Could we get any more political?

It's money. Basically, the big schools can make more money under the current system of multiple meaningless bowls than they can in a limited 8 or 16 team playoff. This is especially true of the members of the big conferences whose champions get automatic BCS bids no matter how good they actually are. By the same token, the opposition is being spearheaded by the representatives of states whose schools belong to conferences that hardly ever get bids to BCS bowls because of the way the deck is stacked.
