I think they should keep it the way it is, and add a fifth BCS bowl game. I don't care which one - Cotton Bowl, Capital One Bowl, Pickle Bowl, I don't care. Instead of alternating which is 1 vs. 2, they should alternate which are 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3. So maybe the Rose Bowl is 1 vs. 4 and the Sugar Bowl is 2 vs. 3. The next year the Fiesta Bowl is 1 vs. 4 and the Orange Bowl is 2 vs. 3. Then the next, the "Bowl-to-be-name-later" is 1 vs. 4, and the Rose is 2 vs. 3. And so on... The other three bowls, each year, go about their business the way they do now. Personally, I'd like to get rid of the automatic bids to the 6 conferences, but that's another argument.

The remaining 25 or so bowls are unaffected.

A week later, the two teams who won those two games play in the college equivalent to a "Super Bowl," though it's obvious they can't call it that. A championship game that changes stadiums, the way the Super Bowl does. this year it's in Dallas. Next year it's in San Diego. Next year it's in Miami.

I think the case can be said for a #3 or #4 team to deserve a shot at the national championship. But when you get to the #5 team, it's pretty rare for them to have a legitimate complaint about not getting their chance. They lost too many games.

I don't want to see more than 4 teams make a playoff, because you'll inevitably get a team that many felt didn't deserve to make it to the playoffs (they lost 3+ games throughout the season) and they win the national championship. People will say it's because they got all their injuries back, while the opposition got all their injuries at bad times, or they finally started to click, or whatever. I also think that playoffs can diminish the regular season. Adding the possibility for only 2 more teams a shot at the NC will not diminish the regular season. For example, if Texas and USC win out, they will play for the national championship. Add two more teams to the mix, and Ohio State has a good chance to also play for the national championship. But they still have to win out.
