What i hated most about the BCS was the "single elimination" concept. Firstly, it wasn't equal for all teams. Some teams could lose and still make it. Others could not. And teams that lost early had an advantage over teams that lost late. But my big objection is this: in the NFL you have 25-30 year old players who have played for their teams for several eyars. They are given 4 exhibition games to prepare for the seoasn. They play 16 games. 7-9 teams have made the playoffs, (and had a home game!). A 9-7 team has won the Super Bowl. The NFL is very forgiving of defeat and the emphasis is on the team you become by the end of the season. In college, you have kaleidoscopic line-ups aof players in their alte teens and early 20's. You get no exhibition games. You play 12 games and, unless you are one of the elite programs, you can lose a game in August and your national title hopes are crushed.

The ideal would probably be to organize eight conferences, (Big East, ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 8. SWC, WAC and Pac whatever), and make sure that all the schools that have shown the capability to produce a national championships, (including you, Notre Dame!) are in those 8 conferences. Then  have the conference winners play off for the national championship. Since that isn't happening, and 8 team playoff with maybe 5 auto bids to the ACC, SWC, Big 10, Big 12 and Pac 12 and 3 at large teams looks pretty good.
