Ok so this is all hypothetical and I know the college football lords have only agreed to a 4-team playoff starting next year but this is what I envision as the perfect playoff system that would rival Super Bowl interest. 8 teams determined by the college playoff committee.
Now just going by BCS Standings this is what the first round match ups would look like:
1. Alabama vs 8. Baylor - Could Bama be on upset alert? Nick Saban would have a hard time stopping Baylor's spread offense which averages an incredible 65 points a game. Bama's defense has only given up 1 TD in the last 5 games.
2. FSU vs 7. Miami - These two rivals would be a complete mismatch in my opinion. I just can't see Miami beating FSU this year. Jameis Winston would have a field day vs a suspect Hurricanes defense.
3. Oregon vs 6. Stanford - Another rivalry game between conference opponents. Stanford knows how to stop Oregon. This would be another fun game to watch.
4. Ohio State vs 5. Missouri - The Big Ten vs the SEC. For bragging rights. Braxton Miller vs Maty Mauk. The Buckeyes 25-game winning streak on the line vs a big bad SEC team. Both conference fan bases would love for this game to happen.
Could you imagine the ratings for these games? It would be through the roof. Better than the NFL Playoffs in my opinion. You could have Bama vs Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. FSU vs Miami in the Orange Bowl. Oregon vs Stanford in the Rose Bowl. And Ohio State vs Missouri in the Fiesta Bowl. The winners go on to play semifinal games in New Orleans and Atlanta. Final Championship game could be in Indianapolis or Houston. It would be epic and it needs to happen. 4-team playoff is cool but an 8-team playoff would be the shit.
