OK, let's try this on. Now that the BCS is releasing its rankings every week, let's project the various BCS bowl games and, for pickled shits, what the world would be like if we had a college football playoff. Let the fun begin:
National title game: Penn State vs. Florida
The fighting JoePas will breeze into the title game thanks to a soft Big Ten (what the hell, Badgers?). At least they'll rid us all of another Ohio State embarrassment. Florida, meanwhile, is getting hot at the right time. The Gators will roll over Florida State in the season finale and a possible undefeated 'Bama in the SEC title game to make a jump in the polls. They'll have to fight off Oklahoma, which will have a similar jump after some tough late-season games.
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Utah
Wishful thinking, probably, but Utah is golden as long as it can win out. If Utah isn't here then it'll be Boise State/BYU. If Utah falls this spot will likely go to Boise State, but BYU might even get enough of a jump after Utah beat TCU if it can beat Utah in the season finale. Will it be enough to bump Boise? Oklahoma has a brutal late-season sked, with games against Texas Tech, Oklahoma St. and then the Big 12 title game, if the Sooners get there.
Orange Bowl: Florida St. vs. Texas Tech
That's what I hate about these crap conference tie-ins. You've got better games out there and available that just won't ever happen. But you've gotta accommodate the crappy ACC/Big East winners. Bogus. And we won't be lucky enough to see Texas Tech vs. Alabama and Florida St. vs. West Virginia because then the bowl that hosts the latter would bitch. One more reason for a playoff.
Rose Bowl: USC vs. Texas
Who wouldn't want to see a rematch of the Vince Young/Bush-Leinart classic, sans those key players? Texas is one play from being in the national title game, but will be shut out of the Big 12 title game. But you can't shut them out of the BCS. With Penn State going to the title game, the Buckeyes may want a rematch. But it won't happen, thankfully. Ohio State is screwed in that respect, but then again it should have beaten Penn State.
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. West Virginia
I mean, really, who cares. Alabama will win, in ugly SEC fashion, a dominant win with something like a 24-10 final, and I know I won't be watching. Then we'll all whine that the system stinks, it sucks.
Playoff style (six conference winners plus two at-large teams):
Semis:
Penn St
USC
Oklahoma
Florida
Final:
USC
Florida
Champ:
Florida

man, you are so right, in regard to everything. You make Gandhi look like a child pornographer.
How about this. If those dipshits want to keep the current system, just have one or two floating automatic berths so that when conferences are shit (see Big East, ACC), they no longer have automatic berths. The top-16 exception rule was meant for the smaller schools, but it should be applied to the automatic berths instead. If the conference champ doesn't finish in the top-12 or 16 or whatever it is, they don't deserve an automatic bid.
hurump, hurump. I like the idea code. Tell your boy BJ to tell your boy Chris Hill Sr. to make it happen, then call me. You've got my number. toodles.
