[Husker] BCS playoff

[j j]

I would think somewhere there has to be a system
involving playoffs that could generate the same kind
of money the bowls do now. I dont know what that is
but here is what I would like to see. The top 16 teams
in a playoff with the first 3 rounds played at the
higher ranked teams home field. All gate money in each
round is split between the teams in that round. The
championship game would be played at a neutral site
determined like the Super Bowl is.  The bowls could
continue for the other 101 teams that dont make the
playoffs. Other than the 4 BCS bowls I would think
they  would probably draw as much interest as they do
now.
