College Bowl Games

After losing a few bucks on the Wisconsin Badgers, I am more confident than ever that there should be a playoff system in college football.  The Badgers along with the rest of the Big Ten simply proved that it wasn't as strong as thought, but it told us little about TCU.  No matter who wins in the Auburn/Oregon match up, TCU is left out of the discussion.  The truth is that nobody cares about watching Notre Dame, UConn, Northwestern, or Hawaii, unless you attended those schools.  We care about 8 schools at the most, and who is the best.
The NCAA forces us to watch unranked teams and match-ups we care little about in their effort to provide entertainment to the fans and dollars to specific areas.  When most of the top teams finally reach their bowl games, it has been a month since they played their last game.  It's time to stop the conference tournaments and put the top 8 in a playoff.  The other teams can travel to Boseman, Montana to play in the Priceline.com bowl, but leave the final 8 to fight it out.  Eight teams could start playing on December 11th.  Four teams could play on December 26th.  And the final two could play on January 10th.  No conference tournaments, three games at most, one champion.
According to my playoff, Auburn (1) would play Arkansas (8), Oregon (2) vs. Oklahoma (7), TCU (3) vs. Ohio State (6), and Stanford (4) vs. Wisconsin (5).  The 9th and 10th ranked teams this year were Michigan State, who got walloped 49-7 in their bowl game, and Boise State, who had their chances.
It worked out this year for the most part as two undefeated teams play for it all while the rest of the games meant nothing.  But the match-ups above would have been great to see.
Predictions:  Auburn would have beaten Arkansas to advance.  Oregon would be too much for the Sooners.  Give TCU the nod considering the big ten troubles.  Ditto Stanford.  That would leave us watching Auburn's  Newton versus Stanford's Luck.  While testing whether TCU could prove it could win more than just one in a row versus high powered Oregon.
Time to go.  They are previewing the GoDaddy.Com bowl on ESPN.
