The bowl system isn't going anywhere. There's just way too much money in it for the conferences and therefore, the schools. Plus, implementing a "true" playoff system will be a coordination and scheduling nightmare, though it certainly could be done.
I used to hate the current bowl system and the way its handled as well, but I've kind of learned to let go. In the end, it really does work...in a way. Not the best way, but in a way.
But its not really about all that for me, to be honest. I've just always loved college football. I grew up watching it and everyone I knew was either a huge ACC team fan or SEC team fan. It's really all about the atmosphere - there's NOTHING like going to a big college football game - absolutely nothing.
