That is about as stupid a response as I could expect. You believe what Archie Griffin thinks has any bearing on what some WAC school thinks? Uh, not likely...

If by field you meant rice field, I suppose you're right. Yet another blanket statement with nothing behind it.

How would it be any difference than it is now under the BCS regime? A team that low in a playoff scheme (last spot) that is maxed out is also out of the running under the BCS regime. So does that mean the BCS makes the regular season less meaningful?

Again, why would this be any different than it is now?

Their regular season is less meaningful because it is so much longer. If college football had 162 games and then a BCS championship, the regular season games would be pretty meaningless. It isn't the presence of the BCS system that makes the regular season meaningful. It's the short length.

No, not necessarily.
