My Football Playoff

After watching Utah win tonight, and go undefeated, I figured I would post about what I would like to see replace the BcS.

My model is similar to the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

I would like to see a 16 team playoff, with the teams coming from 11 Conference Champions, and 5 "At Large" teams selected by a commitee, just like basketball, and the teams will be seeded 1-16, with matchup occurring just as they do in March (1 vs. 16, etc.).

There are currently 4 BCS games, plus the National Championship. The 4 BCS sites will serve as host for the Semi's and National Championship (one site will be used for 2nd round), with the other current bowl sites serving as First and Second Round host.

The other current bowl games can still exist, but those teams would not be in the playoffs (consider it the NIT of football just not a tournament).

I know people will argue that the smaller conferences should not get a shot becasue they play a weak schedule, but to have a true champion everyone has to have an equal shot at winning the championship when the season starts, and with this method they could.

Here is how it would play out:
16 teams (8 games) - 8 Teams (4 games) - 4 Teams (2 games) -2 Teams (Championship)
