Re: A Playoff Solution For College Football
[ QUOTE ]
The bowls suck. Either eliminate them and come up with a real playoff (min 12 teams) like every other sport in the modern civilized world, or keep the crappy system in place. Seriously, if they eliminated the bowls in 15 years everyone would look back and laugh at the lunacy that used to exist.
There actually really only has to be some very minor tweaking to the system to make everyone happy. Institute the following rule:
-Play according to the previous bowl system prior to BCS
-National Championship is played two weekends after New Year's Day between teams #1 and 2 at a neutral site. Eureka!

What's your grand plan to overcome the obstacles I outlined with regards to a 6 - 8 team playoff, let alone a 12 team playoff?
And the prior system to the BCS is much worse than the system I propose, because the #3 or #4 team would routinely get screwed by not getting a shot to play the #1 or #2 in a bowl game, and thus would have no chance to make the title game. The top 4 teams would always get a shot at the title with my system, and get to decide the national championship on the field.
