I would dismiss those with very high odds in favor of those with much shorter odds...give me a 9-3 team that plays six end ranked teams over an undefeated team that plays one team in the top 30...
I would probably take the 9-3 team too, but what do I know - I picked Oklahoma to beat Boise State in the Fiesta.

There are years a playoff might solve everything and there are years it might not. Same with the current PLAYOFF BCS system, with only two teams.
You are right about that, neither way will every solve the problem. You keep the current system and we all know those problems, go to another and create the same problems only further down the food chain. The big advantage to a playoff is more teams get to participate for the big prize (which I am not against). The big con for a playoff is that it will cost fans a bloody fortune trying to attend games, unless they regionalize the games. Then it would still suck playing football in the north in December. Not even teams that play in the north would like that - well except for Wisconsin - the cheeseheads lover the cold, wet, rainy weather. They have the antifreeze to keep the games fun.
