To really no one’s surprise, the BCS committee rejected a playoff system proposed by the Mountain West conference (a conference that annually fights an uphill battle in getting its teams selected for BCS bowl games). Said one BCS official: “The BCS is the best postseason arrangement that has ever existed in college football.” So what? Why does that apparently mean we cannot consider other options now? They say playoff proponents “share two intertwined and fatal deficiencies: They disrespect our academic calendars and they utterly lack a business plan.” Hear that, guys? There’s your mission!
