And as for Colorado, you can just use the search function of this site for that. In addition to the original invite they got in the 1990's, the Pac 10 has discussed expansion again and Colorado is a name that has come up. The Big 12 has been a great home, but the differences between the north and south continues to grow.

These responses are all great. But they are all directly or indirectly saying the same thing regarding big picture: want for a playoff system

I sure would like to see one.

But playoffs don't exist now. And if the only option was to make changes within the BCS as it is, I'll take these…especially since the reason for this website is to discuss conference realignment ;)

As for how conferences are ranked…you can see that now each week at http://www.realtimerpi.com/football/ncaaf_conf_Men.html

It's a bogus system because all conferences don't have the same number of schools and there are so few games for football (vs basketball).

There are things I like about this plan and things I don't.

I like the fact that every school could be included in a potential BCS payday.

However, I don't like the fact that there is no mention of how to determine which conferences would be the top conferences. Further, I don't like the fact that with this system, you'd still potentially have the issue that could surface this year, with undefeated teams not being able to play for a championship.

Maybe what Congress should do is stay the heck out of forming playoff systems, and definitely not use this one. This plan would not only destroy college football, but college basketball as well. The Pac-10 doesn't want any new members, period. The Big Ten doesn't want any new members unless they're named Notre Dame, and definitely not Rutgers. MAYBE Syracuse, Pitt, or even Cincinnati, but I doubt it.

Stewart Mandel's playoff system causes a whole lot less disruption and is something that actually has a chance of satisfying almost everyone.

why would colardao jump from the big 12? the sun belt will also go up to 10 football teams after south alabama comes to division 1 A. With both texas teams coming up and also georgia state. the sun belt can easily get 12 schools. what of the big easts basketball schools also. Temple was kicked out of the big east because they couldn't get enough attendace.
