NCAAF Playoff system?

The hot topic in NCAA is if the NCAA should do a playoff system to crown the next National Champion. Every other sport in the NCAA has some kind of a playoff system. They have the Final Four, Frozen Four, College World Series, and the Lacrosse Championships. Even President Obama believes that they should have some type of a playoff system.

If they do a playoff system this is how I believe it should work. The AP's top NINE would have automatic bids to the 'BCS Playoffs'. Then for the final spot would be decided on a wild card bid that two teams would play for. The reason why the top nine get automatic bids instead of the top ten because teams like Boise State or TCU (before people knew about them) would get an opportunity to play the #10 ranked LSU or Arkansas. This is the most fair way to do it. I do believe that the current BCS system is not the best system for NCCAF. If we look at the NCAAB, if they had the 'BCS System' then that would of meant that Ohio State and Kansas would have faced for the National Championship. But both of those teams didn't even make the Final Four! So why give the Championship to two powerhouses when some well coached, average team could win it all? Wouldn't that be better for the BCS? I'd think so. We all remember the Boise State vs Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl in 2007. Moments like these will last a life time if we have a playoff system.
