College Football Playoff Proposal Thread

[TheKilo]

I'm sorry, but this is the year that broke the camel's back in terms of the BCS. Not because they didn't get the two teams right (they did, IMO) who would be playing for the National Championship, but because of the fact that I don't think anyone can honestly say that this game will definitively decide the champion of football for the NCAA.

 

Ohio State - 1 loss in a BCS conference. If not for the loss to Illinois, there would be no complaints from anyone that they deserve to be in the NC game. I don't think there should be complaints from anyone as is, though. Illinois obviously proved their mettle by getting into a BCS game (more on this later), so penalizing tOSU too much for being in the NC game seems foolish. That being said, right now I would take at least five other teams in the top 10 of the BCS right now to beat them on a neutral field:

 

LSU

Oklahoma

Georgia

Missouri

USC

 

You could even make the case for WVU (if White was healthy) and Virginia Tech (as some posters noted in the other thread, they have improved over the course of the season.

 

My issue with no playoff is legitimately, any of these teams could say they deserved a shot at the National Championship. What are each team's "best wins" all season?

 

Ohio State - @ Michigan, 14-3

LSU - beat Virginia Tech, 41-7

Virginia Tech - BC 30-16 in the ACCCG

Oklahoma - Missouri 38-17 in the B12CG

Georgia - @ Florida, 42-30

Missouri - 40-34 @ Illinois

USC - 44-24 @ Arizona State

Kansas - 30-24 @ KSU

WVU - 28-23 @ Cincinnati

Hawaii - 35-28 vs. Washington

 

These teams had some tough losses, too though. Really murked up the BCS picture.

 

tOSU - Illinois

LSU - Arkansas

VT - LSU, BC (in hindsight)

Oklahoma - Texas Tech, Colorado

Georgia - 3 touchdowns to Tennessee

Missouri - Oklahoma by double digits twice

USC - Stanford

Kansas - Missouri

WVU - Pitt

Hawaii - ......

 

There's gotta be some other way to definitively have the two teams most deserving to play for the National Championship game, without any questions or doubts. VT can say they deserve a shot...because their worst loss was to a team playing for the NC. Oklahoma could say they had a shot based off of how they manhandled the # 1 team in the country last night.

 

Arguments could be made against the two teams in the game as well. LSU lost to the mediocre teams of Arkansas and Kentucky. Ohio State, aside from Michigan and Illinois, really didn't play anybody.

 

Here's what I think needs to have happen. 16 team playoff.

 

Have the winners of all BCS conferences earn auto-bids.

 

In this case:

 

ACC - VT

Big 12 - Oklahoma

Big East - WVU

Big Ten - tOSU

Pac10 - USC

SEC - LSU

 

That leaves ten (10) at large bids for other teams. Think of it like the NCAA tourney with their bubble teams.

 

IMO, the ten other teams to gain selection into the tournament would be:

 

Florida

Georgia

Hawaii

Illinois

Kansas

Arizona State

Missouri

Tennessee

Boston College

BYU

 

You could then use BCS to rank the teams based off poll position, record, strength of schedule, etc.

 

In my opinion, these are how the teams would be ranked for my scenario this season:

 

1. LSU

2. Oklahoma

3. Virginia Tech

4. tOSU

5. Georgia

6. Missouri

7. USC

8. WVU

9. Florida

10. Illinois

11. Hawaii

12. Kansas

13. Tennessee

14. Arizona State

15. Boston College

16. BYU

 

 

The first round games would then be decided at the corresponding team's home fields.

 

For the final three rounds (7 games), you could rotate the four major bowls and include three other prestigious bowls (ex. Cotton Bowl, Holiday Bowl, etc.) and hold the games in those sites.

 

Bracket for this method:

 

LSU/BYU

WVU/Florida

 

tOSU/Tennessee

Georgia/Kansas

 

 

 

Virginia/Arizona State

Missouri/Hawaii

 

USC/Illinois

Oklahoma/BC

 

 

 

 

I firmly believe, by the end of such a tournament, you'd know for sure who was the deserving national champion.

Div 1A conferences also include the WAC, CUSA, the MAC, Sun Belt, and Mtn West. I think you mean the BCS conferences.

 

Other than that, I'm on board.
