Ah. The un-American argument. Always a winner.
Except of course for the hundred plus years of college football tradition that undermines the argument.

There's one underlying motivation against a playoff: Money--the bowls want to keep it, the BCS wants to keep it, and the NCAA, including all the other teams, want to spread it more evenly.

As you implicitly admit, there is only one real motivation for a playoff too. Other conferences want more of the money, or to put it more accurately think they will occassionally be one of the eight teams selected to play in the playoff.
