1AA and D1A are not really comparable

like i said, you'd have to incorporate a safety valve of including every conference, which is going full retard like CBB


It is really not hard at all. 11 team playoff only conference champions make it(CUSA and MWC merge to make only 10 conference + you make all the indys schedule each other highest ranked team makes it in).

Play in game between 2 lowest ranked teams then a basic 10 team playoff. play in winner and next 3 lowest ranked teams play and form the 8 team playoff.

All games until semi finals are played at higher seed's homefield

Last 3 games(semi finals and championship are nuetral games at rotating Fiesta Orange Sugar and Rose)

And all ratings are done with a basic unbiased formula. win % + .5(opps win%) add a win to all teams played on the road. Have some kind of committee that decides what is neutral and what is on the road. For example Boise playing Virginia Tech in DC counts as a road game for Boise

hope that makes sense

there is nothing "Basic" about a 10 team playoff, and 10 teams is waaaayyyy too many

plus it is illogical. you're giving entitlements to conference champs of shite conferences and leaving out much better teams from superior conferences who didn't win the title. what is the fricking point if teh best teams don't get in?

so all wins are created equal?

you're going to overrate teh frick out of non-BCS teams who play nobodies with decent records against other nobodies

that makes NO sense whatsoever. home is home. away is away. neutral is neutral.

Boise agreed to play in DC. they shouldn't benefit from that choice

I would geaux in a slightly different direction. If you win your conference but you suck, you don't get in. That applies to not only the Sun Belt, but also teams like UConn in 2010.

I'd also let a wild card in. That takes care of the indys, gets ND (and therefore NBC) on board, and it expands the pool of meaningful games. If your conference is essentially wrapped up, you're playing for seeding or a wild card slot.

I would either take the top 7 conference champs plus one wild card, or all ranked conference champs and fill the field out with wild cards.

If you have a 12-team playoff, 5-8 get first round home games and 1-4 get byes plus second round home games. If you have an 8-team playoff, 1-4 get first round home games.
