    This is a good way to start it off...

    All conference champions are represented, so there's no whining.
    Played on higher seed fields, it's the end of the crappy BCS and bowl ties.

    Line 'em up, and let's get it on!!!

    It looks good to me.

    Which means, the Presidents will never make it work.

    Utah and TCU are complaining about having to play a conference foe, particularly so soon after they last played each other. They want to switch partners with OSU and TT.

    There are some great 2nd round match-ups in that bracket (assuming the seeds hold) - with the exception of the OU/Tech rematch that would be an awesome day of ball!!

    Wow! I would probably end up divorced! What a great bunch of games. Can you imagine the "discussions" every Monday morning during that December?

    I like it, however after today you may, and I emphasize may, have to switch Florida and Alabama! :)

    I also like Florida and Alabama and Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas in brackets with each other so that two members of the same conference can't meet in the finals.

    It makes way to much sense for it to ever happen. The Bowls, especially on New Year's day, and the next few games, are to much tradition. Somehow it would have to be woven into the bowl structure.

    Hey Scott did you do the graphics? They are cool.

    Nah, I can't take credit for the bracket, I stole it from Yahoo sports.

    I SO want a playoff, but am fairly sure it won't happen within 20 years.

    I sure wish all the presidents that so oppose it would talk to all the Championship division presidents about how damaging it is...
    Their arguments are so empty, they are worse than old tobacco companies...
