All the bowls are basically played in a 10 day peroid from christmas through the new year. So you would have to get all of them to agree to change their dates around to fit the new playoff system, so it really wouldnt be the bowls anymore. They might be called the Liberty.. Holliday, etc bowls but they arent really, not anymore. And lets say you do get it all arranged, say a playoff game which happens to feature (for the sake of argument) Oregon vs Wisconsin. Why on earth would anyone at the Liberty Bowl care for that matchup? Who in Memphis is going to care? No offense to those schools but those arent exactly schools that travel really well. Not everyone can have LSU, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Penn State or other school that have large national followings and whos fans will go wherever the game is. Its about money which is why it wont work. Your never going to get everyone to agree. They had enough problems just getting the 4 BCS bowls to agree. Which is why if a playoff is ever created I believe it will be in the format I said earlier. The bowls dont care about a playoff, they just want to make money. The schools wont agree to a major overhall because it would affect the money alot of them can make for going to a bowl who dont really have a chance to win national titles.
