I wish they would knee jerk react to the college playoff right after the final BCS results come out.

I think that would only seperate the good teams even further from the bad ones. Which is exactly opposite of what the NFL wants. They are all about parity. I know I don't want to see game lines where someone is favored by 20+ and the over unders reach 70+.
