re: BCS vs NFL Playoffs

Unless people are going to make a playoff where you only get in if you win your conference it is a dumb system. We might as well keep the BCS the way it is.

The system would have to include at least the 6 major conference champions. The system has to allow mid majors to be involved.

So basically you can't have just a 6 team playoff with two teams getting a bye. The mid majors would then go crazy because they wouldn't feel they would get in. If you made a rule to allow one in the other big conferences would go ape shite.

So now we are to an 8 team playoff. Well you have the 6 major conference champions. Now what do you do about the other 2. Well if we use logic and respect conference champions. The second team in a given conference is no better than #2 in the country. So in my opinion I don't think they should have to eliminate a team twice in a tournament. I personally would use the BCS computers to seed the top 8 conference champions. Most people would be mad at the inclusion of the mid majors, but it can only be better for football. They would typically be the lower seeds in the playoff and would hardly ever win with the current situation of college football. It would become a war however in the mid major ranks to get into the playoff. I think it would increase the competitiveness of the other schools.

So when the playoff is done the winner is ranked #1 and the rest of the ballot is ranked; however the voter chooses. This could mean the top 3 are all SEC with the champion as #1 and the non playoff participants being #2 and #3. Everyone has a chance based on play on the field and it respects the regular season. The playoff committee would accept the conference champions and let the conferences figure out how they are decided. The conference is going to always strive to put its best team in. Their is no bias in the teams included in regards to the playoff committee.
