My NCAA playoff proposal - updated brackets.

[patdog]

Champions of the SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12 & PAC-12, plus the highest ranked conference champion outside those conferences and 2 at-large teams.

Dec 16-17 (one game on Fri night & 3 back-to-back-to-back on Sat)
#13 Michigan St. at #1 LSU
#9 Oregon at #2 Bama (at large)
#6 Houston at #3 Oklahoma St.
#5 VA Tech at #4 Stanford (at large)

Jan 1
MSU/LSU vs VT/Stan in Orange & Sugar bowls
UO/Bama vs UH/OSU in Fiesta & Rose bowls

Jan 14
Championship at a site to be bid out

That would be one hell of a playoff. It's a shame it can't happen.

All 11 conference champs plus 5 at large. At large births and seeding according to BCS standings. I'm assuming some winners of championship games, primarily Ok. State beating Oklahoma. That would have an effect on an at large depending on how it hurt Oklahoma. I don't know if they would drop below Kansas St. or not.

Round 1 @ home of highest Seed Round 2 @ home of highest Seed

1 LSU (SEC)
16 Arkansas St. (Sunbelt) LSU/Ark. St.
vs.
8 Arkansas (at large) Arkansas/Oregon
9 Oregon (Pac 12)

4 Stanford (at large)
13 Big East Champ Stanford/Big East Champ
vs.
5 Va Tech (ACC)Va Tech/TCU
12 TCU (Mountain West)

6 Houston (CUSA)
11 Mich. St or Wisconsin (Big10) Houston/Big 10 Champ
vs.
3 Ok. St. (Big 12)Ok. St./La Tech.
14 La. Tech (WAC

7 Boise St. (at large)
10 Kansas St./Oklahoma (at large) Boise/Kstate Ok winner
vs.
2 Bama (at large) Bama/MAC champ
15 Ohio/N.Illinois (MAC)

After that, the Semi-finals are played at neutral sites on opposite sides of the country for back to back college football awesomeness. For instance, Atlanta and Pasadena. Or New Orleans and Tempe. The final game is bid out like the Super Bowl.

As for the four major bowl games?

Sugar: Georgia vs. Baylor
Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Nebraska
Fiesta Bowl: Kansas St./Oklahoma vs. Mich. St./Wisconsin (which ever ones don't make the tourney)
Rose Bowl: Michigan vs. South Carolina
