My thought (for what it's worth) is to just go straight to a 8 team playoff (maybe less). Take the Champs of 6 AQ conferences plus two "wild Cards"


I've always thought that would be the cleanest way. That ensures that each conference gets their money. Winning a major conference gets you in. Being a top team in a smaller conference or the second best team in an AQ gets you in.

I would agree with one change. You have to be in the top 10 in rankings and win your conference to qualify. I could see a Big East team ranked 14 going in front of an SEC team ranked top 5 possibly. No system is perfect. Basketball rewards its toughest conference with numerous bids to the 'ship. Big ten is trying to screw the current toughest conference my minimizing their bids to a 'ship---think they are scared?

Think about it, why should a "second best" team get consideration for the best team in the country?

I am AGAINST 'wild cards'.

8 team playoff?

6 BCS champions, 2 champions of highest rated non-BCS conferences based on SOS.
