My Version Of A College Football Playoff

I have spent a lot of time thinking about this, and this is my idea of the best layout for a college football playoff.
First off, it would be an eight team playoff system. The first 6 teams would be conference champions of the following conferences:
ACC
Big East
Big Ten
Big Twelve
SEC
Pac 10
The other two teams would be at-large teams, the highest two ranketed teams in the USA Today Poll who didn't win their conference or aren't in one of those six major conferences.. Seeding would be based on USA Today Rankings.
So let's look at this if it was used during the 2006 season.
- 1-Ohio State(Big Ten Champ)
- 2-Florida(SEC Champ)
- 3-Michigan(At-Large)
- 4-LSU(At-Large)
- 5-Louisville(Big East Champ)
- 6-USC(Pac 10 Champ)
- 7-Oklahoma(Big 12 Champ)
- 8-Wake Forest(ACC Champ)
I understand that in a year like last year that still might not work because of teams left out like Wisconsin or Boise State, but no matter how you set it up, someone is going to be disappointed.


Have an 11 game regular season. The 12th game that was added last year is turned is the first round of the playoff. The previous conference championship game becomes round two. The bowl game becomes the third round. The championship game is added.
By doing this, only 2 teams will play an additional game then what they are doing now.
