I voted 4. I never wanted playoffs in the first place, it cheapens the regular season games.

First, you form 8 conferences with 12 teams. Lets face it, some schools have no business playing with the big boys. Every conference would have to have a Championship game. Champs get in the playoffs, 8 teams. Period end of story. Everyone else plays in the other meaningless bowl games. Would keep the importance on the regular season and the paydays for the bowls. First two rounds are played at the higher seeded teams house. This would be based on the teams record and if there is a tie, then based on the overall record of the conference. This would hopefully create better cooperation within the conferences to improve its overall standing. NC game played at neutral site like the SB.
Finally, you rotate the Non-conference games through the other conferences on a set rotation. Such as, B1G plays SEC and so on. This will help with the strength of schedule argument.

Now lets move on to bigger and better problems like.......

5th rank team will be pissed off. Mark my word, next year will be more controversies than BCS.Nebraska Alum said:

True, but in most years they is a bigger difference between the fourth and fifth than the eighth and ninth.
A bigger difference in eighth and ninth than sixteenth and seventeenth, and so on.

yeah, you would not want a 2 loss national champion.Nebraska Alum said:
i would be happy with 8 or 10. 10 is nice because you could give the top two teams a bye.
and anyone who would rather have a controversy about who is the no. 2 team than who is the no. 4 or 8 or 10 team is silly. it is easy to imagine no. 3 teams with a legitimate argument to be in the mnc, it gets harder with the no. 5 team to be the no. 4 team and so on and so fourth.
also, i agree with walks. i think there will be four "superconferences" (like they will get nuclear waste spilled on them or something) and they will leave the ncaa and do their own thing.

According to the USA Today brackets there is no way we don't make it to the elite 8. We would replay Mich. State (after beating Vandy), and I don't think we lose twice, also next would probably be a rematch between either Georgia or UCLA. Beat either of them for the same reason.

form their own regulatory entity, only play teams in the superconferences, their own championship set-up, etc.

I took some time after posting that to read a couple articles about it, and it seems that the theory is more along the lines of super conferences reforming their own regulatory body to replace the ncaa and still have a "National Champion" of some sort. Doubt it happens in the next decade or two.

My biggest complaint against this is how the (current) SEC bias can easily occupy 2-3 of the top 4 spots. Make it 8 or 10 and its hard for bias to affect the outcome.

i do not understand why they do not keep the bcs ranking system and just use it to pick the top four for the playoffs.
