Eight teams would be seeded in a playoff format that might determine which "institution of higher learning" in the land actually has the best football team, not that it matters one iota.
Don't get me wrong, I recognize that bowls are cool. The Kraft Hunger Bowl is cool, for instance. If you like processed cheese.
I guess if you're hungry enough you'll watch anything.
The point is if they are going to play the games, the games ought to have a semblance of meaning, as they supposedly did all season long when teams battled to win their conference championships.
The format would resemble what the lower-division NCAA football schools do to determine their champions. That is seed x-number of teams and go at it.
Major-college basketball does this, albeit to excess, and the post-season flourishes. A true champion emerges, no argument.
One day an eight-team college football playoff format will happen. It won't be perfect, but it'll beat what college fans must endure now while listening to the football pundits extol Notre Dame vs. Alabama.
I don't think either one could beat Oregon. Or Stanford a second time.
But I have a west coast bias.
What am I getting out of the current BCS system except a month of boredom, the rumor of a championship, and the opportunity this weekend to watch Navy kick Army's ass?
Again.
