A Possible Playoff System

^^^
Example of the Winner and Losers Bracket Pretty Cool Right (Click on Images to enlarge)
So my friend Ray Lewis, me, and Ray's dad all had little ideas to make an actually well rounded BCS Playoff system.

The System:
1. So first we will keep all those sponsored bowls so the ncaa can still make its high revenue.
2. But at the end of the year the BCS standings do not decide anything they are basically thrown out.
3. Instead we choose the top 8 teams in the country. These teams will be chosen by the Heisman Voters. There are 950 of them so they will all get a good say. The voters will write down their top 8 teams in their mind (All the teams written out/voted for must be in the top 25 so no joke team gets picked) Once all 950 voters have decided their individual Top 10s points must be distributed. So it goes like this if a team is voted first they get 10 points (Obviously the same team will probably be voted first a lot like this year in the case of Auburn) then the second place teams get 9 points each, 3rd place gets 8 points, 4th place gets 7 points, 5th place gets 6 points, 6th place gets 5 points, 7th place gets 4 points, and 8th place gets 3 points. All points for each team are added up and then put into the correct order 1-8
4. The 8 teams will then play in a playoff style setting with seeds 1-8. The 4 winners will play in the second round. The two games in the second round will be two different BCS bowls which will rotate every year. They 4 losers will play in the consolation round in two other BCS bowl games.
5. The 2 winners of the final 4 team "Winner Bracket" will play in the National Championship and depending on the teams finish the 3rd and 4th place finishers will be decided from those two teams who lost to the teams playing in the National Championship.
6. The 2 winners of the consolation bracket will play in a new BCS bowl game made up, like The ESPN bowl idk but it will have a new name making a 6th BCS bowl. Obviously the winner of the final consolation game will be the 5th place team the loser will be the 6th place team and depending on teams finish the 7th and 8th place finishers will be decided from those two teams who lost to the teams playing in the "ESPN bowl".

• This way we avoid having a stupid selection process.
• The NCAA will make more revenue with the addition to the BCS bowl and the fact that more people want a playoff system will help with ticket sales and views.
• We no longer need to worry about a computer messing up the standings when we have 950 smart voters who will vote for the top 8 and continue to vote for the heisman.

