I am entirely unsatisfied with the omission of OSU from the playoffs in favor of Alabama, as well as hijacking the Rose Bowl, which OSU and USC should be playing in. In 2009, I created playoff brackets. Since then, more conferences have split by division, so the brackets should all be adjusted. Everyone plays in, with the possiblity of only a few wild cards. Here is the new set. Forget the rest of the Bowl games unless the players get paid to particiate.
West
Pac 12 North v. Mountain West Mountain
Pac 12 South v. Mountain West West
Winners play in the Fiesta Bowl and face Outback Bowl winner from
Midwest
Big 10 East v. MAC East
Big 10 West v. MAC West
In the Rose Bowl to play the Sugar Bowl winner in the National Championship
South
Big 12 v. SEC West
Sun Belt v. SEC East
Winners play in the Cotton Bowl and face Orange Bowl winners from
East
ACC Atlantic v. AA East
ACC Coastal v. AA West
Send Conferece USA to the FCS and make the Independents either choose a conference or sit out the postseason. Because this entirely a playin, abolish the ranking system and the polls. Only wins should matter, except to the NFL scouts.
