I would not, however, put in a two or three loss maximum for automaic qulifiers. This, is, I presume, to prevent, however unlikely, an undeserving turd of a team to get into the playoff. I will give you that for the first four or five years of the playoff. However, you might be overlooking the possibility that an all-conferences-are-eligible bracket will even out (though not completely) the talent gap among the second-class (as they are treated currently) conferences. Simply put, teams can recruit better players if they can pitch a chance to play for all the marbles. <br /><br />I would even throw the BCS a bone or two by <br />1. letting them use some variant of their formula to pick the at-large teams. <br />2. playing the last 2 rounds at BCS bowl sites. Hell, it could be called the Tostitos national semifinal Fiesta Bowl. They can smear corporate logos all over the place as long as I get to see some MEANINGFUL post-season college football. <br /><br />By the way, I am an Auburn graduate, still bitter about &#39;04. Jason Campbell, Ronnie Brown, and co. were much better than Oklahoma that year. My wife is a Tulane graduate. Remember &#39;98? Quick recap: top 10 ranking, and the only undefeated team in the country playing in the , wait for it, <br /><br /><br />Liberty Bowl.Rykerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07156913562692775860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12754108.post-88618980993828970882009-11-30T21:42:48.315-06:002009-11-30T21:42:48.315-06:00I&#39;m glad I&#39;m not the only person advocating a 16-team playoff.<br /><br />http://www.radicalruss.com/?p=1723Russ Belvillehttp://radicalruss.comnoreply@blogger.com
