For the BCS, “Playoff” No Longer a Dirty Word
For years, fans—right up to the president of the United States—have been arguing about the justice (and injustice) of the Bowl Championship Series.
Playoff was the forbidden “p” word. Well, now commissioners say they’ve agreed to start using it.

Sports Illustrated says falling back to the old way is a long shot. Rick Reilly of ESPN rejoices.
