      With 9 teams, I'm assuming you're playing an eight-game round-robin. A Sixteen-team playoff requires four games. So that's 12 games. Currently there are thirteen games (Big East, Big XII) or fourteen games (Pac-12, Big Ten, SEC, ACC), so would your system have more than one or two non-conference games? If not, you lengthen the season.

      My guiding principles when playing around with this stuff are: (1) The current conferences must be mostly preserved; (2) The season doesn't extend past the first week of January and doesn't start before Labor Day, roughly speaking; (3) Eliminate all voting and computers; and, (4) Any team left out of the system must have fair access to others during scheduling.

          He probably thought he was being bold putting the BCS Championship Game below both the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl, but the redo of "the worst game of the century of the century" may be so bad that it lays claim to the title "worse than the worst game of the century of the century".

              The school also gives the players gifts for making a bowl game. BYU usually gives the players $300 best buy gift cards.

                The article quotes an NCAA figure stipulating that players can receive gifts equaling no more than $550 per player. Are the school gifts included with that?

                Utah does the same. Hell, when I was a student-manager in '05 and '06, I got some nice Ute clothes and a pair of Nikes.

                  Too bad you aren't there this year to go to the Sun bowl. You might be able to pick up a. . . Helen of Troy Hair Dryer?

                          VaTech has sold ~9k of their 17,500 allotment for the Orange Bowl.

                          The BCS can't even get their arbitrary selection procedures right.

                              that would be pretty impressive if VaTech sold 9k tickets to a game they weren't even playing in.

                              They are in the Sugar Bowl.

                                Temple controlling the game against Wyo.

                                I think Christensen is a good coach, but Temple is a pretty good team.
