Although, it's not much of a playoff system, only the top 4 teams will be involved. We'll see how it shakes out.
I thought the final BCS Championship game was amazing. Great game! Auburn had FSU on the ropes...then the punt Fake and go ahead score for FSU. Heck of a 4th quarter. Amazing.

It's interesting to speculate who might have been invited if the playoff started this year instead of next. If you just took the top four in the BCS ranking, you would have had 3 conference champs - FSU, Auburn and Michigan State - plus at large Alabama (ahead of PAC 12 champ #5 Stanford and Big XII champ #6 Baylor). In hindsight, all three of them lost their bowl game, as did #7 Ohio State.
The next five in the BCS, #8 Missouri, #9 South Carolina, #10 Oregon, #11 Oklahoma and #12 Clemson all won their bowl games. You could make a good case that any team in the top 12 could have won a tournament that included all of them. FSU would still have been the favorite, but four teams just wouldn't have been enough to make the playoff much more than BCS v2.0 .

Tiz - I caught myself thinking the same thing, heckuva title game, sincere congrats to both teams.
Ken - I think and hope we will eventually have a 16-team playoff; no one can convince me, since money is already driving the bus anyway, that there wouldn't be potential for close to double the money currently available once we got to an officially sanctioned D-I college football championship. Think "December Delirium" to go along with "March Madness".
