My proposal for a FCS style playoff for FBS [View all]

I think if we shorten the season by 1 game, encourage teams to eliminate games against FCS teams.

FCS has 10 conferences, the same number as Division 1A. I added all conference champions plus 14 at large teams which I used the selection committee's rankings to slot the teams. For unranked teams I put San Diego State first than Applachian State and Western Kentucky.

I'm only half serious as it diminish the importance of the regular season which is what drives the intensity (compared to other sports it's ok to lose a few) though I think this is why Div. 1 coaches are the biggest assholes in sports. Plus I just wanted to create a bracket to see what it would look like.

I do think they need to come with a fair system as currently there is too much subjectively and bias.
