This is just my little fun thing to do at the end of the college football regular season. It's my personal solution to destroying the BCS BS, giving college football a playoff while keeping the Bowl games alive at the same time.
We have the 11 conference winners and 5 at-large teams. BCS standings are still used to determine seeding. Yes, all 11 conference champs get in, that way the lower seeds have an easier matchup in the 1st round, making regular season games still meaningful.
Teams in BOLD are matchups if there were this playoff. In the 2nd round on, I'm randomly choosing who advances based on nothing.
Teams in (italics) are the actual bowl matchups this season.
