Default Re: \"Fixing\" college football -- let\'s see your solution

BTW, I did come up with a way to "fix" the post season a couple of years ago.

My plan will give every team in division 1-A a legitimate shot of winning the national championship, while still allowing the media to have their biases influence the outcome, and to top it all off it's so simple your grandmother can understand it, and it involves LOTS of money!

Each BCS game currently pays around $15 million to each team. That's about $120M total. I figure the bowl committees themselves are sucking up an additional $50M or so in overhead, kickbacks, and skim. Let's just figure $200M, whatever, the actual number isn't really that important. At the end of the regular season, a randomly-selected athletic director puts the names of all division I-A schools in a hat and pulls one out. That team plays Notre Dame in South Bend (that's the "media bias" part), and the winner gets all the money and the title. Easy. No secret formulas, no smoky backrooms, and under this system, Auburn and Utah have better chances of winning than they do under the current system.
