So lets count this up.... you want the winner of each conference in the college playoffs. Here are the conference winners for 2008. Lets build our "playoff bracket"...lol.
Navy
Troy
Boise State
USC
Utah
Cincinnati
Penn State
Buffalo and/or Ball State (do we include east & west, north & south or do we still have a conference champ?)
East Carolina and/or Tulsa
Florida State and/or Virginia Tech
Missouri and/or Texas
Florida and/or Alabama
All very deserving teams....now how do we pick the wildcards?? You already at least have a 12 team bracket how many wildcards should we let in??
Oklahoma
Texas Tech
Ohio State
Georgia
Oregon
Rice
BYU
TCU
Starting to look like a big "silly" bracket.....I could go on but my point is everyone acts like it would be simple to have a playoff but in reality it's quite complicated because there are so many teams in college. If someone could come up with a fair playoff system I would be all for it.
