That's twelve. At-larges to be determined by the BCS computer system, I guess. To me, that gives every team in Division 1 a theoretical shot at the start of the season to win the championship. Assuming you could convince Army/Navy to move their game back a week to the first weekend in December, 2nd weekend in December could be the conference championship games for those that have two divisions. Third weekend in December is Opening Weekend, 7 games on Saturday (say, 2 at noon EST, 2 at 3:30, 2 at 7:30 and the West Coast game at 10:30). A feature game that Sunday night, assuming the NFL doesn't raise a huge stink. All games at the higher seeds home fields. Last weekend in December would be round 2, all games on Saturday (same time frames as the week before assuming there's still a West Coast team still on board). First weekend in January are the semi-finals, one game at 3:30 and one game at 8:00 Second weekend in January (or third if you want a two-week Super Bowl-like buildup) is the championship game. I dunno, I hardly ever think about this stuff. /shits pants, runs out of room ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big 10, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, Pac10, SEC, Sun Belt, WAC, Top ranked win-elegible independant (assuming 9 wins to get in).

Notre Dame (10 wins or 9+ whatever)

I’d want at least 4 at large spots. Which conference gets the last spots?

I can understand the need for it to be shorter, though, the timeframe I mean.

On the other hand, my comment yesterday about hoping for 1 loss Texas, Florida, and 'Bama is serious. I'm just curious to see how the rankings would fall out then. My question about the playoffs is how many spots do you have? One the one hand, I don’t really care who wins the national championship – I just want to watch some good games of football.

That makes 3. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we have the right politician on our side. Isn't this why Heath Shuler was elected to Congress? I’m for a playoff. That makes 3.
