16 team tourment and how it would work


To start this off this is just a rough draft and feel free to make adjustments with your reply's. 

Under my system 16 teams would get bids into the field one for the conference winners, yes even the Sun Belt and MAC, and then what could only be described as "wild card" teams including the independents Notre Dame, Navy and Army getting a WIld Card Berth.  Using that selection process there would be two brackets with eight teams in each with No. 1 playing 16 in one bracket and No.2 playing 15 in the other. First round is at the Higher seeded teams field starting in the Second Round you start using Bowl venues second round being in the Cotton Bowl, Gator Bowl, Peach Bowl, Holiday Bowl or some other bowl with the same level of recognition. the Final four play at two current BCS bowl Venues changing the combination of the two every year so it's not the same two bowls each year, so it would be Fiesta and Orange Bowl one year the Orange and Rose another, then Fiesta and Sugar another year. The championship game would be played at on of the current BCS bowl locations that didn't host a third round game so if the Fiesta and Rose bowl held a thrid round game the either the Sugar or Orange bowl would host the National Championship game. As I stated earlier this is just rough draft if you think you can add something to make it better than feel free to say so in your reply's.

Found this over at Bleeding Green Nation




Is Goodell doing right by fans or advertisers

the main point of this FanPost is pointing out how Rodger Goodell is making decisions that make his wallet fatter but might be detrimental to the fan. It points ou the redicuslousness of putting a team in Europe having the draft be over the course of three days and an 18 game season. Also it talks about how Vick was only given a two game suspension because,according to the writer, their wasn't any storylines going into the week and Goodell wanted to create one. Read it and see what you think.
