Proposal for a NCAA Division 1 Football Playoff System - Part 2

So, 16 teams: how do you pick them? Interesting quandry. The most realistic system would give six (6) automatic births to the six (6) current BCS conference - ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10 - champions, and ten (10) at-large births, determined by an actual selection comittee. The game would be played at the home of the higher seeded team (i.e. #8 v. #9 game would be played at #8). Such a system would have resulted in the following play-off, assuming the selection committee had the same finding as the BCS:

(* = denotes automatic bid from winning Conference title in a BCS Conference)

(1) Ohio State* v. (16) Rutgers
(8) Boise State v. (9) Auburn
---
(5) USC* v. (12) Arkansas
(4) LSU v. (13) West Virginia
--- --- ---
(3) Michigan v. (14) Wake Forest*
(6) Louisville* v. (11) Notre Dame
---
(7) Wisconsin v. (10) Oklahoma*
(2) Florida* v. (15) Virginia Tech

However, a more ambitious model would have given an automatic bid to the eleven (11) NCAA Division 1 Football Conferences. This would be the six (6) BCS Conferences plus the winners from the remaining five (5) non-BCS Conferences - MAC, Mountain West, WAC, Sunbelt, Conference USA - and only five (5) at large births. The sixteen (16) schools would then be ranked by a selection committee. Such a system would have resulted in the following play-off, assuming the selection committee had the same finding as the BCS:

(* = denotes at-large bid from selection committee)

(1) Ohio State v. (16) Troy
(8) Boise State v. (9) Auburn*
---
(5) USC v. (12) Wake Forest
(4) LSU* v. (13) BYU
--- --- ---
(3) Michigan* v. (14) Houston
(6) Louisville v. (11) Notre Dame*
---
(7) Wisconsin* v. (10) Oklahoma
(2) Florida v. (15) Central Michigan

As you can see, the five (5) at-large bids in this proposal are teams with legitimate beefs as being one of the top two (2) schools in the nation: Notre Dame, Auburn, Wisconsin, LSU, Michigan.

I also like the second system better for it rewards all schools for their performance in the regular season. Those schools who win their conference games and conference championship games are those that deserve a shot at the national championship. Up to five (5) teams might be the exception to that rule, but ten (10)? That is a stretch.
