I hate this idea. The BCS can't have any part of this in my eyes. And no polls can be involved until the end of regular season.
I like an older idea where the OOC games rotate conference-wise every year with the top finishers play the top of the other conference, so on, down the line. This would give even the weaker conferences a crack at the big guys in their turn and pretty well assure no conference would dominate the top slots, playoffs or not, year after year.

I'm just a CFB fan, I don't know squat. lol.
If the conferences aren't even in size, I didn't think about that, off the top, I'd say let the bottem feeders of the larger conferences play who they want with their OOC games. If they don't like it, get better.... There's a balance point between "proving" yourself and a" free ride". Where that lies, is the toughie. I lean in the direction of the big boys, who have paid their dues over the decades. I am willing to cede that I'm in the minority on this one. My biggest concern is once the playoff door is opened, even the useless "crack" of 4 teams/plus one, it won't be closed again and eventually what we have is harmed beyond repair. If I had my druthers, I'd cancel the NCG and BCS, go back to pure bowl system and perhaps introduce one more bowl after the others are done. Call it The Challenge Bowl. Rotating locations where two schools who want to face off with each other can have at it. Make it restricted to bowl winners, perhaps. Nothing to do with "polls". Just top schools with a show-down at OK Corrall that have a mind to. Nothing mandatory. No trophy, just braggin rights. I know, I'm just an old geezer.... |

That's the first time I heard something along those lines and it seems interesting. It's almost like "funsies" with nothing on the line other than pride and passion for the game. I'd go! |

YamD, lol, I have no idea where that came from, my fingers typed it on their own. Gawd, the list off team that could square off...... mind boggling.
Here's a one, have the fans vote for the two teams they'd like to see square off... Imagine the ratings. |

If we are talking "money driven" it would be perfect. You also have the curiosity factor and you'd end up with people wanting to see rare machups. I like different and am not all immursed in only one team getting to end their season with a win. These are still kids.

Avoid any idea that makes sense. What happens if they experiment, it works and the complaining decreases. We could wreck college footballs heritage.
We need to find more Pac 12 guys to post here. It makes sense even if we have to talk about USC!!!! LOL |

Hey, it's mother's day. The Pac takes care of their mothers.
The trash talk wouldn't decrease, as per the norm, it would go up, Excuses, the Refs, not equi-distant between the teams at the Bowl site, the list is infinite. Even more fuel to last the off-season. Lord!! I have a consensus with Trojanfan12 and YamD!! Now that's a first. Somebody copy and paste this to the NCAA. |

Well you almost had a concensus. I can't believe you read somewhere that people think officials decide the outcome of football games on occasion. How can an objective and honest person buy that?

YamD, see!! I told you the disagreement wouldn't go down. We lasted, what? five minutes with a consensus? Hah.
Hmm, speaking off refs, maybe we should let Vegas schedule the "Challenge Bowl"..... |

Good morning, all's well in the Pac-12. As usual. Some of us were wasting Mother's day time yesterday and a really" left field" idea arrived from hyper-space. It's called the "challenge bowl".
Just to stir the doo doo a bit, I'm going to float this idea in a thread. I'm curious as to your take on it.... |
