This subject just started on the hive also but I just joined both here and there and since I'm at work I can't get to my home email to join the hive chat....so anyway.
This has always been my feeling if they ever decide to use a playoff system. A playoff system is highly unlikely because of the money from the bowls. So my thought is to keep all other bowls except the ones to be used in a playoff system.
Take the top 8 teams using the regular BCS ratings(I know that the cutoff with the top eight may stir controversy if a team were left out but at least a consensus top 5 would be playing in it). Put these teams in let's say:
Gator
Peach
Cotton
Orange
1 playing 8, 2 playing 7, and so on. The winners would play in 2 of the 3 bowls which would switch off for the NC game. One year it would be
Sugar
Rose
and NC would be Fiesta and then keep switching the three so that the Sugar, Rose, and Fiesta would have NC games every 3rd year.
Anyway, keep all other bowls and let them choose teams as they always have and have them play in mid Dec. (2nd and 3rd weeks). Then have the playoff every Saturday for three weeks and be done by early-mid January.
Any opinions or other takes on it?
