here is my college football playoff system tell me what you think?

Question

serious answers only please

Keep the actual BCS rankings(make them better too) and then have every conference have a championship game or no championship game at all(isnt fair to conferences that have a championship game that others dont). then seed the top 16 teams and start the playoffs after the conference chmpioships. keep the current bowl games and designate a certain number of them for the teams that are eliminated from the playoff to play their final game in against another team that was eliminated from the playoff. If you do the math right then you could have the semi-finals played during the last or next to last weekend in december, then take two weeks off before the championship game, and take the losers from the semi-finals to an alternating big bowl(rose,fiesta,sugar,orange) and that would be a third-fourth place game that would be played the same weekend of the National championship game.

this doesnt take any longer than usual it(championship game would be played around the same date that is alreaqdy scheduled) only adds more games and if a team cant handle that then they dont deserve to be champs

to those who sday it takes kids away from school too much ask the division II schools how the playoffs work, they seem to be able to manage and they play 16-17 games

that is why i say the bcs rankings need to tweaked to add such factors as strength of schedule. i also feel that the higher seeded team deserves AT LEAST the first round at their home sit, maybe even the quarter-finals, but the semi-finals and obviously the championship definetely need to be at a neutral site.

Answer 1

you have my vote! Plus the Bowls can probably make more money that way.

Answer 2

It's a decent idea, but you need to have strength of schedule play a significant role in the selection process and downplay the role of the human polls (remember, the NCAA basektball tournament selection committee gives NO weight to the human polls).

In addition, I believe that at least the first-round games should be played at the site of the higher seed, if only to cut down the travel for fans. And, the seedings need to be adjusted if necessary such that teams from the same conference cannot meet until at least the semifinals.

Answer 3

I think the commissioners of each conference should decide the games instead of a computer. Maybe next season, a team's schedule will be adjusted so that there is no undefeated team and the rankings can compute in complete harmony. It'd also make every game more exciting.

Answer 4

In my opinion there shouldn't be a playoff for a couple reasons. The first is that it would create to many more games. these kids are in school and need to study for finals in December. Also, it is unfair to the schools to have 4 or 5 more games then they usually have since that means more money/exposure for them. Lastly, it puts too much emphasis on being number one. College is about the pageantry, tradition, sportsmanship, school pride, team building, and school representation. It is not about which team is number 1. If you want who's number one to your priority, then watch the NFL. If you want to watch kids play just for the fun, desire, tradition, pride, and sportsmanship, watch college.

Answer 5

This would take too long ... the season's length really can't be extended because it would be too close to the Super Bowl ... also, games can only be played once a week (too hard on players if they try to do more).

Answer 6

That sounds like a good idea, if there was only some way to sell it to the idiots that make the decisions.

Answer 7

Just do it like they do college basketball. Why is everything so HARD???? Yeesh.
