re: College Football Needs This Playoff System

Here is how this plan would have looked for the past six seasons. The teams numbered above eight would have been left out but had some kind of case. Champ is if they won a BCS conference. Let me know if you see any mistakes.

2009

1 Alabama 13-0 1 Y
2 Texas 13-0 2 Y

If system was in place, I think the voters would look at the situation and vote up Boise or TCU if necessary. For instance, Wisconsin would have been passed by Boise in 2006.

We need to move power away from the pollsters and computer polls that are determining who plays in the title game. This is preposterous. It is a joke. And potentially corrupt. Granted, in my system, the BCS ranking will still be used to determine the at-large teams, in addition to seedings. But the BCS poll will not get to decide the two teams that will play for the title, like is the case today. What we currently have is a complete joke of a system.

Exactly freaking right.

I think the best way is to incorporate a few "play-in" games the same weekend as the conference championships.

For example, this year Boise St might play the PAC10 regular season champ and TCU might play the BigTen regular season champ. That eliminates at least two possible contenders.

It keeps the bowl structure in place so the pro-bowl crowd doesn't object as much.
