Des Bieler: Mike Leach favors 64-team playoff

[43rd Parallel]

AN EXCERPT:

Here is how Leach’s plan would work:

• Make the regular season 10 games
• Have the first playoff round be a home-and-home series
• For the following rounds, bring the existing bowls to host games
• Teams that don’t make the playoffs can schedule their own extra games against other non-participants
• The ultimate winner would play 16 games
