My College Football Post Season Fix

So this has been going through my head, again…but for your reading enjoyment, my bowl fix.  

First off, there are too many bowls.  Cut 11 of them,  down to 24. 
The four BCS bowls will be a playoff.
·         6 conf champions – next 2 highest BCS rated teams. 
o   If a Non-AQ is in the top 8 they qualify (only take 1 max)
o   If Notre Dame is in the top 8 they qualify.
§  So you could have a year that only 1 from each conf make it.
·         The four bowls are played on Jan 1, semi final a week later, Champ a week later.
·         6-6 teams aren’t unless confs don’t fill out affiliations.  7-5 teams need to be taken over 6-6 for at-large
·         Tie-ins can’t be jumped by record.  The bowl takes that team in that spot, can’t choose.
·         Conf Championship game losers are considered Team #2 from the conf.

My Bowls and tie ins are separated into 5 tiers.

As of right now this is what it would       
TCU would be non-aq at-large #1.  LSU being the next highest ranked BCS team would be #2.
Other Bowl at-large bids would be – Ohio taking a spot the SEC didn’t fill.  Hawaii and Southern Miss take spots not filled yet by Pac-10 teams.  K-State just got the nod of the 6 win teams.

**Penn State & Florida are only 6 game winners but fill out conf tie ins**
**Big East is a mess**
**Troy is leading the SunBelt conf**


 The matchups I think are better than what we get now.
