you could always run the first two rounds in the weeks following the conference championship games, freeing up 12 of the 16 to play in bowls

24 team bracket just like the lower division. All conference champions receive automatic playoff bids. I believe this comes out to 11. Pick 13 at - large teams. Top 8 seeds draw a bye in the 1st rd. Use the BCS format for seeding purposes. Schools like Boise St and TCU would have no complaints. We would then see how good they really are. Cinderella could also wear the slipper. If we think March Madness is big, how big would this be????? Still keep your bowl games. Use the BCS Bowls as the QF, SF, and Finals sites and rotate. Would need to add perhaps the Cotton Bowl, Georgia Dome, and one of the Florida Bowl sites. If the FCS can do it, we sure as heck can. I honestly don't think the President's of the universities are smart enough and fail to realize the revenue generated from a playoff system. It's all about money for them!!!

Isn't this a much better system,
yes. it has to be a 16 team playoff to allow all the conferences to have an aq by winning their respective conference. you would then have five at large bids. that would mean that every game in the regular season counts because, in order to get one of those five spots, you would need to finish the fifth highest in the bcs. so, if you loose a game to let's say mcneese, then you're fricked unless you win your conference.
also, if you don't give the sunbelt, mac, wac, etc.... an aq, then how in the hell will they be able to recruit? the answer is "they won't".

the same way they recruit now
why would you want to lower the standards of the system to include the lowest common denominator?
that is the opposite of what you want to do

i almost went this far, but i'm resisting
i will say this
how many times do you think the sunbelt, mac, and CUSA truly complain about not getting a title shot?
i can think of 2 possible examples in the BCS era. 1998 tulane (undefeated) and 2004 louisville (only lost once, at miami when that meant something, and their starting QB got hurt in the 2nd half)
even hawaii wasn't bitching in 2007 pre-bowls
it's essentially TCU and Boise, and TCU has never finished the entire season with an argument...so it's just Boise, and it's only 2 years (2006, 2009). nobody will argue Utah in 2004 or 2008 really
do people really want to completely frick up the system and lower everything to take that into account?
and i'm only talking about conference AQ for playoffs. not the concept of playoffs in general
we're talking 4ish teams out of 80+ participants (assuming 8-team playoff. it gets worse if we use 16 teams per year) in the BCS era. that's less than 5%

No more than 8 teams.
Outside of the fan base, the postseason debate is about who has the money in the bowl system and who's going to be getting the money in a playoff system.
The ACC & Big East would never agree to potentially forfeiting BCS slots, which would lose each conference about $17 million.

Do you realise how much the travel costs would be for teams to travel to multiple bowl games? You're talking about 5 rounds of games. Fans are not going to buy tickets, take off work, and travel to more than 1 bowl game.
The only way a playoff works with more than 4 teams is if some of the games are played at a home field.

you're thinking about the present. sixty years ago army was the king of the field. sixty years from now, who knows, it might be Temple. you have to give every conference an equal opportunity.

Agreed.

i don't have any real reason for my sentiments... i just want to see the small schools suffer. i might be the more sinister side of SFP.
some of the non-BCS schools that can't draw are already far into my plan... i want to see them all die off lol

That's too many undeserving teams with a chance to win at all. There should be an eight or at the very most, 12 team playoff with NO automatic bids.

Death to the BCS
You guys should read it. They go very in depth about why a 16 team playoff is best, and how corrupt the BCS system is.
