Use the BCS to seed teams in a 16-team playoff. You seed them like they do for the NCAA basketball tournament.
That would give you four rounds, consisting of 15 games.
You use 15 of the current bowls, thus applying some meaning to some otherwise meaningless bowls. Suddenly, even people attending the Outback Bowl could be watching the eventual national champion; that ain't gonna happen now.
Since it'd take four weeks, you hold the first round on New Year's Day, then follow on the next two Saturdays, take a week off, then hold your championship on the weekend that the NFL takes off between its conference championships and Super Bowl. (You'd have the weekend all to yourself.)
Apply that formula to this year's 1-16 BCS teams and you'll see some pretty interesting matchups.
