College Football’s postseason is just like the holiday season, not everyone will be satisfied all the time. This will be the case no matter how the postseason is formatted. The Holidays are about giving not receiving so I will give you the ideal postseason scenario.
Now let’s say we add 6 teams to the current BCS games. Look what we have here, a Sweet 16. These 16 teams consist of the AP poll’s top 16 and will play in a playoff. The remaining 54 teams will continue playing in the 27 non-BCS bowl games. Each playoff game will have a Bowl sponsor such as the Sugar, Orange and Rose Bowl.
This post season will satisfy almost everyone. Each Bowl game will continue generating the revenue they are pulling in now. Each school that advances in the playoff will accumulate extra revenue. The public will finally get the playoff system they have wanted for many years. This playoff system will also produce the excitement that March Madness does for college basketball. Not to mention this playoff system will also prepare players for the NFL playoffs. It will define character even further for pro scouts.
Now of course there will be teams each year that are left out and do not agree with this postseason. That is inevitable. Are there problems with this system? Yes, but not as many as the current situation and there is more revenue. Wouldn’t you love to see games like LSU vs. OSU, OSU vs. Oregon, Stanford vs. Alabama or Baylor vs. Michigan (RG3 vs. Denard Robinson). All of this is possible with my College Football Postseason Proposal.
Until the next time…

It's one of the most corrupt businesses in the country. SI came out with an article last year that explained how only a handful of teams even made money last year with the bowl games. The question is not whether schools will travel because as soon as a school accepts a bowl they are automatically on the hook for every single ticket. The school is forced to buy every ticket so the game is a sellout no matter what. The schools end up losing money while the bowl committees clean up because more often than not the school itself cannot sell all the tickets.
