The '06-'07 BCS Playoffs

[SwooshOU]

I've come up with a BCS Playoff system that tries to make most (not all) sides involved happy. Below is a link to a hypothetical bracket based on today's BCS rankings. Look at it and give me the pros and cons of a system like this...

It would never work. You've got wake forrest ahead of rutgers.

[SwooshOU]

The seeds I used are the ones from today's BCS and Wake Forest is ranked above Rutgers there.

i dont think more than 8 teams would be in a playoff either.

[sooneron]

Yeah, 16 is ludicrous. D1A isn't as watered down as the other divisions and needing that many suitors.

[SwooshOU]

Not that I'm opposed to only having 8, but why not 16?

[TopDawg]

I'll be thrilled if we can get 4. Eight would be incredible.
