not altogether sure if it was actually him who drew it up, but that's irrelevant.

i like it, and it sounds perfect, actually.

what say you?

he never mentioned that each conference would have to play a conf champ game which would have to happen in his proposal

So after going 13-0, winning the toughest conference in football, beating the PAC 12 champion, Big East Champion, beating 3 top 5 teams, we would then need to prove ourselves all over again by winning 2 more games in a tournament. No thanks.

I think 6 is too many, 4 would be enough.

not bad, not sure I like the bye though, this would only be an advantage, IMO, is if the first games were immediately following the season

How? It is the best playoff scenario. #1 and #2 deserve the bye. No bye with an 8 team playoff.

No way teams a play a 12 or 13-game regular season if playoffs are instituted. That would be ridiculous.

1 and 2 were determined with an opinion.

you need a 16 team playoff. all 12 conferences have an automatic bid with a conf. champ. 4 at large bids being the highest ranking in the bcs minuse the conference champs.

that way every game counts.

With realignment...Have all Conferences play a championship game. Take all the conference champions and put them in a playoff. If you still want to rank them...Top 2 teams get a bye.

HOLY frickING shite

in the first page of this thread it's gone from 6 to 8 to 16. this is why playoffs fricking suck. they just get bigger, with more worthless teams getting invites with a chance to frick it up

4 teams via BCS-like ratings or keep the BCS as it is

8 team playoff sounds better, everyone will bitch who gets a bye and how it should be settle who gets a bye. If you go undefeted in the PAC 10 pussies and dont have a legit out of conference schedule do u get a first round bye?

Exactly

No matter the format, some team is gonna bitch about being left out

4 team playoff - teams 5 and 6 will complain

8 team playoff - teams 9 and 10 will complain

Etc, etc
