What's the timeline of these games?

Here's how Mulat's system would play out if it were in affect this year:

There are 17 Saturdays between August 30th and December 28th, about the time the bowls usually begin.

With a 13-week regular season including a bye week, followed by Championship games for each of the 8 conferences, you would enter the first round of the playoffs on December 14th. Then 8 teams play on the 21st, and the 4 winners could play around New Year's Day using the current rotating bowl system. Championship would be January 12, 2015, just as is currently planned.

I don't see how this would be any more of an imposition on student-athletes than the current system is. And the schools who host the first two rounds (and the towns in which they reside) will get a huge windfall on top of the distributed revenues.

I like it. Which means it won't happen.
