In 2004 the BCS ended in controversy when the coaches poll ranked Oklahoma number 1 and awarded them the National title. However LSU won the BCS title game and was awarded the National title. For the first time in history the college football world had a tie for the best team in the country. Ever since people have tried to do away with the BCS and are looking for a new way earn the national title.
Here’s the solution, oh and the 1-A sub championship teams use a similar method:
Playoffs! There are currently 12 conferences in the country and so your first round will consist of 12 conference champions and 4 at large teams. These conference champions currently consist of teams such as Boston College, Ohio State, LSU, Hawaii, Arizona State, and Oklahoma. All of these teams deserve a chance to show the world that there are as good as Ohio State and that they could beat them if given the chance. Hawaii, because of conference and schedule commitments, has yet to play anyone tough this year and they will continue to play lower caliber teams. Yet who is to say that undefeated Hawaii couldn’t keep with Ohio State or LSU? And after all the loses highly ranked teams have suffered this year, don’t you think someone deserves a chance to out do the number one team in the country?
Here’s how it would work. The last week of the season would end, and the following Monday the final poll of the season would come out. The teams would also be ranked in the conferences. The top team in each of the 12 conference would automatically make the playoffs. After taking those 12 teams out of the national rankings you would then add the next 4 highest ranked teams into the 4 at large bids. Based on the current national polls and the conference standings this is how the bracket would look:

The playoffs would take place the Saturday following the last week of the regular schedule and would run for a period of 5 straight weeks. A few critics of this system argue that the players who are eligible for the NFL draft couldn’t declare because they would still be in season. This is not a problem because the baseball playoffs run even longer than five weeks and players who are competing in the College World Series have often already been drafted by a MLB team. Football can work the exact same way.
So my question is why not? The draft isn’t affected and the season becomes more interested, and for once we will have a true National Champion!
