[QUOTE="BZuppke, post: 1363630, member: 12358"] Well we bowl tie in guys predicted the 4 team playoff wouldn’t satisfy the insatiable. So with an 8 team playoff (which every college president will veto), you have all 5 power conference champs in. First, there are times a conference champ is 8-4. So how does that team merit over the 10-2 third place team from another conference? Additionally would Wisky and tOSU both get in this year? PSU and tOSU last year? You’re adding more teams but numbers 9,10 and 11 will still !!!!!. So to me, knowing that if you win the B1G championship you go to the Rose Bowl is a more satisfying outcome than being an also ran in a BS playoff. Which do Illini fans talk about/cherish most? The 2001 Sugar Bowl or going to the Rose Bowl in 2008? We’ve given up a guaranteed Rose Bowl - the greatest bowl of all, for a chance to participate in a BS playoff. I couldn’t care less which cheating, slimey SEC team wins on Monday. It means nothing. Come home with a Rose Bowl championship and it stands forever. [/QUOTE]
