Umm NIU played and beat Maryland a BCS school. They beat Iowa State a BCS school. They played one other BCS and won (Bama at Bama?). They play BG this week, which just happens to have beaten Purdue a BCS school. Should I could continue? While I would agree that TCU is worthless when it comes to their schedule.
My playoff:
8 team playoff.
ACC, Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12 all get an automatic bid and their would be 3 at large teams. You can still keep the other bowl games. You just start the playoffs in 2nd Sat in Dec and you crown the national champ the 1st weekend of Jan. ( I left out the Big East because without BC, VT and Miami they are at the same level as C-USA and Mac). I like the thought of all these conferences adding a 12th member to make it so everyone has a championship game.
In this scenario one loss in your conference could cause you major problems.
For the three at large teams I would use a combination of the computer and polls to determine the final 3. Funny thing about people talking about non BCS getting screwed but how many times has it actually happened? A truly deserving non BCS school not a non BCS who plays a crappy conference schedule and has a worthless nonconference schedule (think TCU).
As for the thing about student athelets....if you are so concerned about taking time away why are their Tues, Weds, and Thurs night football games all through the season? They have to miss time. If you do it from the middle of Dece for 4 weeks...the kids miss little school because 2 or 3 weeks will come when they have their Christmas Break. 9 bowls would be used for the games in the playoff you can fill out the rest of the bowls with other teams to keep that tradition going.
