Damn...I would definitely watch that if only to see WVU beat the hell out of LSU. The other games would be pretty exciting too. Unfortunately, that just seems short of a good playoff. Having just an 8 team playoff out of 100-some teams just seems short...it also says "Screw you" to #9 and #10. Hell, it's a "screw you" to those who are 9-25...like the BCS rankings don't matter to those who are under #8 (and actually, they're kind of like that now). Anyway, I still believe in 32 because that way you get your top 25 from the BCS (which would actually matter for all teams in there) plus an additional 7 who aren't in there. How would you go about picking the other 7 teams? I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

So you're suggesting they run a 6 week playoffs? That's absurd for a number of reasons (college athletes playing 18 games, season running way too long, etc.), but over the course of a season, while it may be hard to identify who the top 5 teams are, it's pretty likely that the BCS will generally get the top 10 right. Sure #9 and #10 would be left out of this, but someone always is. They could have bowls for teams that didn't make it into the playoffs, but football is not the same as college basketball. There is no way a tournament that large would work. Of course it's very unlikely the current bowl system will change anytime soon, regardless of how absurd the final results are.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
