About This Page: This is a discussion on Football within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Can we just call off crowning a champion this year?
What they need to do is take the Top 4 teams and have them play each other....
The #1 Seed plays the 4th Seed and 2 & 3s play each other.
The Winners play each other the Week before the Super Bowl. A true national champ is crowned and youve got a mega ratings winner as there is nothing on the week before the Bowl. Win Win.

What the BCS showed is that the four best teams in the country were LSU, Georgia, USC, and West Virginia. Only one of those even made the top four.
And the schools would never go for extending the season that far into spring semester/winter quarter. The Georgia president's suggestion today was spot on. 8 teams during winter break.

Agreed. But the Rose Bowl chairman will have to die before we ever see the Rose agree to it. The Pac-10 and Big-10 would have to pull out of the Rose Bowl.
For some reason, they are the most sentimental group. I understand the whole "grandaddy" thing, but come on. Times change.

I think 16 teams and incorporate all the bowl games. Instead of the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl between SW State and Northeastern Podunk University playing for nothing we could have had #1 vs #16 with the loser going home.
Rotate the actual final game between the current BCS bowl games and do the playoffs over the holiday break. It would only take 4 weeks and you keep the bowls.....
There was an article on Yahoo a while back dealing with a playoff system. I liked it. Each conf champion gets a ticket to the playoff. No debate. You win your conf, you get in. Then a committee picks the 5 remaining spots from teams that didn't get in to determine a field of 16. Seeding is done and away you go. You want in for sure? Win your conference.

This would be a lot easier to say if all conferences had a full round-robin schedule like the Pac-10. For example, LSU and Georgia never played each other this season.
I have hard time saying the MAC champion should go over an at-large team. It's a lot easier in basketball when there are 65 teams involved.

I totally understand that, but think about it this way. . .if a team loses out because they didn't play enough conf games, wouldn't they schedule that for next year? Or better yet, in addition to that scheme, make it a mandatory 7 conf games or something. Large conferences won't play each other every year, but so be it. Those things happen. Just because LSU and Georgia didn't play, they still got a conf champ out of it.

I agree here too. But the article was talking about the idea that what is exciting to everyone in March Madness isn't the Final game so much as it's the 12 beating the 5. Upsets are what makes it special. Would App State beat LSU this year? Not likely. . .but we didn't think they'd beat Michigan at home either. Point is, if you win your conf, you're in. If you don't, but you had a great year, you could still get in. Georgia would have been in the tourney this year. So would have UWV. It made the most sense to me out of any other idea. There's a reward for winning your conference. Gives the smaller schools a chance. . .however small it is.
So, LSU won. Yawn.
