Resolving the BCS/Championship Dilemma

Here is what I would do:

1. Limit the season to 11 games.
2. 8-team seeded playoff with the first round on 12/26-12/27
3. Replace the four BCS bowls with a college football Final Four, including a consolation game (the 3 vs. 4 game wouldn't mean any less than it does now).
4. Using 4 additional bowls in a playoff will wipe out 8 slots and keep the lame 6-6 teams out of meaningless bowls.

-Boise State was robbed this year because we never got to see how they stacked up against the very best teams. One of the best games in college football history proved utterly meaningless. Notre Dame losing every bowl will have more impact and Domers will suffer more.

-The current BCS system does a great job of picking 8 (10 was too many) teams for high-level matchups. Filling most of the slots with conference champions still keeps that meaningful. A couple wildcard slots give teams like Boise State a chance to prove themselves.

-If your team is really that good, you have a lot of NFL players that shouldn't struggle to play up to 15 games. You don't even extend the college football season beyond where it is now.

-It eliminates the scenario where a team has 51 days between games (what a joke).

-The general public gets to see the championship team play more than one meaningful game, helping them recognize a true champion.

-BCS (Bowl Championship Series) will actually become a series of bowls to determine a champion.
