"I don't want to sniff a playoff. The bowl system is the best thing that college football has going for it. There's a reason why college football's popularity has never been bigger." — Matt Hayes, Sporting News, May 5, 2009

"For 100-plus years, it's been engrained in college football fans that every week matters, and that teams are judged on their season-long performance. The single most common argument college playoff advocates make is that: 'Every other sport does it.' What they never bother to consider is that perhaps there's a reason college football is different than those other sports." — Stewart Mandel, Sports Illustrated, January 22, 2009
