Playoff system would solve the problem

This is the only way to do it; anyone crying "we got left out" or "unfair" would have no justification whatsoever.

i see what you did there

they've have the same logic as teams 3, 4, 5, etc in the current system

over my head

playoff systems dont build new academic centers, practice facilities, or upgrade stadiums..

You don't think that hosting up to three additional home games and still getting a payout for making it to a big bowl game doesn't pay bills?

Really?

Seriously? Can I hear your football playoff plan that will not be left up to the humans?

I'm not sure, but how much human influence does calculating strength of schedule have? This is not calling anyone out, just trying to see how things would work out.

Simple way: conference winners go to the playoffs. NBA does it, NFL does it, etc. They have no need for human polling, and no room for bitching because you got left out. I understand that leads to the problem with non-BCS-conference schools:

1) 8 team playoff, with BCS and non-BCS schools
6 BCS conference winners get in automatically; use strength of schedule for 1-6 rankings (if SOS has human influence, it doesnt matter at this point with these 6 teams, because they didn't get left out).

Here is the tricky part, and I would need to think about this a bit more. You could take the next two teams with the best record; if there are 2+ teams with the same record, use SOS to pick the top 2. This might have some human influence, but like I said, I don't know how much SOS is influenced by humans.

2) Ideally, force independents to join a BCS conference, and if necessary, make an additional 2 conferences. Then you can just say boom, eight conferences winners, eight team playoff.

Teams have a right to bitch about march madness

Yes, a 19-11 team that was on the bubble and got left out of a shot for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP has the right to bitch.

How so? This would make it like NBA, NFL, etc.

Then we need to do whatever we can to not take a great sport like college football and make it like the NBA

After reading this article, I'm convinced we need a playoff more than ever, just to piss off every one of you BCS supporters even more.

The BCS is nothing more than a group of elite businessmen with nothing but $$$$$ in their eyes. They could care less who wins the national championship. But now, their proposal is that a 6-6 Baylor team should be entitled to going to a bowl over a 9-3 Nevada team, just because the Bears are in a BCS conference? Now that's sound logic.

did you just figure this out?

How so? This would make it like NBA, NFL, etc. They don't bitch when they miss the playoffs; they just recognize that "we didn't play well enough to make the playoffs."

those aren't CFB

and they let in a huge # of teams by %

and there was bitching for the pats last year. it was ridiculous that they didn't make hte playoffs
