But anyway, I don't think you can say a #9 team has any more beef. Look at Hawaii last year (?)--undefeated, in the BCS, and got totally smoked in the Sugar Bowl.

If you believe this (and I happen to agree), there isn't much reason for a playoff either.

Sure, there going to be arguments over who are the 8, but as TM points out, make the top 5 or top 3 and get in--that's usually where the debate is anyway. This is a pretty rare year where there are at least 5 teams that could claim to be #1 (2 BCS, texas--beat OK, USC-one road loss in Sept., Penn St.--one point loss on road)

But these are the arguments that the regular season exists to settle. Really, we are talking about which of the which of the champions of the SEC, Big Ten, PAC Ten and Big Twelve should be playing for the championship. I just don't see the injustice two of them being left out of the big bowl.
