here's my crackpot scheme:
i say we go back to the traditional Bowl matchups, Big Ten/Pac 10 Rose Bowl, SEC champion the Sugar, Big 12 in Fiesta and so on.....
with the 6 major conference champs going on to those, and the other 2 spots filled by the 2 highest ranked BCS teams who dont win a major conference title. The winners of the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl play in the "west Regional final" in San Diego or wherever the following week and the Orange and Sugar Bowl champs play in Atlanta or Jacksonville in the "East regional final" and then those winers play in a rotating championship game.
I like this because it puts a value back on the conference championships which now dont mean a whole lot, Big Bowls mean something again (
OSU's goal is no longer the rose bowl, its the title game, which is a tad depressing) and every game is still important because there r only two at large bids for the other 11 teams that dont get auto bids.
your thought are appreciated.
