The Ability For A Playoff System in College Football

Over the past few years there has been a great argument over the deciding of a national champion in college football. Currently the system involves the use of multiple different avenues determined in the regular season to decide who will play in the national champion.  These avenues include a coaches poll, overall record and strength of schedule.  The other teams are then distributed to different games refereed to as bowl games which create much income for smaller schools who may not get as much income through out the regular season as others.  The argument against this system is for a playoff system which allows for teams to play to decide the national championship game instead of coaches polls and who you play through the year.  The current system demonstrates the greed involved within the NCAA.  Keeping the bowl system helps schools get more rich off of the players without having to compensate them in return.  If the major college football programs separated from the NCAA both of these problems would be fixed.  The schools could decide for themselves to have a playoff system, and since the smaller schools will not be involved to gain money from the bowls it will not be an issue.  In addition this will allow for the players to be compensated to the sacrifices they put on the field and the dedication they have to their team and willing them to make the play offs and a national championship game.
