How should teams be selected and seeded for a playoff?

By the AP poll.
  5%

By the coaches poll.
  4%

By something like the current BCS computer rankings.
  40%

A panel, like the basketball tournament selection panel, should pick using all means possible.

What role would the bowls play in a playoff?

All playoff games, including the title game, would be bowl games.
  54%

All playoff games, except the title game, would be bowl games.
  19%

The best teams will play in the bowls, but all playoff games come after the bowls.

None. The bowls would be a consolation for those who don't make the playoffs.

How important are traditional bowl pairings (the Big Ten vs. the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl, for example)?

Very important. Let's go back to the way we paired teams before the BCS came along.
  13%

Not that important.
  21%

Forget the traditions. Any team should be able to play in any bowl in a playoff system.

A playoff could disrupt schedules for student-athletes. Does that concern you?

Not at all. Doesn't seem to bother the lower divisions.
  52%

A little, but a few weeks extra shouldn't hurt too much.
  30%

No way the season should go any longer than the current bowl season.
  18%

When should a playoff be completed?

In late-November/ early December, shortly after the regular season.
  30%

By mid-January, but before the Super Bowl.
  65%

However long it takes.

Should winning a conference championship have a bearing in the selection and/or seeding of teams for a playoff?

Sure. Any legitimate league champ should be in the playoffs.
  21%

Yes, unless a team doesn't rank highly enough.
  19%

Yes, but only for the top six -- the Pac-10, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC and Big East.
  21%

No. Take the best teams regardless of whether they've won a conference title.
