jrh31584 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 That said, a playoff system (likely 8-team, maybe 12-team) seems far more effective, especially when you can put it into the big gap between the end of the regular season and the Bowl week. I know, final exams have something to do with that big gap, but plenty of schools reschedule exams for their student-athletes.With a playoff system, a team with a soft schedule will have to play with the big boys, and certain games could be the [insert Company Here] [insert Name Here] Bowl, with the National Championship being the [Whatever Bowl] for the given year. You could also have brackets for the rest of the Top 25, or do it by invitation. I don't know, but I'd personally prefer a playoff system to promotion/relegation system.In the original post, I mentioned that there would be an 8-team playoff for Tier 1 (4 conference champs, 4 at-large). I just felt that it was more fair to pick eight teams out of 40 teams in 4 conferences rather than 8 of 120 teams in 11 conferences plus independents.

rams80 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I forgot to add one, slightly larger point to the whole "tv issue". The smaller schools lack the national or regional following of the schools in the BCS 6. If you start promoting in teams with less of a following, which translates to lesser ratings, on a regular basis, TV deals in general are going to pay out less.I bet University Presidents and ADs would be just thrilled at the thought of that.

You're still technically picking 8 of the top 40 teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
