Get Rid Of The Bcs, Already!

The vast majority of college football fans seem to agree that the BCS system has got to go. College football has the most exciting regular season, in which every game is critical, and the worst playoff system, in which an undefeated team might not even get a chance to play for the national title. College basketball, on the other hand, is the exact opposite; regular season games have virtually not important at all, except for the bubble teams- and those teams are not likely to win the national championship, anyway. The postseason in college basketball, however, is the most exciting tournament in American sports.The reason why the NCAA has not implemented a college football playoff system, from what I have heard, is that there is too much money that would be given up because of the huge sponsorship money that is poured into each of the bowl games. But the solution, to me, seems simple: keep the four big BCS bowl games: the Orange, Fiesta, Rose, and Sugar- and have the winners of these four bowls play a four-team tournament for the national championship. That way, you keep the sponsorship money and the tradition that is derived from the bowl games, but then you just add a few extra games at the end of the season in order to find the undisputed national champion. Adding three extra games at the end of the season can't possible be a bad financial move for the NCAA, can it? And if it is not, what other reason is there to prevent the implementation of this new system?
