I'm for a 14 team playoff system. You still keep the BCS formula that is around today. Here goes.....
All major conference champs get an automatic birth into the playoffs. The conferences that particpate would be Big 10, Big 12, Big East, ACC, MAC, Conf. USA, Pac 10, SEC, WAC, Mountain West, and Sun Belt. That would leave 3 at large bids available, those would go to the highest BCS ranked teams. Also it would eliminate the bitching of those small schools who feel like they get shafted.
The 1 and 2 ranked BCS teams get an automatic bye week one. The seeding would comprise of the final BCS standings. The first week would be played on the home turf of the higher seeded team. Week two would be played on the higher seeded team's home turf. Week 3 would be played at neutral sites, I'm thinking of a rotating BCS stadium scenario. The same thing would apply for the national championship game, for example this years title game would be played at the Sugar Bowl.
You still could play the conference championships and start the playoffs around the week of the 13th of December (in this year's case).
Any teams that are left out of the playoff scenario would still be eligible for any bowl games. This is a radical idea that would totally overhaul the college bowl system. How fun would it be to watch this all unfold? The only problem is that any bowl tradition would be thrown out the window for the most part.
Money would not be an issue because these guys would pack the fans in.
