Start with a Four team playoff...keep it simple. use BCS poll to determine top 4...let them battle it out...that's just two weekends of games...play two games one weekend, and then the championship game 2-3 weeks later.
So you're saying use the original four BCS games, then let the four winners of those games play it out?
If so, that's the only way to do it.

Actually, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. But don't let that get in your way.

i don't think he wants to design the playoff...he just wants one

The more teams we let in, the more meaningless the regular season becomes...

I'm a BCS fan, but I'd be OK with a 4 or 6 team playoff, but DEFINITELY NOT 8 or more.

i really think that if you do the research and break it down...that 8 teams makes perfect sense
Posted on 1/9/09 at 12:11 am to Buckeye Fan 19
6 would be a stretch...how often have we talked about the No. 6 team having a legit claim to the title game?
If you did 6, give no 1 and 2 a bye, and make 5 and 6 travel to the home field of 3 and 4. but I would start with 4 for sure.

you start with 4...and this year Utah and USC aren't in it
it already fails

what the hell do you call the last 5 years...there have been multiple scenarios that should have been a death sentence for the BCS....its not going anywhere...ESPN just signed a fat new deal with it

I agree 16 is too much, but still awesome that SVP got pumped like that!

I agree. However, it keeps the regular season very meaningful, because it gives the #1 and 2 teams a clear advantage. Plus, there will NEVER be ANY complaining.
My favorite system, though, is the +1. Play the bowls with the old tie ins. Then, after the bowls, take the top two teams and play the NCG.

I don't believe this to be true. If you look at the top 16 teams going into the bowls, only 3 have more than 2 losses. The same amount we had last year and won the NC championship. So you still have about the same room for error.

this would be such a fail...so this year who would play?
UT, UF, USC, Utah?
There would be absolutely no way to answer this.

I would rather screw a team or two a small number of times, than let two teams in that have no business being in most of the time.

I'd like to see an 8 team playoff. Or 4. Either would be an improvement over the BCS in my opinion. Actually it's not an opinion, it's a fact. A team beating 2-3 elite teams would be more evidence that they're the best team in the nation rather than them simply winning one game. Anything can happen in one game, winning 2-3 games is more solid evidence.

By doing this, the top four this year would be OU, UF, Bama, and Texas.
Utah and USC were perhaps the two most impressive teams in their BCS bowls, yet neither would get a chance to show what they've got.

You'd have 8 teams in the format I'm suggesting, which is actually two less teams than are allowed in the current BCS, so it would make it MORE meaningful.

last year?
we say that #6 doesn't have a claim but the only reason we think that is because we perceive it
how can you say "so be it" to USC and Utah not being in? They're #2 & 3 at worst this season and they wouldn't be in your playoff?

You would have a better chance convincing the college presidents and conference directors to go with a four team playoff at first than something with 8.
Eight teams requires that you have three weekends of games. You would be asking fans of two schools to attend up to three games on short notice. Not to mention that the college presidents are not going to like the three extra games. Depending on the conference, you could have a team playing 17 games.
I just think that starting with 4 is the best option...and it can always be expanded if it makes sense.
