Here's one for you - a playoff political action group - that is actively promoting a playoff! The ads are only running in three markets tonight before a few more run during Thursday's "title game".

WASHINGTON — A new political action committee plans to run ads this week touting a college football playoff system in the markets of two undefeated teams who were bypassed for the national championship.
Playoff PAC says it will run the 30-second ads in Dallas-Fort Worth and Boise, Idaho, into the homes of fans of TCU (12-0) and Boise State (13-0), who face off Monday night in the Fiesta Bowl. The ads also will run in Salt Lake City, where fans are still angry that undefeated Utah didn’t get to play in last season’s title game despite going undefeated.
The PAC plans to run the ads ahead of Thursday’s national championship game between Texas and Alabama.
The commercial shows highlights from TCU and Boise State, along with their unblemished records. It then plays a clip from the Dan Patrick Show, in which Bill Hancock, the executive director of the Bowl Championship Series, responds to a question about what he would tell an undefeated team that doesn’t get a chance to play for the title: “You guys had a great season,” adding, “not everybody can play” for the title game.
