What we might see in a playoff, something that could easily happen yet people don't want to think about, is in a playoff, you might have no teams from the SEC in the championship. This is something we have no way of knowing, but I sure wish it was settled on the field.

As for teams in the future, you better watch out for USC in a couple of years. There recruiting is through the roof lately. They had 13 future players in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl including a stud quarterback.

The 6 teams I mentioned had a pre-bowl record of 69-12. 8 of the 12 losses were to other SEC teams. In a eight team playoff system the SEC bowl losses would not exist. As far as the future goes, Bama's OL and DL is socked full of younger players and no one can say they did not deliver this year. Think of the potential of what those young players can develop into besides what McCarron is capable of becoming in the next two years. Add in the DE and RB recruits and receiver Robert Foster that Saban has coming on line next year and the only thing that can slow Bama down is to start making them play on Sundays. On yeah, 16 of the 19 Bama Nat'l Championships were pre-BCS, so bring on the playoff system, it won't change a thing. By the way, how many ND players stayed on the ground for a while after a play. I don't think I would tick off either line by intentionaly hurting McCarron. Here's what can happen to you, Alabama @ Missouri 2012 Football - Bama Player body slams Mizzou Player - YouTube And that's with a 32 point lead.

As of now, there are three levels of NCAA Div 1 football 1. Alabama 2. SEC 3. Everyone else
