huskerinacaveman Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 http://ftw.usatoday....layoff-bracket/ My thoughts. Yes, this would be awesome, but won't work and here is why. Regions can't work the same way they do in Men's basketball. You can't have different teams playing on the same field for 4 consecutive games. Fans won't travel week in and week out to far off places. There is a big difference flying a team of 12 players and maybe 5-6 support staff compared to flying a team of 85 plus staff. Teams who lose early in the season what happens to them. If it WERE up to me this is how I would do it. I used strength of Schedule and multiplied it by winning percentage to get final rankings. I'd to hear what you think. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 64? Named January Madness Dance? I vote 8. Maybe switch to 6. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 8 is the right number. Still exclusive enough that the regular season counts. Also no predetermine sites, play will be at the top seeds stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Alabama would do awful things to us... Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Agree with Stanford beating Florida State in that bracket. Disagree with Clemson making the title game. No way. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I voted for a 12 team. For the top four teams it functions like an 8 team playoff (less total games). This number allows for the 2nd tier conferences to get automatic bids so there are no lawsuits like we saw with the BCS. Auto bids (must have a conf champ game) Big Ten (Mich St) Pac 12 (Stanford) SEC(Auburn) ACC(Florida St) Big12 (Baylor) (forced to add two more teams and a champ game) Mt West (Fresno St) MAC (Bowling Green) Conf USA (Rice) Sun Belt (Louisiana-Lafayette) (forced to add teams and champ game) AAC dissolves into other conferences Wild Cards (3) (all happen to be one-loss teams) Alabama Ohio St Missouri Outside-the-Bubble teams: (all happen to be two-loss teams) South Carolina Oregon Oklahoma Clemson Unlike the NFL the wildcards would be re-ranked with the whole group (they would retain their BCS-like ranking for seeding) first round byes: Florida State Auburn Bama Mich St first round games: Louisiana-Laff @ Stanford Rice @ Baylor Bowling Green @ Ohio St Fresno St @ Missouri second round: Missouri @ Florida State Ohio State @ Auburn Baylor @ Bama Stanford @ Mich State Final Four and Champ Game All at one Neutral site (rotate Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, or just bid for site like superbowl) I think Stanford v Bama would be the champ game. Might have an Iron Bowl rematch in the semis 2 Quote Link to comment
CBolin69 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 In my opinion all they have to do is take the first and second place teams from each major confernece and put them them into playoff bracketts, and then you would have it. Simlar to what that they do at Div II and Div III and in some cases high school football. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 64? Named January Madness Dance? I vote 8. Maybe switch to 6. College Football should own December like Basketball owns March and NFL owns January. No reason to push the champ game any further than Jan 1st IMO. Quote Link to comment

Simlar to what that they do at Div II and Div III and in some cases high school football. The conference championship games would kind-of do this anyway, and act as an extension of the playoff. Just give the champs auto-bids. Also the money for the conf champ games would stay with the conference instead of going into the tourney money pool. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 8 is ideal. 5 major conference champions plus 3 at-large teams. No more than 3 per conference. Higher seed gets home field advantage first 2 rounds, then NC game played on neutral site. THAT is the way it needs to be. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 All this is academic... In a few years there's going to be four "super conferences" made up of 20 teams, and if done incorrectly, will become a train wreck... Quote Link to comment
