BCS Robots

The Obedient Robot loves college football.  Some people like the BCS the way it is.  Other than those two people everyone else wants a playoff.  Here is a very robotic solution.

There are 120 teams in college football playing at the level that matters most.

There are six BCS conferences and 5 other conferences.

Everything stays the same except:

The six BCS conferences would each be limited to ten teams each.  Sixty teams there.

One new non BCS conference would be created so that there would be six non BCS conferences of ten teams each.  Sixty teams there.  Each non BCS conference would be tied to the most geographically sensible BCS conference.  

During the season each team would play the other nine teams in their respective conference to determine who is the conference champion.  No more conference championship games.  This leaves three non conference games to protect age old rivalries.  

The BCS games would be selected as they are now except that only BCS conference teams can play in them.  

How is this better you ask?

The team with the worst conference record would be dropped from their BCS conference at the end of the season.  They would be placed in the non BCS conference that they are tied to.  The team with the best conference record in the non BCS conferences would be rewarded with a chance to play at a higher level by being allowed into the BCS conference that they are tied to.  

What does this mean?

This allows upward and downward mobility amongst teams.  It would make all games at the end of the season interesting as they would have conference shifting implications.  Yes the independents such as Norte Dame would have to join a conference.  There would be no more complaints from the Boise States and Utahs of the world who claim that they are good enough to play with BCS teams.

The Obedient Robot will be attending The Holiday Bowl and will repeat this for all who will listen.
