Re: The way the college football post season should look
I would love 8 or even 16 teams. The excitement for even those first round games would be out of this world. And I really don't see any reason why you couldn't still have the other bowls still being played outside of the playoff. I mean, is the freaking Outback Bowl isn't going to be less significant b/c there is an 8 team playoff going on as well. It is still better than going to no bowl at all, the school still gets money, the kids get a trip, city gets $$ etc. Rotate the 8 team playoff through what are now the BCS bowls or even give the highest seeds home field in the first round. There are so many ways to do this but the bottom line is that more interest would be generated for every bowl associated with the playoff and the others would remain constant. If the Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl were semifinals this year they would bring in more $$$ easily.
