was NOT opposed to the "and one" system. This is the one where they would play the National Championship Game and then, a week later they would pick a team to play the Winner in a "Super Duper This Time I Really Mean It Championship Game".
OK just use this year as an example. Who would play Floriday in the "And One" game? If you Say Boise State, you punish LSU for their schedule. If you say LSU, you ignore Boise State's going undefeated and winning a BCS bowl game.
These BCS types are always saying they don't want to do anything to devalue the Bowl Games. Does anybody think a successful and interesting "and one" game would not water down even the big bowls? I've got some TWA stock you're gonna just love!

There is an easy way to utilize the bowls in a playoff scenario.
4 team playoff: Use two bowls as semi-finals (rotating two a year) and use another bowl a week later as the title game (rotating every four years). This way three of the four are used every year.
It's better than playing a second un-named game a week later.
And if the Rose Bowl doesn't like it...see ya. Use the Cotton Bowl when it moves to Jerry's new stadium in Arlington.
The Big Ten and Pac-10 would eventually fall in line.
I agree, the Four Team Playoff is workable and the "and 1" is a moving target.
I'm sorry I called you Finkelstein in a comment earlier. I confuse you for and another guy.
