Cure for College Football Post Season

This is a cure for the college football post season I wrote six years ago in college.  Follow closely because it can get a little confusing.  Again, it is old, so some of the teams mentioned might not correlate with this past seasons final standings.

• When all regular season and conference championship games are final, the BCS ranking system would put out its final season rankings 1-25.  The top eight teams in the final BCS ranking would be invited to the NCAA tournament that would determine a TRUE National Champion.
• This format is needed because it would keep national powerhouse programs that lose one or two games during the regular season eligible for the National Championship.
• This would also give a team like Boise State, that went undefeated a couple of years ago a shot at the national crown if the BCS ranking system ranks them in the top eight in the final rankings.
• All teams that finish OUTSIDE of the top eight and teams with SIX or more wins would still play in regular bowl games during their regular scheduled times and dates.  The “Bowl Season” of college football would not change and the NCAA would still generate revenue from these games.
• The top eight would compete in the NCAA tournament or playoff system where the number one seed would face the eighth seed and so on.  The better seed would have home field for the first two rounds except for the National Championship game. The championship would be played at its regularly scheduled neutral site and date, for example The Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl sites would host the championship game, so the site rotation would continue as it does now.
• The teams that get eliminated throughout the tournament would match up by closest ranking and play in the regularly scheduled BCS bowl game such as the Fiesta or Orange Bowl.  This would again allow the NCAA to continue to turn in profits.

NCAA Tournament Example:

#1 Notre Dame

#8 Utah                             #1 Notre Dame

                                          #4 So. Cal

#4 So. Cal

#5 Florida

                                                                                          #1 Notre Dame

#3 Texas                                                                            #2 Ohio St.           

#6 WVU                           #3 Texas                                  (At the neutral site)

                                          #2 Ohio St.                             

#2 Ohio St.                       

#7 Miami (FL)                                                                   # 3 Texas

                                                                                                #4 So. Cal (neutral site)

         The BCS bowl games would continue after the final two are determined.

• All four first round games would be played the Saturday after the final rankings come out.  Making it the best Saturday for watching football of the year with four first round games in a row.  The semifinals would be played the following Saturday.  The two or three week layoff would follow after the semifinal games, so the national championship and other BCS bowl games go on as scheduled.
• Basically no schedule changes are needed.  The Final eight would have to play a minimum of one added game and a maximum of two added games.
• The playoff system would generate more interest in college football and give literally every team a shot at winning the National Championship.  NO MORE one and done seasons and NO MORE deserving teams getting left out.  Most importantly the NCAA and it’s universities would still bring in great profits if not more then what the current system in generating now.
