1. One National Championship game
2. 4 team playoff determined by committee
3. 4 team playoff determined by committee (requirement to be Conf Champ)
4. 6 team playoff. 5 P5 Conf champs and a G5 Conf Champ. Top 2 get bye.
5. 8 team playoff. 5 P5 Conf Champs, G5 Conf champ, 2 next highest ranked teams.


Personally, #3 is the ideal option.

This, except I like the 8 team playoff...although you would need to subtract unnecessary games against teams like Alabama A&M so these kids weren't exposed to too much of a beating so young.

I hate the conf champion argument when a conf champ will be left out. The only way I could support a requirement to be a conf champ is a power five and one at large.

At which point is like to see the sec do away with divisions. Schedule 2 OOC games. One power five team and a rent a win from your own state. The other games would be against conf teams.

IMO the Big 12 just needs to dissolve. I think most people realize it's just a matter of time before it does.

Now you have 4 power conferences. You take the 4 champions. They get seeded 1-4. Then you take the next best 4 schools in the BCS.

If it goes to 8 teams, I think it would water down the importance of the regular season.

College football games matter every week, which makes it the best regular season in sports.

Of course you hate it, that's the reason you guys won the 2011 natty. Because apparently our regular season didn't matter. We should've played like OK state or some bullshite team and went home with that but..... les started JJ and we got fricked

BCS was a computer based system that used a very specific list of criteria. It is literally the polar opposite of having a committee... who basically just make up whatever arbitrary criteria they want on any given week, and we never know what those criteria are.

Has the committee gotten it wrong yet? I can't recall.

2/3 of the system was not computer based and was based on less solid criteria than the committee uses
