So if Uncle Sam wants his cut of the deal, what does this mean to the Bowl Championship Series? Will the BCS collapse? Playoff Solution, a site that was created earlier this month, has a plan for a 10-team playoff — a hybrid system, if you will — that incorporates the bowl games. According to the site, "You will find that the hybrid system takes the pros of both systems and leaves the cons behind."
