Terry Bowden shows all what a playoff would look like in college football


Terry Bowden has devised a potential playoff scheme for college football with actual dates. Unfortunately, as we all know in the world of college football it's all about the benjamins.

Many coaches support the need for a playoff, and the determining the national champion on the field rather than by a computer and human voting. Unfortunately, this isn't likely for a number of years, if at all due to the amount of money that is obtained in sponsorship revenue in the current setup.

Below you will find a draft of his idea for the playoff system. In our opinion one thing that may tempt the guru's to go to this system is to have the bowl games be playoff games.

For instance, 1st round could be arbitrary bowl games (Cotton, Peach, Gator, etc) depending on who bigs for them. Then the semi-finals can be either, Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, or Orange Bowl and rotate them between quarterfinals and semi-finals every year just like in the current BCS system. College football can then get their bowl games and sponsorship revenue that they seek by avoiding the playoff system.
Also, for the teams that don't make the playoffs, you can also have bowl games for them to to make them feel special.

Believe it or not, there will be 64 teams that will make a bowl this season. This December when you watch these games pay close attention to the crowds of these lower tiered bowl games, the seats are nearly empty.
