Thoughts? This or a playoff?

Son of JayJamJah

I'd love an 8 team playoff.

11 game season
required conference championship game in BCS conferences
top two wild cards via combined poll average join the tournament
teams are seeded via poll average and the next six games are called the Cotton, Orange, Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Citrus rotating every year. The rest of the bowl games still exist and are played between the opening round and National title game.

I'd love an 8 team playoff as well, but in a NON-playoff system, the BCS is about the best we could do. Do people remember how terrible it was before the BCS?

I hate the BCS. Then again I'm probably just a bitter Michigan fan. 8 team playoff, please.

The dac solution to college football:

You currently have 119 teams in D1, bring up App State and put it at 120. Divide the 120 teams into 12 conferences of ten teams, dividing up the super power programs evenly between the conferences. Play a 12 game season, your 9 conference games plus 3 non conference games. Take the winner of each conference and put them into a 16 team playoff. Voters vote on the last 4 spots.

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II
US Ranked 4th

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

" Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland , France , Norway , Sweden , Denmark , Belgium and the Netherlands . Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories-- Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US ; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany 's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The BCS is not that bad, it's better then the old system, it's just not the best system.

Is there any fan who would not rather see an 8 team tournament featuring USC, Alabama, Florida, Penn State, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Boise State?

Rate them as the BCS has them

First Round

#1 Oklahoma vs. #8 Boise State - Fiesta Bowl

#2 Florida vs. #7 Penn State - Gator Bowl

#3 Texas vs. #6 Utah - Cotton Bowl

#4 Alabama vs. #5 USC - Orange Bowl

Semi-Finals

OU\BSU winner vs. Bama\USC Winner - Sugar Bowl

Fla\PSU winner vs. Texas\Utah winner - Orange Bowl

Finals

BCS Champioship Game


Everyone wins...it's so simple.

I'd rather see a 64 team playoff which would bring in huge revenue. Just cut the regular season back and replace it with the playoff. My plan is more detailed but I g2g so I'll post the rest later.

Too many games. Six games for some, One for others, a variance of 10 to 15 game seasons, a nine to ten game max regular season, that messes with history and tradition too much...Plus no way 64 teams deserve the right to compete. If #1 Oklahoma's Sam Bradford goes down in a 63-7 win over #64 Hawaii it ruins the tournament.
