Apparently, the AP has told the NCAA to stop using it's poll as part of the BCS rankngs. (found via The Post Game)
I'm not sure how well this will hold up, but if it does, it could signal and end to the BCS, and the beginning of a playoff. A playoff could still use the Bowl sites for the games, but the playoff would be a much better option than the current system.
Now how do we make this happen? Auburn has to win big, and Oklahoma has to beat USC. Probably won't happen, but if it does and they go to a playoff, I see a new product: The Tourney Bowl Manager!
