I have come to the realization that there will probably be no playoff system within the next few decades. I have a solution to what everyone really wants--good regular season games!
I think they should let the NCAA take over scheduling of all non-conference games for the schools. One of the rules for scheduling will reflect something like the NFL. If you are a BCS automatic entry and you place in the top 3 in your conference then you have to automatically play a top 3 team in another automatic entry BCS conference. Just one game a year for the non-conference will potentially be an awesome match-up. They would also have to play a top 3 finish to a non-BCS automatic bid conference. You would apply this same rule for the middle and bottom half of the conference teams.
If they do go to a playoff system I think the only way it could work effectively is to have all D1 schools in a conference and have 16 conferences with no championship games and have automatic bids for a 16 team playoff, that way everyone has a chance to play for a National Title. This too in my mind would allow for great non-conference games, since they could lose a great match-up game but still have a chance by winning their conference.
That is all, please dissect and tell me where I am wrong on my thinking.
