Why is that "malarkey"? Would you prefer they make up criteria? It is what it is.

One of the old NCAA games had the option for a playoff. I think it might have been NCAA Gamebreaker 99 or NCAA Football 99 but I'm not sure. It was on the original Playstation and I remember having the option to select a playoff or BCS before starting a season.

older EA Football games had playoffs, up to ncaa 2001.
Gamebreaker also had optional playoffs.

Its a big deal now because in the dynasty mode, we will be stuck playing the BCS for the entire dynasty, when in reality, it will only be around for one more year.

It would make the most sense to make it so the top 4 teams in the final AP polls make the playoffs. its simple. There isnt much else to it, because that basically what its gonna be like in real life.

You could do that but if that's not how selections are going to made then people would complain that it wasn't right. The other piece to figure out is how the bowl games that get the first round of playoffs will be rotated and picking the national championship game site.

I would have liked a generic playoff like you suggested, but the NCAA/BCS may not have allowed that option. It won't effect me enjoying the game. Gameplay determines that one.

That was 15 years ago and two system generations ago. I have no idea why people would expect this when the system doesnt go into effect until next year.

They don't have it all set in stone in real life in the first place, so why don't you just go cry about it.
