As far as thinking beyond it, why? Ideally, the regular season should determine the champion. Since sports leagues have grown so big that there's now no way to clearly determine a champion in the regular season, you often need playoffs.
Unfortunately, most playoffs are just another season tacked on top of the original one. I don't want to see that happen in college football. Right now it's the only sport where every regular game matters. That's the way it should be.

Excellent points...but, when there are no undefeated teams, or 1 undefeated or like a few years ago...4 or 5 undefeated teams, then you have a problem.
This year as of right now, there are 5 undefeated teams...if all 5 remain that way, who should play for the BCS?
Plus, one bad game in the regular season from a otherwise great team...and your season is gone! Add in the power conferences like the SEC and well, it's even tougher (albeit the SEC has won the last 4 BCS championships!).
I do believe the regular season means something....for seeding to the ultimate game...the national championship!
