Here's my plan....

Divide the playoffs into regional contests between Conference Champions... ACC vs. SEC, Big East vs. Independents, PAC-10 vs. WAC. Big 12 vs. Big 10. Sun Belt vs. Mid-America. Conference USA vs. Mtn West.

Rotate these matchups every year to make in interesting, if you like.

Set the first round of these games up in late December in traditional bowl games. Single elimination tournament play every week until Early January, just before school starts again. May the best team win!

If that was the case the SEC would walk away wqith it every year.
