Playoffs are necessary. Maryland, Illinois, and Oregon all lost only one game, won a big conference, and aren't gonna see roses. BYU only lost one game, and if they didn't lose against Hawaii, they would have good reason to be pissed, as they weren't even going to see a BCS game! I think we need a 16 team playoff, including the champions of the big 6 conferences, the winner of 2 of the following 4 conferences: WAC, Mountain West, Conference USA and MAC. The other 8 teams would be at large bids. This would get two of the smaller college teams available, and 14 other teams. The smaller colleges would then get a chance of winning it all, and wouldn't be punished because of the crappy conferences that they are in.
