12 Team Tourney

You need to get rid of most of the subjectivity. This takes out the biases and the idiocy to a degree. There will still be some subjectivity but you can try to control it unlike now with the BCS(ec). My system will award top conferences and top teams in those conferences. If Bama and LSU want to play again in the BCS then fine but I want to see Bama them earn it instead of sitting at home watching their conf championship. No way that should ever happen.

1. No rankings released of any kind until after the 1st week of conference play
2. No more than 2 teams from the same conference.
3. At the end of the season the Top 6 confercnes are ranked and given automatic bids
4. The top 4 Conference reps get bye weeks the 1st week.
5. The remaining 6 teams are At large bids in order done by the BCS Rankings.

So here is what you get if we did it like that this year. ( Arkansas SEC, S Carolina SEC, Baylor Big 12, Oklahoma Big 12, Georgia SEC, and Mich St Big 10 miss out because of the 2 team conf rule ) ( Big East gets no rep because their conf did not make the top 6 conf and no teams in top 18)

Top 6 Conferences:
SEC
PAC12
BIG 12
BIG 10
ACC
Mountain West ( sorry BIG east... not this year )

Week1
LSU Bye
Wisconsin Bye
OK St Bye
Oregan Bye

Stanford vs Clemson Alamo Bowl
K State vs Michigan Insight Bowl
Bama vs TCU Ticket City Bowl
Boise ST vs V Tech Outback Bowl

Week 2
LSU vs Boise St Gator Bowl
Wisky vs Bama Cap One Bowl
Oregan vs Mich Rose Bowl
OK St vs Stanford Cotton Bowl

Week 3
LSU vs Wisky Fiesta Bowl
Oregan vs OK St Orange Bowl

Championship : LSU vs OK St Sugar Bowl

Re: 12 Team Tourney

Not bad, but a few too many teams, or maybe too rigid with the two teams per conference idea. I think the notion of K-State being a playoff participant, or VaTech after the whooping they took from Clemson REALLY dilutes the field.

Re: 12 Team Tourney

your first rule makes no sense because the ACC and SEC start conference play in the first week.......

Re: 12 Team Tourney

There has never been a year where 12 teams deserve a shot at the title.

Re: 12 Team Tourney

Ok so I thought more about this and you are correct that 12 teams is too many and 10 is where we should go. So how do you determine the top 10? Well again I base it on strength of conference and BCS rankings and limiting some entries so some teams would get left out but I believe the 6 strongest confernces should get a 1 rep and I do not think more than 2 should get a shot ( Let's call it the SEC rule.) This would only let 1 big 10 team in this year because TCU who won the MW is only ranked 18. Boise State is 6th hence giving the nod over the Big East. If the Big East would have been ranked ahead of MW then Boise would have been left out and Michigan would have been next in. Fair to leave the 6th ranked team out? Well I think so. I don't think rankings should supercede conference titles. Rankings have been overinflated.

1. No rankings released of any kind until after the 6th week
2. No More Coaches Poll
3. No more than 2 teams from the same conference.
4. At the end of the season the Top 6 confercnes are ranked and given automatic bids
5. The top 6 Conference reps get bye weeks the 1st week.
6. The remaining 4 teams are At large bids in order done by the BCS Rankings. They play what you might call a play in game.

So here is what you get if we did it like that this year. ( Arkansas SEC, S Carolina SEC, Baylor Big 12, Oklahoma Big 12, Georgia SEC, and Mich St Big 10 miss out because of the 2 team conf rule ) ( Big East gets no rep because their conf did not make the top 6 conf and no teams in top 15)

Top 6 Conferences:
SEC
PAC12
BIG 12
BIG 10
ACC
Mountain West ( sorry BIG east... not this year )

Week1

Oregan Bye
Clemson Bye
TCU Bye

Bama vs Boise St Insight Bowl

Week 2
