I know we shouldn't say never, but the biggest reason why a playoff won't happen anytime soon is simply $$$. Too much involved in the bowl games with the cities and tv.
I agree that Boise St couldn't compete with the big boys night in and night out, but I also believe that if a Division I school goes undefeated, wins their conference, and wins a BCS bowl, they should have consideration for the title. I don't care what conference they are in, eventually there will be a game in which they have to play with the big boys and they did and won. I realize it's not basketball, but I'm sure a few of us remember a certain Villanova team that had absolutely no business even being on the same court as the Ewing led Hoyas. Well they did that night. Or a USA Hockey team that did believe in miracles and produced one. That is the beauty of amateur athletics. When given a chance, legends are made of true underdogs.
