Penn State head coach Joe Paterno said Thursday that he's tired of all the "bogus excuses" that those against a college playoff continually use to justify their stance.

Commentary: "To be frank with you, I don't know what the reasons are not to have a playoff," Paterno said during a speaking appearance in Pittsburgh. "You can talk about missing class and all that kind of stuff, [yet] you see basketball go on forever. You have a lot of bogus excuses, but obviously the majority of people who have the say don't want it."

Beyond that, Paterno also noted another thing he has a problem with -- the fact that coaches are required to vote for the winner of the BCS title game in the final voting for national champion. After all, if you have to vote for a particular team, then it's not really a vote, is it?

Not according to one of the greatest college football coaches of all time.
