The Music City Bowl brought together two teams that were 6-6 this season. Whatever happened to bowl games were a reward for a good season. After losing the game Wake Forest now has a losing season and to me they and Mississippi State should have been home watching others play.
One of the big obstacles of a playoff is a 12 game regular season. I say go back to a ten game schedule. Have a 16
The first weekend of the playoffs have only four games and the second week the other four games. The third weekend the two winners from week one and the fourth the two winners from week two. The fifth weekend play only one game and again the sixth weekend only one then the two left play on New Years day.
No one has had to play two weeks in a row and since it takes 15 games to determine a champion let the top 15 Bowls be the host of all the playoff games. That still leaves the other 24 bowls to have the other bowl qualifiers to say they had a bowl game. The top bowls could do just as they do now and host the championship game by rotating the championship game.
Then of course if you cut back to only ten regular season games each conference should have an eight games conference schedule and that leaves only two non conference games. In order to qualify for a bowl game you would need to win six out of ten and if you lose the bowl you have still won more than you lost.
If the FCS- D-II and DIV III are happy with playoffs why would the big boys not like it even more?
