09-10 BCS Solution - College Football Playoff

We could have finally have a true National Champion this year in College Football. Despite all the current chaos, there is an easy solution to sorting this all out. It basically evolves around using the BCS game as a plus one game this year. Don’t be fooled this is absolutely feasible, and a couple people have the power to make it happen.

I’m putting this out there now because hopefully momentum and pressure will build and this will be made a reality.

This idea or plan could easily be a reality, as a couple of key people with Fox and the individual bowls could make this happen. I’m talking about only 6 key people and if they sign off on it, we could finally have a real College Football National Champion.

That’s why I’m encouraging fans, bloggers, and media to take up this plan, and put pressure on those key people to make this happen.

Here is the plan, it’s very simple, and essentially controlled by Fox, which also puts this in their best interests. (think about the ratings and excitement) It’s also perfect that BCS game scheduled for Thursday.

1. First don’t put any team in the BCS title game yet.

2. The winner of the Alabama vs. Florida game goes Sugar Bowl – Friday 8:30 on Fox. If Cincinnati defeats Pitt they’re in the Sugar Bowl vs. Florida, if not it’s Boise State.

3. I’m assuming Texas will defeat Nebraska. (You could take the 4th undefeated team and place them here if Texas loses.) Put them in Cotton Bowl – Saturday 2pm on Fox. TCU plays Texas in one of biggest football game in history of the state of Texas.

4. Take the winner of the Sugar and Cotton Bowl and put them in Thursday’s Final in Pasadena.

These two playoff games our not scheduled opposite any other bowl games and both already scheduled for Fox, therefore no other bowls could really complain about them overshadowing their games

Why would Alabama / Florida / Texas, give up a guaranteed spot in the BCS game for a playoff? – First the extra money, and secondly would anyone turn down the chance for college football immortally, and that is what you would have with the first ever playoff and true National Champion.

Of course this plan only works if there are 4 or 5 undefeated teams. If there are five undefeated teams, Boise State, would be left out of the playoff, which can be easily justified when compared to the other four undefeateds.
So here is what this plan would look like.

Playoffs:

Sugar Bowl – Alabama / Florida winner vs. Cincinnati or Boise State should Cinncy lose to Pitt.

Cotton Bowl – Texas vs. TCU

BCS Game – TBD

Other BCS Bowls

Rose Bowl – Ohio State vs. Pac 10 Champions

Fiesta Bowl – Undefeated Boise St. or a one loss Cinncy vs. the loser of the SEC Title Game

Orange Bowl – ACC Champion vs. At Large.

Again this plan is simple and feasible, and if we can get a two key people behind, we could have a historic College Football Champion.
