    Comments: College Football desperately needs a playoff. In fact, for what it's worth, I won't even watch college football unless and until a playoff is implemented. My idea: an 8-team playoff. The 6 "major" conference get automatic bids with 2 at-large bids. The "quarterfinals" are played the Fri and Sat after Thanksgiving. The "semi-finals" are played the following Saturday. The 2 team remaining play in the Fiesta Bowl (or whatever Bowl is hosting the title game). The 6 remaining teams are eligible for all bowl games to be played in late Dec. or early Jan., thus, preserving the "bowl" system.

    Comments: If college football got a legit playoff system it would be, by far, the most popular sport in America. It would be better than the NCAA hoop tournament, primarily because most of the star players stay in school for at least three years. Please, make this happen.

    Comments: I feel that the NCAA should have a playoff system for football. I know that a lot of the reasons deal with money and the issues of revenues to teams in the conferences. If I had the chance to put a proposal before the NCAA, I would propose a 13 week schedule (ONLY 11 games w/ 2 scheduled bye weeks for each team). Here is my proposal for how I would set up a NCAA National Championship playoff for college football. I will use this season as an example: 1st week - Aug. 29 & 30 2nd week - Sept. 5&6 3rd week - Sept. 12&13 4th week - Sept. 19&20 5th week - Sept. 26&27 6th week - Oct. 3&4 7th week - Oct. 10&11 8th week - Oct. 17&18 9th week - Oct. 24&25 10th week - Oct. 31&Nov.1 11th week - Nov. 7&8 12th week - Nov. 14&15 13th week - Nov. 21&22 End of regular season With the two bye weeks installed in the regular season, students will be able to go to class and will not have to worry about playing more than the mandatory 11 game schedule. With the end of the regular season on this date, lower seeded conference football teams chosen to prepare in a very low profile bowl will have a week for Thanksgiving plus ability to prepare for a bowl for those who are also lower seeded conference non-playoff teams. Playoff teams will have two weeks to prepare as I will show in the next and upcoming sequence. Calendar sequence for playoff and non-playoff teams. Nov. 28&29 Non-playoff very low profile bowl games Dec. 5&6 National Championship Sweet 16 Dec. 12&13 Non-Playoff Low to Mid Profile Bowl Games Dec. 19&20 NCAA National Quarterfinals Dec. 21-25 Christmas Break Dec. 26-27 Mid to High Profile Bowl Games Jan. 2&3 NCAA National Semifinals Jan. 10 NCAA National Championship The three weeks of non-playoff bowl games will take place with the lesser known bowls hosting teams who are the lowest seeded conference teams picked in their respective conferences. As each weekend takes place with a higher profile bowl, higher seeded conference teams will face each other. With the weekends for these bowls allowing for a week break for playoff football teams to prepare for the next week's important games. Also, the allowing of these bowls helps to fill the revenues that conferences feel will be missed out on by focusing strictly on the playoff system itself. Champions from the Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, SEC, PAC-10, Big East, Confernce USA, and WAC will take eight spots in the bowls with the last eight being at-large bids based on the decision of a national championship picking committee (such as the committee who chooses the teams for the Field of 64). Reward the teams who win their respective conferences, keep the sanctity of college football with the bowl games, keep students in class, conferences whose teams garner success will be rewarded with bowls. NO set 6 games and you are in. Field success on the football field, not mediocrity. Finally, energize the college football season with a passion and intensity that is felt in the NCAA basketball tournament with the office pools and the new rivalries that will emerge. Although this plan can be twisted and tweaked to success, I feel that it is a very successful way to bring about the dream that is the NCAA College Football National Championship Game. Thank you very much. Shannon Boy P.O. Box 2313 Weber City, Virginia 24290

    Comments: I definately believe that something needs to be changed with college football and the way that the NO.1 team is selected a playoff is a better option than the ratings. When 3 or 4 teams can loose 1 or 2 games and still be considered while other teams that are undefeated are not because of their schedules this is wrong. How about the top team from each conference (record or champion) and a brackett series playoff teams could play each other by ranking or by lottery.

    Comments: There is a way to do this -- without destroying ANY bowl game that we currently have, and not eliminating the wide-range of postseason play like we have now. We can add to and supplement what we have. It's not one or the other. I've got the system to prove it. But the BCS sucks, and it will continue to with these promised cosmetic changes. They still are not going to give any non-BCS team a legitimate chance. They want us to sit in the corner, be happy with what we get from them, and never be considered to be as good as even the worst in their conferences. If this were a discrimination case, the Supreme Court would have struck this down in its infancy!

    Comments: I do not think a playoff is the immediate answer! I think the governing board can implement a system of "fairness" immediately that would at least address the issue of how to make the playing field "even" with smaller, less visible colleges. I watched the C-SPAN coverage of the anti-trust hearing and agree with Senator Biden when he said you are all "biased" to the big programs in the nation and don't realize it, or don't want to! Why not do this...take all the colleges' "preseason" schedules and schedule them yourself as an organized body. For example, one year pit the SEC teams against the Pac-10, and the Big-10 against the Mid-American and so forth. Take scheduling of "cream-puff" games away from your Miami(s) and Texas, and Oklahoma(s) who are afraid to travel 150 miles out of their own backyard!! I remember last year when Miami was #1 for some time with games scheduled like Troy St. and you claim that "strength of schedule" is a must. How do you determine that is a "strong" game when you give no credance to a Pac-10 (Oregon) who beat Michigan who is #4 and set for BCS, yet can say the Pac-10 is "weak" this year. Maybe the fact is is that the teams in the Pac-10 are very "strong" and competative and the Big 10 is weak! Other than Arizona and Arizona St., any team at any given day could beat another in the Pac-10. I believe pitting conferences that never see each other will give the need "strength" and validity they need to be considered future considerations for bowl bids. Give teams like Boise St. the chance to play a Miami, Oklahoma, or LSU,...they would run scared!! They don't want competition, they want money and exposure, plane and simple!!! Not get their butts kicked by a team that deserves to be recognized as being capable of competing with anyone!!!
