At long last, your friends at The Campus Socialite have decided to solve college football’s postseason problem. The BCS has been widely regarded as a failed experiment and has been smashed by everyone from ESPN analysts to President Obama himself. I don’t believe that the smaller bowls should be eliminated, rather that this new playoff system be added to those existing games. With 16 teams in the field, a total of 15 games would be played to determine the National Champion over four weeks. These games would be played at four stadiums (Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl)
