re: Be honest. Who would win these hypothetical national championship game matchups?

They were within 9 minutes of it the first time. It's doubtful, but still. The argument of doing a +1 after making the top 4 teams play a Bowl game is a crappy idea. Keep the Bowl games for the remaining teams, but the +1 would either be a part of the Bowl games or completely apart from them. No way they'd play a Bowl, then 2 more games.
