Then lets do 12 like the NFL and give first round bye's but 16, 8, 12 whatever...just bring one on before I die.
Also in any playoff format you simply MUST eliminate the preseason polls. Overcoming their uninformed, biased, blind speculation is a major cause of controversy that could be eliminated under the current system and make it light years better.
Also, as far as Boise goes. Put ND in the B10 and they aren't hogging up that BCS slot that Boise needed this year. I'm fairly confident that the top 8(if judged fairly) are enough in CFB. I just don't see a bubble team winning 3 games(2 on the road no less) vs the caliber they would be facing so the controversy over #8/#9 would be there but not a major deal imo.

And the chances of that happening are between slim and none.....
16 teams get in...
There are 11 conferences in D-1A, they all get in. You can keep how they determine the champions the same.
5 "Wild Cards" using the 5 highest NON-conference champion teams as determined by the BCS formula.

Chances improve dramatically when you eliminate pre season polls, put ND in the B10 and ensure every major confernece has a true on the field champ.
That said if 16 is what it would take to get everyone on board then fine, lets do it. I just think 8 is the more practical number but like I said..8, 12, 16, whatever just bring one on.
BTW your 16 teams with 5 wild cards guarantees ND a spot and really means only 4 WC's. Thats the kind of [censored] I'd prefer to avoid.

No it doesn't guarantee a spot for ND. They weren't a conference champion. Hell they barely made it in this year as it was....
The 5 WCs would've been:
Wisconsin
Auburn
ND
West Virginia
Arkansas
If ND gets in, ND gets in. They won't win [censored] with that team in a tournament, but if they are good enough to be there, let them in.
ND isn't ever going to join the Big Ten. We can all just forget that fantasy right now. And beyond that, I don't think we really want ND. They *MIGHT* win 8 games next year but they wouldn't if they played a Big Ten schedule instead of scheduling the service schools.

Guess I misread how you were calculating the teams. Its all pure hypotheticals anyway. I just want to see something move us closer to a playoff. I'm over this garbage we saw this year.
In a perfect world, jamming ND into the B10 works for the better of CFB but we all know the realities are far different.
