My BCS Solution

In the immortal works for Jim Mora, Sr.  "Playoffs, don't talk about the playoffs!"  A college playoff will never happen.  There is too much tradition and money involved.  There are some legitimate arguments against it.  One, for example, is that Football is NOT, believe it or not, the main reason those kids go to college.  The value of the credential that they earn is hard to measure.  The talk of a playoff may abate somewhat it the playing field is leveled.  I have a five-part solution.

1.  There are five non-qualifying conferences at this time.  Consolodate them into four.  There will be a total of 10 FBS conferences.  Here is how.

New Mountain West (+3=12)

Mountain (North) Division
Air Force
Boise State (From WAC)
Brigham Young
Colorado State
Utah
Wyoming

West Division
Fresno State (From WAC)
Houston (From Conference USA)
New Mexico
UNLV
TCU
San Diego State

New WAC (-2 + 5 =12)

West Division
Hawaii
Idaho
New Mexico State
Nevada
San Jose State
Utah State

East Division
North Texas (From Sun Belt)
Middle Tennessee State (From Sun Belt)
Louisiana Tech
Louisiana Monroe (From Sun Belt)
Louisiana Layfeyette (From Sun Belt)
Memphis (From C-USA)

Conference USA (-2+2=12)
Add Troy and Arkansas State

MAC
Add Western Kentukcy

Demote: Florida Atlantic and Florida International to FBS.

2.  Promote two additional bowls into the BCS.  I propose the Cotton Bowl and the Holiday Bowl.

3.  With seven BCS bowl, there is room for every conference champion and four at-large births into the big bowls.

4.  Share the money equally, except for the conference of the National Champion gets a larger share.

5.  Each team will only schedule ten games each season and reserve two non conference games to be scheduled by the NCAA after the previous season ends.  It will use a formula similar to the NFL.  For example, the Big 10 number one gets a home game against the ACC number three.  Where the ACC number one gets a home game against the Big 12 number 3 and so on.  This will eliminate the cupcake scheduling that happens now, where the Boise State's of the world can not get a home game against anyone decent.
