Deer Stupid Playoff Idea Having Peeples,

[critical_phil]

it won't work without 2 things:


1.) a down-sizing of the # of DI teams.

under my master plan, there would be eight 12-team conferences, all having a conference championship game. sorry army, sorry buffalo, sorry akron, etc. - you've got to go. notre dame, you can either get with the program or **** straight off. i couldn't care less which.

2.) take the scheduling out of the hands of the schools.

no team should be allowed to set their schedule with cupcakes. all teams would have 12 games per year similar to what the big 12/sec does now. 6 games would be at home, and 6 one the road. the schedules would be made following the season based upon performance a la the NFL.


look for my entire playoff manifesto in hardback next spring.

Limit the # of regular season games to 10 and you've got yourself a winner.

[texas bandman]

I'm certainly glad that Bowl games start on the 20th. Some of you guys are getting scary. :P

This system will not work unless you make some rules from the very beginning. In the format you suggested, you left a window open for Alabama to claim 2 titles. Its not a problem with your actual format. you just have to make a rule from the start that they have to actually win the championship game to get the title. And it only counts as one title. Put that into the minutes of your next meeting and get it ratified asap. Other than that, I look forward to your book.

Teams to form the new Division 1-AA:

Mid-American – Toledo, Buffalo U., Eastern Mich., Western Mich., Kent St., Ohio U., Northern Illinois
Conference USA – Rice, SMU, Tulane, UAB
Sun Belt – Arkansas St., Middle Tenn. St., La.-Monroe, La.-Lafayette, Fla. Intl.
Western Athletic – San Jose St., Louisiana Tech., Idaho, New Mexico St., Utah St.
Mountain West – UNLV
Independent s– Temple

How it works:

· Division 1-A (96 universities) will be comprised of eight regional (approx.) conferences each composed of twelve teams

· At the end of the regular season there will be 8 conference champions. In the regular season you will play every opponent in your division plus three teams in the opposite division. A championship title game will determine the conference playoff representative

· The BCS formula will be used for seeding only, NOT participation

· All conference championship games will commence one week prior to the Thanksgiving Day weekend

· The playoffs will begin on the following Saturday as follows: #1 will host #8, #2 will host #7, etc.

· One week later, the 2nd round commences with #1 hosting #4 and #2 hosting #3

· New Year’s Day – National Championship game with #1 (designated home team & colors) hosting #2

· All current bowl games, as well as the rotation of the national championship game will remain as scheduled

· At the end of the regular season there will be 4 conference champions. In the regular season you will play every opponent in your division plus three teams in the opposite division. A championship title game will determine the conference playoff representative

· The BCS formula will be used for seeding only, NOT participation

· All conference championship games will commence one week prior to the Thanksgiving Day weekend

· The playoffs will begin on the following Saturday as follows: #1 will host #4, #2 will host #3

· Three weeks later: 1-AA national championship game with #1 (designated home team & colors) hosting #2

· The division originally known as 1-AA will be renamed 1-AAA and function as previously designed
