is to do a pre season playoff with all 119 teams. Let Florida International have the bye. Play it down to 24 teams and start the regular season. Let the schools that get knocked out go ahead and start basketball practice. Play one game a weekend until there is only 2 teams left and then settle it in the Octagon like real men do.

Keep brainstorming

Actually I'm good with a +1 but that is too logical and too easy. We need wholesale top to bottom changes I say!

completely disregarding many decades of tradition is usually a pretty good policy.

You're not really one of those diehards who thinks the world will end if a Pac-10 and Big-10(11) team aren't playing one another in the Rose Bowl are you?

I think tradition is what got us in this mess in the first place . . . :texan:

Look up the word completely and re read my sarcasm.

Thing can and should change. But you don't throw 100% under the bus in one move.

would it be possible to have a play-off of the proposed play-off systems that does not involve any type of a pole? :pop:

You'd need a best-of-seven series of rock/paper/scissors to decide the seeding for your play-off.

Not so simple now, is it?

No...Thanks for the difficulty Doc.

I was leaning more towards 1 team captain from each team competing in a Connect Four playoff to seed the teams in the pre-playoff

If you could work college classwork into a trivial pursuit format you could alleviate the clash between playing and studying for finals.

Just hold finals on a snow day so they could be canceled . . .

Ok Ok I got it. Play it down to 4 teams(don't forget FIU gettting the bye) and let the lower 3 seeds take part in the Royal Rumble with the winner getting a shot at the number 1 seed.
