My point also.

Way too many mediocre teams in that mix.

Go with 4-16 team super conferences( dual 8 team divisions in each conference) Go with the 8 divison winners out of the 64 teams.

Eff the rest of the teams they can play division TwoA.

I don't give a damn about seeing any Sun belt, MAC or other lesser teams involved.

If a few Big Least teams get left out so be it. Makes it even better.

The Four Superconferences should be the SEC, Pac 16, Big Ten and some amalgamation of Big 12, ACC Hybrid

That works too. As long as it's clear that four teams from the four conferences move to the playoff stage. No arguing or voting on whether the fourth place team from one conference is better than the second place team from another conference.

Four teams move on. That is all.

yeah you Could match up the 8 Division Winners in Conference Championship Saturday on the First Saturday in December.

Those 4 Conference Winners then Move on to the semi finals then those two Winners play in a National championship Game Hopefully on New year's Night.

There ya go. Winner winner chicken dinner.

And the conference championship losers can still move on to the other bowl games, along with other qualifying teams that don't make the conference championship games.

Eight conferences...16 teams in each conference. Each conference has two eight team divisions. Screw the current conference affiliations...with all the conference movement they're becoming irrelevant anyway.

Each team plays 12 games...seven against your division, four from the other division of your conference (which rotates every year), and one 'tradition' game outside your conference. Think Notre Dame-USC.

Each conference has a championship game...eight champions. They enter a true 'Bowl Championship Series' to determine a champion.

The rest of the bowls fill out with non-conference champions.

There. Fixed it.

16 teams in each conference, WAY too many.

What? How is anything 1A does comparable to the playoffs in 1AA, 2, 3, etc...?The BCS system is not anything like a playoff. Look at the 1AA playoffs that are just starting to see how in should be done in regards to seeding and what teams get in.
 
Things here in Bryan/College Station are a freaking circus right now.

1. We're ranked in the top ten in the preseason but finish 6-6. In 5 of our 6 losses we have a 2nd half lead of at least 9 points.

2. On Tuesday, 11/29, the CFO of the Athletic Department is busted for having called A&M President Dr. R. Bowen Loftin a "putz" on texags.com back in June 2011. Apparently he had given his real name at some point in 2010 and another poster remembered that and dug up that thread.

3. On Wednesday, 11/30, Bill Byrne, our Athletic Director Bill Byrne gives head coach Mike Sherman his full support in his weekly Wednesday release:
“I'm hearing the Queen of Hearts solution from ‘Alice in Wonderland' from many of you,” Byrne wrote. “We need to set aside our disappointment and build from here. We all need to remember our coaches and players put us in position to win all our games this season, and once we take the emotion out of what went wrong, we will find a way to fix it.”

4. On Thursday, 12/1, someone within the A&M administration leaks to Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman that Mike Sherman has been fired. Sherman, who is in Houston recruiting, learns he is fired through the mother of a recruit that he is visiting.

Report: Mike Sherman didn't know he was fired until recruit's mom told him | Texas A&M Aggies News - Sports News for Dallas, Texas - SportsDayDFW.
This is not only embarrassing to the university, but we just showed the entire sporting world that our Athletic Director is not in the loop when it comes to hiring/firing football coaches.

5. To quote San Antonio newspaper columnist Buck Harvey
Sherman out when he shouldn't have been in - San Antonio Express-News
After all, if the athletic director isn't making the decision, who is?

Who controls this place?

I have no idea other than someone who can afford to pay a $5.4 million buyout. That was the reason that Sherman was supposed to be here for 2012.
 
Poor Mike Sherman. Losing to Texas did him in. Of course, if A&M can only win 6 in the Big-12, how many will they win next year in the SEC?

I'd say the A&M AD is the next one to leave.

With events of past week being last straws (Toole as part of that), an A&M insider told me to expect dismissal of AD Bill Byrne soon. #mysa
 
Lolz thats funny to have the mom of a recruit tell him he was fired - can't help but laugh.

I thought that Mike Sherman needed to go, but he is a class act through and through. He deserved better than to get caught up in a feud between the President's Office and the Athletic Department. He has a press conference this afternoon at 3 PM CST. It's being streamed live on aggieathletics.com. I will be interested to see what he has to say. I am about 99% certain he will stick to the high road. There are a lot of people around this campus that could learn from that.
 
You know the last successful HC at Wazzu was Mike Price. He got hired away by Bama and was promptly fired after he brought a stripper to his hotel room at a Florida golf tournament. I've always wondered what Price got away with over the years in tiny Pullman, WA.

Leach had a reputation in Lubbock as a guy who not only frequented the local bars, but stayed there until they closed. It makes me wonder what Leach will be able to get away with in tiny Pullman?

I think this has been expected. It appeared Byrne has always been out of the loop. Wasn't he out of the country when Loftin decided to announce they were leaving.
 
Yes, the basketball team was in Europe for some kind of pre-season tour when the SEC announcement was made. Byrne was with them over there.

I think they wanted Leach because of how he was able to recruit good players into Lubbock. I think of Pullman as the Lubbock of the PAC-10. If they wanted a button-down conformist head coach, they wouldn't have picked Leach. Of course, the T-Tech administration was so shell shocked after Mike Leach and Bobby Knight, they went for the opposite, Tommy Tuberville.
