[Husker] Congress to investigate BCS - bring it back to theBig-XII (sort of)

[Mike Jaixen]

Who's traveling to these semifinal games at "bowl" sites with just one or two week's lead time, and a national championship game one week later at another site?

I'm just curious, because a semi-final game in Miami will be 2/3rd's empty unless a Florida team is playing.  Not because Miami isn't an attractive destination, it's just expensive to fly to and with so little advance time, no time to put together charters.

If a playoff happens, the semifinals will be played on home fields, just like in the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, 1-AA, MLS, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Round 3 hosted by bowls:
#1 remaining v #4 remaining
#2 remaining v #3 remaining

Round 4:
two remaining teams.

The good of this plan:
Minimal travel for fans of teams (max two games exc #9-12)
Reason to play for position (home field, byes)
Only one home game per team 
8 teams host games
12 is better (IMHO) than 8 or 16

The bad:
Only three bowls involved.  Which three?  (of Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, Rose)
What happens to remaining to remaining major bowl(s)?
With this plan, top twelve teams are out for all but the 3 bowls, so enough teams to support remaining bowls (six fewer teams available)?

But that is the reason we don't have a playoff, every system has disadvantages.
