We probably don't need yet another pipe dream playoff thread, but I can't help myself.
What is your preferred Playoff System? And how would it have worked out this year?
If I had my way, the regular season would end one week earlier (teams will have to give up a bye week...or those matchups with the Charleston Southern's of the world). Then simply take the BCS top 8, and games are played on campus the first two weekends in December.
So this year, the first round would have been on Dec 4th:
5)Wisconsin at 4)Stanford
8)Oklahoma at 1)Auburn
6)Ohio St at 3)TCU (Sisters of the poor game!
)
7)Arkansas at 2) Oregon
*There would be some rules about conference foes facing each other in the first round, so Arkansas and OU swap seeds.
Round 2 would be on Dec 11th, again on campus of the higher seed. Then the championship would be decided in whatever bowl it is this year, and the 6 losing teams would go on to the same consolation bowls they will be playing in.
#9 Michigan State is left out in the cold, but there has to be a cut off somewhere. Sorry Spartans.
