College Football postseason solved...

It's rather simple actually. First we move the entire bowl season up a couple of weeks, the room is there, and then we develop a hybrid bowl/playoff system. The BCS games will remain, but they'll all be played some time between December 22 and 24, with one, at most, on the 24th. This is for TV ratings reason, which is why we're not putting any of them on the 25th.

The winners of these four games get to move on to the two playoff games New Year's Day, with the Championship following 8 days later in order to give the teams a slightly extended week.

Other bowl games will be free to play whenever they so desire, but no regular bowl shall be played on or after New Year's Day.

The main drawback is that only 4 teams will now get to play in a New Year's Day game every year with only 2 being victorious, but come on pansies, we can get over that. This system will keep the excitement of the bowl season, while adding the playoff flare and taking out all doubt of any Champion.

Another drawback would be the griping coming from the NFL about fighting for TV slots, but the NFL mostly plays on Sundays, so we can get around that pretty easily by moving games up or pushing them back by 24 hours.

Out.
