I still feel 12 is "ideal" but 8 or 16 would be fine---even though 8 feels like not enough and 16 feels like too many. Thanks again. Happy New Year from 'da Burgh. John

I still feel 12 is “ideal” but 8 or 16 would be fine—even though 8 feels like not enough and 16 feels like too many.

Thanks again. Happy New Year from ‘da Burgh.

A season like this would provide strong incentive for them and other schools to schedule tougher opponents so they have a real shot at the top 8. John's point that the regular season would still matter is a good one. The Ohio State/Penn State game would have been even bigger, as Ohio State could have locked up a spot in the playoffs with a win. Boise would not deserve it due to their non-conference schedule.

Nice job. Boise obviously has the biggest gripe here, but when you think about it, that falls on them and their non-conference schedule. Add one more decent non-conference matchup and they probably get into JP's 8-team playoff. Of course, this is easier said than done and it's too bad their win over Oregon this year isn't being talked about more, because it's tough to win in Eugene. It's amazing how the BCS can't put something like this together. It answers all of their many gripes (i.e. "the regular season would have less meaning" which is complete horse crap) and would make the majority of college football fans happy. That said - it'll never happen. I agree with pittsburgh kid – this was fun to watch unfold over the last couple weeks, John. Nice job.

I wouldn't want to include all 11 conf. champs in the 12-team setup, just the six "BCS" conference champs. Thanks for the feedback.
