A Potential BCS Tournament Solution: Playoffs?! We're Talking About Playoffs!?

Round Two

Game Nine: Game Five winner vs. Game Seven winner

Played Dec. 26 at 5:30 p.m. in the International Bowl

Game 10: Game One winner vs. Game Three winner

Played Dec. 26 at 8 p.m. in the GMAC Bowl

Game 11: Game Eight winner vs. Game Six winner

Played Dec. 27 at 3 p.m. in the Rose Bowl

Game 12: Game Four winner vs. Game Two winner

Played Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Orange Bowl

I split those last four games up on Friday and Saturday to avoid running into competition from the NFL. The next set of games are spaced to where the NCAA can have more bowl games like it usually has. The next set of games are the semifinals.

Round Three

Game 11 winner vs. Game Nine winner

Played Dec. 31 at 7 p.m. in the Sugar Bowl

Game 12 winner vs. Game 10 winner

Played Jan. 1 at 7 p.m. in the Fiesta Bowl

The Championship game would continually be rotated among the stadiums that are already in the rotation for the game. 

Round Four

Round Three winners

Played Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. in the FedEx BCS National Championship Game

These could make for some very good matchups and games. The NCAA could've put into place a tournament-style postseason a while ago. Unfortunately for the fans, greed and power have gotten in the way.

These guys make millions off each of the bowl games, and all the students get in return are stipends. In reality it's the student athletes that bring in the money for the colleges. 

You're probably thinking it's been said before, this I know, but a tournament style using the BCS computer system and cutting down on a bid or two from the bigger conferences would raise the value of the games and team wins.

Just imagine instead of having two teams getting picked by a computer, the NCAA has 16 teams that have a chance to actually earn a shot to the title game and play for the title!

One day maybe we'll get to see it come true, but, for now, we're just gonna have to live with a chip and motherboard picking the games we "want to" watch.
