Let's think about some stuff....

If there was an eight team playoff,

1. LSU would still be sitting pretty.

2. Ohio State's last two games would have virtually meant nothing.... they chould have lost to Illinois and Michigan, and probably would be able to slide back into the top 8 because the Big Ten doesn't play after Thanksgiving

3. This weekend's games for Missouri would mean nothing at all, Oklahoma would need to win however...

4. West Virginia could lose by 50 and still be in the top 8

5. What are you going to do with Hawaii sitting at #12? There is a good chance they can win this week and still be be in the top 8....


My proposal: Same as Brad Edwards from ESPN (he is the BCS numbers cruncher), Go back to the old tie ins... Big Ten plays Pac 10 in the Rose Bowl every year, SEC winner goes to Sugar Bowl every year, Big XII goes to Fiesta Bowl every year, etc.... then add the plus one after the bowl games... it's not perfect (and no matter what never will be, the basketball tournament isn't), but I like the fact that the regular season means something.... unlike in basketball, where it is all for a seed....
