This is not the place, but I thought I would tell you guys my dead-simple way to have a college football playoff system and still please everybody.

This year (and every year) there are 35 bowl games stretched out over four weeks, so we have plenty of time.

Start with the top 16 teams - nobody can seriously complain if they are not ranked in the top 16, right?

OK, the first weekend of Bowl season - the week before Christmas, from Friday to Monday - there are eight bowl games. 16 vs. 1, etc.

Yes, right now there are not eight games scheduled that weekend, but how do you think the Independence Bowl would answer if asked to choose between a Dec 26th game between NC and Missouri, or a Dec 18th game with National Title implications? If they don't want to move, then somebody else would.

Next weekend... same thing. the remaining eight are narrowed to four.

Next weekend... same thing.

The second weekend of January you can have the consolation prize on Saturday night (if they still want to play), and the Championship on Monday.

Presto. 

Solved:
- We have an undisputed Champion.
- Nobody ranked #17 can seriously complain if they are not in the playoff. Maybe they shouldn't have lost those 2 games.
- We turned 15 or 16 bowl games that were previously meaningless with minimal TV ratings into interesting games.
- There are still 20 bowl games left, so Notre Dame will still find a game and there are plenty of choices for a Wednesday night game.
- 6-6 teams might not get rewarded with a bowl game.

About the only downside I can find is the colleges might complain about the travel and planning.

Boo-hoo. The pros do it every year.

There's lots of room for tweaks (maybe the top few teams get byes into the second round?), but I think the basic gist works.

Thoughts?
