The commissioners of the 6 BCS conferences, as well as the Athletic Director of Notre Dame, decided against a plus one playoff system to determine college football's national champion. Only the commissioners of the ACC and SEC were for the proposal, everyone else was vehemently against it.
So that's 7 more years with no clear national champion. By my estimates, that's about 5 teams that will deserve a shot but get snubbed. Approximately 3 teams that won't deserve a shot but will get one. And maybe, if we're lucky, one game between a clear #1 and a clear #2.
College football is also adding two more bowl games, bringing the total to 34. The Congressional Bowl will be played in Washington, DC between Navy and an ACC team. The St. Petersburg Bowl will be played at Tropicana Field between a Big East team and a C-USA side. I guess 32 bowls (about 24 of which are meaningless) just wasn't enough
I love the game of college football, but despise how it's run. The only major sport that's run with more sleaze, more backroom deals, more confusion, more disarray, is boxing.
