College Football Playoff???

At the Sports Fools we really dislike the BCS, so were proposing the following playoff scenario. We would give a berth to the 11 Division I-A (FBS) conference champions and five at-large bids to non-conference winners. We've selected the at-large teams and seeded the tournament based on current BCS standings. Although we dislike the BCS, it still provides the "best" system for ranking teams. Here's our proposal:



(1) Oklahoma (12-1, 7-1) Big 12 v.

(16) Buffalo (8-5, 5-3) MAC


(8) Penn State (11-1, 7-1) Big 10 v.

(9) Boise State (12-0, 8-0) WAC


(5) Southern Cal (11-1, 8-1) Pac 10 v.

(12) Cincinnati (11-2, 6-1) Big East


(4) Alabama (12-1, 8-0) At-Large (SEC) v.

(13) Virginia Tech (9-4, 5-3) ACC


(6) Utah (12-0, 8-0) Mountain West v.

(11) Texas Christian (10-2, 7-1) At-Large (Mountain West)


(3) Texas (11-1, 7-1) At-Large (Big 12) v.

(14) East Carolina (9-4, 6-2) Conference USA


(7) Texas Tech (11-1, 7-1) At-Large (Big 12) v.

(10) Ohio State (10-2, 7-1) At-Large (Big 10)


(2) Florida (12-1, 7-1) SEC v.

(15) Troy (8-4, 6-1) Sun Belt
