The College playoffs would be a wonderful experience, however with a committee left to decide who ranks where based off strength of schedule and conference play we are still left with a system left to opinion. All Football schedules are made a few years in advance leaving strength in schedule unpredictable as is the conference play. A team could potentially go undefeated and still not rank in the top 4 based on who they play. How can I enjoy a system like this? I can't so as a result I don't watch. I need and deserve a system which isn't left to chance. A system where depending the performance of a school no matter who they face they are left with a chance at the National Championship, A system where we can have a Cinderella story, and a system that isn't left to the opinion of the national media/Coaches.
So now that i am done with my soap box, here is my opinion. There are 11 conferences, each conference champion earns the right to play on in the playoffs. We use the ranking system to determine the top 3 seeds who will earn a bye week with the number 1 school getting a 2 round bye. We will see the NCAA use 8 bowl games for the playoffs (Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Citrus Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Peach Bowl, and the Alamo Bowl). This system would allow us to keep the BCS ranking system, but also reward conference winners. A system I could really get behind.
