Random perspectives from Cleveland

The BCS commissioner recently commented that a playoff system is not even one of the options that they will be discussing when they talk about BCS changes for next year. Why is it so hard for them to comprehend that a playoff is the solution that everyone wants? I suppose they are thinking that if a team goes on the road for 3 weeks then their fans won't be able to afford to travel to all of those places. That is the only possible thing that makes sense. For example, if Purdue was in the 8 team playoff and their first game was in Tampa. I might be able to go to that game, but if they win and end up in the Rose Bowl after that, I almost certainly wouldn't be able to go to that game. Assuming they win that one and then had to go to New Orleans for the national championship game, how many fans will be able to travel there? The fans would have to hope for the best, or just go to one game and forget the others. That would certainly cut down on the number of fans at each game.
