Most fans don't have the disposable income to travel to three or four playoff games all over the country during the months of December/January so the reality is that very few fans would actually attend these playoff games.
The current bowl system isn't perfect (and neither is the BCS), but I don't think we'll ever see a full playoff system.

Good points. Besides, there already is pseudo playoff system for determining the National Champion in recent years...it's called the SEC
. I know "on any given day...", but imo, if a lot of these "other" contenders had to play other SEC teams week-after-week during the regular season...they still wouldn't be playing for the trophy. It is all about the money...always has been, always will be
