The college football playoff debate was a very hot topic of discussion, concerning college football in the United States, among fans, journalist conference representatives, government officials, university administrators, coaches, and players concerning whether or not the current postseason format of the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) should be changed or modified. Playoff proponents had argued that a bracket-style playoff championship should replace the Bowl Championship Series, while others advocated for a Plus-one format, which would have created a single national championship game with participants selected after the conclusion of the traditional bowl season. This debate has been going for since at least 1971. The BCS system was established prior to the 1998 NCAA Division I-A football season to select two colleges to compete for college football's FBS division (formerly division I-A) national championship. There have been numerous controversies about the teams that should play for the college football national championship. Several polls did show significant support among college football fans for a playoff to replace the BCS. In 2012, the Commissioners of the BCS announced that a four team College Football Playoff would replace the BCS following the 2013-14 college football season. ==For a playoff== Playoff proponents argue against the internal validity of the BCS National Championship and lament that the participants of the BCS National Championship game are decided based upon coaches' and media polls rather than via previous, on-field competition such as the case with head-to-head, bracket-style tournaments in other major sports and levels of college football. Proponents occasionally accuse the Bowl Championship Series of financial conflict with respect to the money earned in bowl games and the allocation of those resources. Barack Obama has spoken out in favor of a playoff, before and after the 2008 U.S. presidential election. On November 18, 2008, in Obama's first interview as president-elect, Steve Kroft of ''60 Minutes'' ended the interview with a question about the topic. Obama replied: I think any sensible person would say that if you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner that we should be creating a playoff system. Eight teams. That would be three rounds, to determine a national champion. It would add three extra weeks to the season. You could trim back on the regular season. I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I'm gonna throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「College football playoff debate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
