Here is my idea: I sent it to the BCS, NCAA, ESPN, Fox Sports, Larry King, David Letterman, and some newspapers. Can you comment on the top 8 teams in the BCS rankings and if you would have a problem with an 8 team, 3 round playoff with those teams. I think they should rotate the big 4 bowls annually through the first round. One year Orange, then Rose, etc... as to who has the first, second, etc. pick of the playoff match ups. Then add a semifinal round and keep the BCS Championship game You could even give the Rose and the Sugar preference for a traditional team if they are going to be hardline about that. But must keep 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc. set up. So they will have to comprimise and often just get one traditional conference team. Less controversy, #8 vs 9 compared to #2 vs 3 rankings.
