[oquote="Stern, post: 81971"]No its not, tie-in's are total control. The Orange Bowl knows 10 times out of 10 they are going to have the ACC champ in their game[I] (short of the ACC champ being #1 or #2)[/I]. That's what the bowl wants, that's what the ACC teams want. [U][B]Everyone is happy.[/B][/U] Same with the SEC and Sugar Bowl. Fiesta and Big 12. And of course the Rose with their deal. Under the scenario YOU are proposing, they are sending schools all over the place with no logic behind it. Just based on a computer printout. Teams ranked 5 and 6 go to the Orange. Ok, Stanford and Boise you pack up for South Florida. WHAT???? 3 vs 4 go to the Rose, ok Auburn and Florida St, that's you pack for Pasadena. That makes zero sense. You remove ALL the human element from the equation with your scenario.[/quote]

Logic and bowls in the same sentence.

How about a system that gets us the 1 vs. 2 game and then organizes the bowls geographically and uses the BCS system to rank the teams in each section and then pairs the teams in each region by their ranking. That eliminates the travel problem and still gives us a merit-based system.
