I was going to wait until all the games have been played out before I revealed my playoffs system. But I got to excited about what been happening in college football to wait any longer. Plus if certain teams lost my system wouldn’t look that impressive any more. It will also give people a chance to share there thoughts so maybe I can improve it a little more. So without any more delay here it is without further eddo.
It seems the NCAA and the BCS is all about the "money" so here's a way to get all the money they want and more. This system involves all the polls and the BCS and all the bowl games.
My goal is to get 16 teams into a playoff system. There are 12 conferences (including the Independent).
The top 6 conference champions get in the playoffs for sure the rest of the 12 teams are "At Large" bids. How do you decide who are the top conferences? The answer is the BCS. Since they can figure out whom the top teams are in the nation why not average there teams rankings and figure out which conference is the strongest? With that in mind, I think we can get a pretty good Idea who those 6 conferences are even though the BCS hasn’t given us the answer. Less say the top 6 conference are in no particular order are:
SEC, Big 10, Big East, Big 12, Pac-10, ACC
Since I didn’t wait to until all the games were played out we don’t know exactly who the conference champs are. But I will just use who ever has the best record in there conference. That makes Arkansas in the SEC. (sorry Florida fans remember games haven’t been played a lot of rankings will change in 2 weeks) Ohio State in the Big 10, Big East well, 3 teams are tied so will say West Virginia because there ranked higher in the polls. Big 12 champ has the same situation as the Big East we'll say Texas again because there higher ranked at the moment. Pac-10 is USC. ACC leader is Georgia Tech.
Now we still have 10 spots to fill. As I said earlier we will use the "At Large" bids, therefore we will use the BCS rankings to get the highest ranked remaining 10 teams. Which means these teams will also be included in the playoffs. Michigan, Florida, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Louisville, LSU, Boise State, Auburn, Rutgers, and finally Oklahoma. (Yes there are some teams who deserve to be in there like Virginia Tech and possibly California or BC and others but oh well they should have played better during the regular season. Here are our final 16 teams.
Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Florida, Notre Dame, Arkansas. West Virginia, Wisconsin, Louisville LSU, Boise State, Auburn, Texas, Rutgers, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma,
It just so happens that the top 16 teams are the top 16 BSC rankings. Last week win I did this I believe we had a 23 ranked team in Wake Forest who and somewhere in there was California. Oklahoma and Georgia Tech didn’t make it.
I haven’t decided on how I'd like to rank the teams from there. Should the conference champs be the top 6 ranked teams? Or should we still use the BSC rankings for that? But for now we will use the rankings from the BCS. We will use the March Madness NCAA bracket template of course. This is what we are looking at for our bracket if the season ended today.
(1) Ohio State
(16) Oklahoma
(8) Wisconsin
(9) Louisville
(5) Notre Dame
(12) Auburn
(4) Florida
(13) Texas
(6) Arkansas
(11) Boise State
(3) USC
(14) Rutgers
(7) West Virginia
(10) LSU
(2) Michigan
(15) Georgia Tech
Now that looks like some big time football games.
It’s a 4 week process; the first week of the playoffs could possibly start December 9 or wait a week for the 16th. You could have some games start on a Thursday or Friday still like sometimes college football does. you can arrange it where you still have Monday January 1st we would have the final 4 bracket the following Thursday, Friday or Saturday the championship game would be played. I think this has really good potential. We can still call the final 3 games the Rose, Fiesta, Orange each year they rotate who's the championship game. We can still have all the minor bowls being played. I don’t think it takes anything away from those games. They were pretty much meaning less anyway. Those fans of the schools still get to see there teams in there bowl game. The minor bowls can still scheduled at the same time they are right now. As long as they're are not one of the bowls partcipating in the the playoff system. That way we can still get all the games during the Christmas and New Year Week. We all love the January 1st game, we get to keep those.
I think my system is great there maybe some flaws. But it can all be worked out. I wish there were someway this I could get this noticed by someone important.
Please let me know what you think?
