Ok...Who supports a "BCS PLUS-1" weekend scenario???

It is a start. I would like to see a 12 team playoff similar to the NFL and every conference have a mandatory championship game.

For that matter, why Boise over TCU?

The plus 1 is a better idea for years where two of the candidates haven't already had a chance to play

If Auburn is eligible and finishes ranked higher - they beat LSU fair and square and LSU should not be in a four team playoff against them

The conferences being different and receiving different levels of attention is a good thing if your conference is the best and you get as much or more press than anyone else

i guarantee more people will bitch about another arbitrary number dictating the best. the playoff will not satisfy everyone, but there will be less people fighting it. you can't make everyone happy, so you should do what would make most

help me out on this... what do you mean?

from what i could understand, you were in favor of each conference being associated with a number that would dictate who they would play in the plus-1, that number would result in the same situation we have now where people feel as though the BCS # doesn't justly dictate where a team should be ranked, that it is 2/3 decided based on voter's opinions. the same thing would happen with the "conference ranking" so people would still feel as though they are shafted. that is why i would be in favor of the conference champs being in a 8-team play off. if you have a shitty w-l ration but you won your conference (which consists of 16 teams) you did so because you faired the best against the 8 in your division plus the "best" from the other division. and if they go on to win the NC that means they again did it 3 weeks in a row against the "best" from 3 other conferences. then you could always put in the stipulation "if a team doesn't have 7 or 8 (you pick) wins but somehow wins their conference championship, if there is another team from the conference with a better overall record (and there is no "heads-up loss" against the conf. champ) then that team would proceed. but i would guarantee that would just about never have to happen. when was the last time a team with only 7 wins won their conference (in one of the big conferences, don't come at me with the WAC or conf USA)

This scenario is to get rid of the smaller conferences argument that they should be considered for the National Championship. So if and when you get an undefeated Boise or TCU fortunate enough to end the season ranked in the top 4 they would have to prove themselves once more with the plus 1 weekend.
My final 4 results were hypothetical and adding only one more weekend would not take away money from CBS or ESPN because each of them could cover one of these two games.

It's a step in the right direction, but I favor a full-blown FCS-style playoff system myself.

Think about it, not only would we as fans get see highly-ranked teams or to go the away games at stadiums of teams on the schedule, but there would be the chance to see additional highly-ranked teams at home or travel to other stadiums during the playoffs.

For example, Ohio State could come to Tiger Stadium for a winner-take-all game to move on to the next round.

Teams would have to be prepared to face all kinds of weather conditions...just like in the NFL.
