Todd's PERFECT Championship System for College Football
Here is my idea for determining the NCAA National Champions WITHOUT getting rid of the BCS...
We use the same BCS ranking system that we currently have...At the end of the regular season, we take the top eight BCS teams and put them in a BCS playoff....This year, the first round match ups would look like this:
(1) Alabama VS (8) Ohio State
(2) Texas VS (7) Oregon
(3) Cincinnati VS (6) Boise State
(4) TCU VS (5) Florida
These games would make up the four traditional BCS bowls (the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta) and would take place in mid December.
The semi-finals would take place in early January and the BCS Championship game would be held in mid to late January.
This system would only add a couple of weeks to the season. We would shift from five BCS games to seven, with those two additional games bringing in millions more in revenue.
As for the non BCS bowls, they would all remain the same.
No conference would be guaranteed a spot for their champions in the BCS. Therefor, no more arguments concerning which conferences should be considered "BCS conferences"...If you finish in the top eight of the BCS standings, you make it into the playoffs.
Sure, the teams who end up ninth and tenth wont be happy....but guess what? Those guys have no chance under the current system anyway.
Under my plan, if you go 12-0, you can rest assured that you will be rewarded....and if you win the SEC or Big 12 title, you will surely clinch a spot in the playoffs.
The bottom line is that any team who truly deserves a shot at a national championship will undoubtedly finish in the top eight of the BCS rankings...and in return, receive a chance to prove themselves.
Everybody wins when you do it my way!

Things To Watch For In The SEC This Weekend
- The Tide will turn in Starkville and the Bulldogs will walk away with a huge victory...Yes, you heard me correctly! In a game where both teams will be determined to run the ball, the defenses will stack the line and dare the quarterbacks to air it out...Mississippi State's young secondary will have a field day with Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy and a bunch of grumpy elephants will stomp back across the state line in a bad mood...BANK on it!
- Ed Orgeron will finally get an SEC win in Oxford...although a couple of years too late for Rebel fans.
- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier will kick the "visor toss" competition into high gear this week, as the Gamecocks inch ever so closely to another 6-6 campaign.
- Vanderbilt fans will envy South Carolina for being able to reach 6-6 more than once every 30 years.
- Erin Andrews.
- Mississippi State will acquire at least 8 more penalties than Alabama, but still manage to pull off the win.
- Arkansas will become bowl eligible with a win over the Troy Trojans, helping to erase the painful memories of their recent meetings with USC Trojans.
- The south will NOT rise again at Ole Miss.
- The bourbon will flow so freely in Baton Rouge, EMT's will be on hand to treat alcohol poisoning on the spot...Yes, it's another LSU night game.
- Nick Saban will say bad words and curse the cow bell.
- Erin Andrews.
- Monte Kiffin will showcase why he is the highest paid assistant coach in the country.
- After witnessing his beloved Bulldogs defeat the Crimson Tide, long time MSU radio personality Jack Cristil will rush the field and join his team in a spirited rendition of the Dawg Pound Rock....All will be perfect in the world.

80's Halloween Flashback
- I'll never grow out of enjoying the Charlie Brown Halloween special...you know, "The Great Pumpkin"...but whatever happened to the Garfield special? Those two used to come on tv back to back every year. I'd wait 364 days to see Garfield and Odie dress like pirates and paddle that little boat to the creepy island...Those were the days!
- At least 90% of kids watched Stephen King's "IT" when it originally aired as a mini series...89% of us were totally freaked out by it...70% never trusted clowns again...and 30% are still in therapy today.
- I LOVE the horror films of the 80's...but have you ever noticed how slowly most of the killers move, yet they always catch their victims? I've never understood why the poor fool being chased by Jason didn't just pick a direction and keep running like hell.
- Killer Klowns From Outer Space was a true classic...and ridiculous in every way...but I've still managed to avoid circus tents for most of my life...I also catch myself checking cotton candy for bodies...
- Does anyone remember the Highway to Heaven episode in which Michael Landon turned into a werewolf on Halloween? Very cool...If he could have done that on the prairie, poor little Laura would have most certainly wet herself.
- The Monster Squad was awesome...one of those movies that made you want to round up some buddies for an adventure...I ran across the dvd at Walmart earlier this year and was so overcome with excitement that I almost pulled a "Laura Ingalls" myself.