Bowl Picks

New Mexico Bowl:
Brigham Young 49, UTEP 14 (BYU is a much more talented team than the miners of UTEP.)
Humanitarian Bowl:
Fresno State 28, Northern Illinois 21 (Which team beat illinois? That was fresno St.)
R+L CARRIERS NEW ORLEANS BOWL
Troy 35, Ohio 32 (I think Troy they pull it off.)
BEEF 'O' BRADY'S BOWL ST. PETERSBURG
Louisville 28, Southern Miss. 21 (The cardinals sneak by a decent souther Miss team)
MAACO BOWL LAS VEGAS
No. 10 Boise St. 45, No. 19 Utah 7 (Boise will come out full blast and destroy them utes)
SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL
Navy 31, San Diego St. 28 (Navy is 9-3 and has been really impressive this season, and well I LOVE RICKY DOBBS)
SHERATON HAWAII BOWL
No. 24 Hawaii 42, Tulsa 28 (Hawaii is the best pass team in the nation that is going to be hard to stop)
LITTLE CAESARS BOWL
FIU 14, Toledo 10 (Feeling the upset go FIU)
AdvoCare V100 INDEPENDENCE BOWL
Air Force 21, Georgia Tech 10 (I like Air Forces offense and I'm not really a believer in GT)
CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL
N.C. State 28, No. 22 West Virginia 24 (I liked the Wolf pack throughout ACC play and WV played in a weak Big East Conference)
INSIGHT BOWL
No. 12 Missouri 35, Iowa 14 (I think the tigers completely run over the hawkeyes. Just don't smoke any pot before the game Adam cough cough Robinson cough cough)
MILITARY BOWL
Maryland 21, East Carolina 3 (Maryland impressed me late in the ACC season getting big wins)
TEXAS BOWL
Illinois 28, Baylor 24 (Have not picked against Illinois all year this week is no different Go ILLINI)
VALERO ALAMO BOWL
No. 14 Oklahom St. 35, Arizona 7 (Should be a joke game those cowboys know how to play)
BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL
Army 21, SMU 14 (Army is a much more dominating team on the line)
NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL
Syracuse 35, Kansas St. 28 (The Cuse should come out hot and ready to play)
FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL
North Carolina 31, Tennessee 28 (NC will have a lot and tom much for Tennessee to handle)
BBRIDGEPOINT EDUCATION HOLIDAY BOWL
No. 18 Nebraska 42, Washington 14 (What a joke and a disgrace that the ncaa give nebraska such weak competition)
MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL
South Florida 10, Clemson 7 (Tough game to pick but considering the Bulls beat Miami Florida I gotta go with them)
HYUNDAI SUN BOWL
Notre Dame 24, Miami Florida 21 (The Catholics Vs. Convicts but neither are ranked and their is nothing on the line?)
AutoZone LIBERTY BOWL
No. 25 UCF 17, Georgia 7 (Georgia is a struggling 6-6 team and UCF has gotten hot at the right time. Dawgs go Dawn)
Chick-fil-A BOWL
No. 23 Florida St. 31, No. 20 South Carolina 28 (I have liked State recently and South Carolina has their heads down after that Auburn game)
TICKETCITY BOWL
Texas Tech 35, Northwestern 7 (Considering Persa won't play Northwestern should get killed, just look at their last two games of the season)
CAPITAL ONE BOWL
No. 16 Alabama 24, No. 9 Michigan St. 21 (I liked the Spartans all year, but come on Roll Tide much more talented team in Bama)
OUTBACK BOWL
Florida 24, Penn St. 21 (Great battle of head coaches, but seriously the Gator players are going to go all out considering this is Urbans last game)
PROGRESSIVE GATOR BOWL
No. 21 Miss. St. 42, Michigan 28 (If Michigan's D comes to play then this could be a different story)
ROSE BOWL GAME
No.3 TCU 31, No.5 Wisconsin 28 (This was the toughest BCS game to pick, but I think the Horned Frogs have enough gas to get over the pesky Badgers. I fully anticipate this game coming down to the wire)
TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL
No. 7 Oklahoma 35, Connecticut 32 (I originally laughed at this game, but I think uconn will take all of this negativity towards them and use it for their benefit)
ORANGE BOWL
No. 4 Stanford 28, No. 13 VT 21 (Can't go against the future #1 Pick in Andrew Luck!)
ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL
No. 8 Arkansas 31, No. 6 Ohio St. 28 (Considering Ohio st. is in a lot of trouble right now and doesn't play well against sec teams in big games I have to go with Ryan Mallet and the Razorbacks)
GODADDY.com BOWL
Miami Ohio 24, Middle Tenn. 21 (Should be a close one, but i gotta go with Miami Ohio.)
COTTON BOWL
No. 11 Lsu 35, No. 17 Texas A&M 28 (I think Lsu will come into this game PO'd and take all their anger out on the Aggies. Lsu is a very talented team and was the second best in the SEC behind Auburn)
BBVA COMPASS BOWL
Pitt 17, Kentucky 14 (Pitt BABY)
KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL
No. 15 Nevada 28, Boston College 14 (I think Nevada could either lose this game and be the 1 hit wonder of the world because of Boise St. or they can play like they did against Boise St. and show BC up with an impressive bowl win)
BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
No. 1 Auburn 31, No. 2 Oregon 28 (This is going to be a flat out amazing game, and well until I see Cam Newton stopped I don't believe any one can not even Oregon. Should be a lighting game with lots of offense and scoring)

3. LaMichael James-RB Oregon- The week he sat out with a hurt ankle really hurt his heisman hopes. (Sophomore)
4. Kellen Moore-QB Boise St.- Sad lost to Nevada ruined his chances still thinking he is a great QB. (Junior)
5. Justin Blackmon-WR Oklahoma St.- He is the best WR in the country, but if Aj Green hadn't got injured he wouldn't be the best. (Sophomore)
