There has been a lot of talk recently about a college football playoff. It was, in part, sparked by the great run that Utah had, followed by the victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Mountain West Conference followed this season up with challenges to the system and the offering of a new BCS selection format proposal. Congress also got involved and put additional pressure on the BCS. In addition, public pressure has increased and the BCS is under constant fire.
So what will the result of all this pressure be? Nothing, at least not right now. It may play out more in the future, but if the money keeps flowing to the BCS conferences, then it is unlikely that they will ever receive enough pressure to make changes. Especially, considering the other problems with instituting a playoff, including the impact to other bowls and the potential lessening of the regular season's importance.
