You know what would actually be the most interesting?

Go back to how things were before the Bowl Coalition and add just 1 National Championship game.

The BCS really killed all the other bowls and the Playoff has driving the final nail in the coffin.

For decades, the bowls would be over and we'd sometimes argue about 2 teams, but in the history of the sport there are only 5 years where 3+ teams make a claim according to the NCAA and I'm sure not all of those are legit.

So we came up with this idea to screw up the bowl system yet not completely remove it from the championship picture, which only makes things more convoluted, but yet hurts the overall bowl picture, by picking 2 teams to play for a championship. Yet ask yourself, at what point do we know the most about all of the teams? After the bowl games.

30 years ago, the easy answer was to simply develop a formula or vote to pick the two best teams after Jan 1 and we they fvcked it up. All they had to do was let Miami & Washington play or Colorado & Georgia Tech or Nebraska & Michigan. It was that simple.

And when you do that, you know what hapens? Every single one of the top 12-15 bowls matter again. Not just the top 4. Revenue from all those other bowls goes back up becausue interest in them goes back up because a contender might come out of one of them. Not likely, but maybe. Remember BYU and the Holiday Bowl?

Let the Big 10 and the PAC have their Rose Bowl. Keep the SEC champ in the Sugar. Get the Big 12 champ back to the Orange. Let the ACC have the Peach.

When all of those are done, are there really more than 2 teams that we care to see play?

I know they're finding a way to make more money with a bigger playoff, but I 100% believe the overall interest in the sport would be helped by going backwards some.
