.......great Buckeye minds think alike.
I'll just save you the trouble and pick Ohio State to sweep the field...even beating "Bronco Nagurski" and the Florida Gator's.BuckeyeKing likes this. -
Only problem with a playoff like that is the timing of everything. Personally I love your idea.

Thanks :hi5: -
Really it's the $ though. -
PS: Would you still have other bowls during december?

But I would throw out the actual BCS bowls but have the actual playoff be played at the BCS bowl venue. If that makes any sense. Maybe add 2 more like the Capital One and Outback bowl. -

The only problem I see is the seeding of the 12. I like the 6 Conf winners, and love adding anywhere from 2 to 6 top teams that didnt win the conf, etc.
However, taking a conf team and seeding them higher than a non-conf winner that has a better record or realistically from the polls voted on as a better team is a bad idea.
I think you take the total number of teams either 8 or 12 - however many you want. and Seed them based on their perceived talent and not Conf. Conf winners are in, but seeding them incorrectly is not a good idea.
The reseeding makes all the sense in the world, I like that.
As far as time, I still think you get the first round games started as soon as possible and not wait for Jan 1st. Get the college season over by mid Jan the latest, not Feb 1.BuckeyeKing likes this. -
I just want to see a Playoff in College FootballBigDogsHunt likes this. -
looks good but i dont like the re-seeding after each round

ESPN purposed playoff system I heard today is to let everyone that is in a BCS bowl game play then whoever is 1 and 2 play for the national title. I don't like that because it isn't a true playoff you would get the same BS. -
The re-seeding seems a bit sketchy. Even if Ohio State beat Oklahoma, I'm not sure how they climb to the #2 seed. If that was how things worked, it would be much more favorable to be a 12 seed than a 3 seed. If a 12 seed wins, they get a bye. If a 3 seed wins, they have a small chance at a bye?
The only way I could see it working is if the top two remaining seeds get a bye, and the bracket is adjusted accordingly. Kind of like how they do it in the 2nd round of the NFL playoffs (except there is no bye involved there).
Using your example it would work out as such:
1 Florida: Bye
8 Utah v 9 Alabama
3 USC: Bye
7 Texas v 12 Ohio State
The bracket would then play out accordingly. You could also change it so the highest seed always plays the lowest seed. That way if Ohio State beat Texas, Florida would play Ohio State.BuckeyeKing likes this. -
Oh yes thats my mistake I didn't even notice that USC would get it. Thanks for catching that :lol:
Edit-Fixed it
Wow you guys suck for not pointing out my mistake :tongue2: -

I think the missing class excuse is just that an excuse. -
I still say the NCAA Football Championship should be crowned no later than Jan. 15th.
