re: NCAA Playoffs - how it should be

I would like to see an eight team playoff where only 4 of the 5 "power'" conference champs are locks for the playoffs. The other 4 playoff participants would be determined with BCS rankings regardless of conference affiliation (meaning more than two teams per conference is possible). The playoff committee would then take these 8 teams and seed them. The top 4 host the bottom four before advancing to the current 4 team "bowl playoff" configuration ( with adjustments to when the games are to be played as time allows). In this way conference championships in the power 5 means something as does the BCS. If you are the odd champ out in the power 5, the BCS can save them, if not, they didn't deserve to be there IMO. This set up allows for non power 5 outliers (Boise States, etc.) to have a shot AND allows for deep power 5 conferences (SEC, Big 12, PAC 12) to put two, or even three teams in the mix. Just my thoughts.
