18 Teams

Six automatic spots to the winners of the six BCS conferences.

One automatic spot to the highest ranked non-BCS winner.

Four "play-in" spots for the other four non-BCS conference winners (seeding done by computer ranking).

Seven at large berths. No restrictions on teams from one BCS conference.

In the event of a non-BCS conference having a ranking that would be eligible for an at large but has a ranking lower than that of a team playing a "play in" team, they are switched out. i.e. suppose #8 Eastern Michigan wins the MAC, but #11 Wyoming would be eligible for an at-large berth. #11 Navy would be added to the play-in group, while #8 Eastern Michigan is now treated like an at large team.

Brilliant argument. You sure have swayed me!

11 conference champions (you can't give an automatic birth to the ACC and East champs and leave out the WAC and MAC champs)

5 at large teams (based on computer rank)

Independents have to join a conference. (to stop ND from setting up a fraud Schedule to get into the BCS like they do now)

Seeds based on Computer rank.

Judging from what he has on the left I think in the right bracket it is supposed to be Florida State.

The ACC and Big East were football powers less than a decade ago.

Any system that bans an undefeated conference champion from access to the championship is as made of fail as the current one.

Your biggest mistake is in assuming the BCS designation means anything. The Big East, for example, has no business having an automatic BCS bid.

Anyway, 16 teams, all conference champions plus select at-larges. THE SAME WAY THEY DO IT IN DIVISION I-AA.

Counter proposal:

16 teams.

BCS stays as is, as a overall aggregate ranking system. Every 1A conference has a place IF and only if they play a conference championship game.

The 16 brackets are filled as follows:
A conference winner that has finished in the top 10 of the BCS rankings gets an automatic berth.
A ranked and undefeated team (of course, you'd be a conference winner as well) gets a shot at one of the remaining berths.
A team that is either a conference winner OR in the top 10 of the BCS rankings AND a conference runner-up may receive any remaining bids, with preference to conference winners and ordered by BCS ranking.
Any remaining berths may be filled by conference runner-ups in the same manner as previous.

Also, bring back the idea of the quality win. I always thought that was a huge boost for smaller teams when they upset a major team, especially if they were on the cusp of being ranked.

If you can win your conference but can't manage to get ranked, then obviously your strength of schedule needs to improve beyond playing St. Mary's School for the Blind.

The nice thing about this is it quiets the BCS fans (yes, there are some, like me) who consider the entire regular season a playoff with the fickle finger of fate called the polls, and allows each conference a more even footing. (assuming that the human polls will recognize teams from smaller conferences enough to get them ranked).

I'd stick with the OP idea of a 1v16, 2v15, etc bracketing, but as a huge BCS supporter I'd much rather see every conference count if a playoff gets layered on top. Else, each year you'll have a bunch of smaller schools crying they didn't get in because the BCS conferences get X automatic bids. With my hare-brained scheme, there's a equity in how each conference should determine it's winner & representative for the playoff; play hard, win, get ranked, & you go.
