Yeah, I remember that excuse. When they made that claim they should have been smart enough to realize that if that was the true reason why there's no playoff system, then why the hell does the three other NCAA football divisions, along with other NCAA sports, have playoffs? That was just a stupid claim. Anyone can see that the main thing holding Division 1-A football from getting a playoff system is money. I mean, just look at all the money that's being made from the shitty BCS set up. You have one championship game, along with four "semi-championships", and twenty-seven other post-season bowl games. Sixty-four total teams. Nineteen of those games have payouts of million+ to the winners. Throw that in with all the other things you mentioned that money is made off of during the bowl games and it's quite obvious to see why we have the fucked up BCS instead of a proper playoff system.
