How do we replace the BCS and make a CFB playoff system equitable and work at the same time?

Yes the Big Ten would need to add a team (say maybe ND). As I understand you have to have 12 teams to have a championship game for your conference.

The idea means having the number of teams that would be placed in bowls to have a meet up via a bracket system, a modified version of the 64 teams in the March bracket system.

Of course there are some who would say the Big Ten does have a conference championship game. It’s called the Ohio State-Michigan game. LOL!

I think folks in Madison and Champaign would beg to differ.

****1 point for best cheerleaders...Well then you might as well hand the trophy over to Missouri.****

I dont know. Those Oregon cheerleaders were pretty impressive.

Just a crazy thought. I would like to see a soccer game played with an American football. Boing, boing, boing.

But whatever ideas, the BCS as we know of it now is becoming a joke, just look at this wild and crazy season.

Something about points, I think.

I think I’d like to see us go back to the old bowl system with just one extra national championship game for the top 2 rated teams after the bowl matchups.

I say do the following:

1) All conferences limit themselves to eleven games per season.
2) All conference with ten or twelve teams have a 12th game conference championship game.
3) Seed six conference champions plus two at-large teams into an eight-team two-tier playoff with seven bowl games becoming playoff games.

This would be a longer-term project. For the 2008-2010 seasons, go to a Plus One format matching BCS #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3, then a final championship game.

Your system sounds reasonable for the longer term. The top 4 BCS right now, however, would include #4 Georgia, and they are in second place in the SEC East. (I think the poll voters are giving the SEC credit they won’t afford to the Pac-10.)
