I have been thinking about how to resolve the playoff bowl controversy in NCAA football. I like the bowl system, but am sympathetic to the plight of non-BCS teams that deserve a shot like Boise State and TCU. Here is my plan:
6 BCS Conference get automatic bids--Pac 10, Big East, SEC, Big 12, ACC, Big 10
Best of 3 Independents if over 8 wins, Sun Belt, WAC, MAC, Mountain West, Conference USA, and 2-3 highest ranked at large teams playoff. These games will be played regionally.
Week 1--Dec 12
North--MAC v. Ind/At-large--@ Detroit (Little Ceasars bowl)
West--MWC v. WAC--in Alb, NM as the New Mexico Bowl
East--Conf. USA v. At-Large--@ St. Petersburg
South--Sun Belt v. At-Large--@ New Orleans (r and l carriers bowl)
Week 2--Dec 19
South v. East @ Eagle Bank Bowl @ DC
West v. North @ Las Vegas Bowl
OR
Seed these teams for 10 Team BCS games
AND
Seed remaining two teams after game for 8 team BCS
Why do this?
For Mid-Majors--Allows two weeks for mid-majors to climb in bcs rankings through games with stronger competition. Make more money through winning for your program.
For Bowl people--let your bowl games mean something!
For Independents--you will have at least one automatic bid out of three teams
For Conferences--Will not have to argue for your conference favorite vs. mid major schools. Will allow your second place conference team to prove itself and play in verses quality competition. Will allow second place team in conference to add money to its program
What this would look like today
BCS--Cincinatti, Iowa, USC, Florida/Alabama, Texas, Georgia Tech
Play in games--Dec 12
TCU v. Boise State
Central Michigan v Notre Dame
La-Monroe v Miami
Tulsa v Alabama/Florida
Dec 19
la-monroe/miami v. tulsa/alabama/florida winner
Central/ND v. tcu/boise state
