15. The Price Is Right Big Wheel
All the makings of a thrilling championship tiebreaker. Les Miles spins the wheel. Drew Carey asks if he wants to say hi to anyone. ("I'd like to say hi to my buddy Bill Martin up in Ann Arbor, how you ... actually, I'll just text him later.") And then when he lands on 95 cents, even if he loses the BCS game, Miles can fervently say that his team's never lost a game on the big wheel, so in a way they're undefeated.
16. USC wins every year
Pete Carroll has so much fun coaching. Look at him and those puppy dog eyes.
Snubbed Playoff Systems Who Didn't Make It Into The Bracket
(What would a playoff be without them?)
• 128-team playoff bracket
• Super Sloppy Double Dare physical challenge
• Double Jeopardy question
• Modified Stableford point system
• Swimsuit competition
• 1-team playoff bracket
• One of those contests where you have to stand the longest while having one hand on the car, and if I knew what that kind of contest is called, this entry would be much shorter. Oh, and instead of a car, it's the Sears Trophy.
The Bracket
After I finished this, I realized that enabling a 16-team playoff might inherently assume advocacy for a 16-team playoff system. That's not the case. I'm an impartial sports bystander who advocates no one system. Well, except the BCS. That thing rules.
Aw hell. If you submit votes to me, I may include them in the following rounds of the NCAA Playoff Bracket Playoff Bracket.

The plus-shaped football field system gets its championship shirts from Lane Bryant.

I like the reality TV vote off.
I think there are 119 teams in Division 1A.
We play 118 weeks, one team is voted off each week.
So what if that takes over 2 years. The BCS makes no sense, so why should the new system.
Plus everyone says how much they love college footballs "regular season." This just makes it over 100 weeks longer. And college football would become year round.

10. World Cup-Style Pool
Sixteen teams in four pools. Everyone in a pool plays each other. Top two teams advance to the final eight. Plus ... international referee scandals! That always sweetens the entertainment. Stipulation: games have to be played at 5 a.m.
Hilarious!

Oh please, anything but #9. With Mark May and Lou Holtz running things we'd have a USC-Notre Dame title game for eighteen years in a row.

Actually, scratch that: #9 and #16 are the exact same thing.
