Remember: What we proposed was to take out the BCS National Championship Game. We would keep the other four BCS bowls. The four winners would then go on to play in a final four of sorts. All this would mean would be one extra game for two schools, two extra games for two schools, and a whole lot of money for both.
I am proposing one different idea, though. Right now, the Rose Bowl is tied to the Pac-10 and the Big-10. The Fiesta Bowl is tied to the Big 12 champion, the Sugar Bowl is tied to the SEC champion, the Orange Bowl the ACC champion. The other three teams are selected in order of Fiesta, Sugar and then Orange. The only requirement is that the Big East champion is somewhere in there. I propose changing that order, and not making it a set one. Change it so that there's a seeding process. Regardless of conference ranks, VT is obviously the worst (we can use the BCS average for this) out of themselves, Oklahoma and Florida. So give the Orange Bowl the first choice, and then the Sugar, and then the Fiesta.
So, we're off.
No. 1 Bowl: Fiesta Bowl
(Oklahoma (Big 12 champion) vs. Cincinnati (last place BCS team))
vs.
No. 4 Bowl: Orange Bowl
(Virginia Tech (ACC champion) vs. Alabama (first place BCS team*))
No. 2 Bowl: Sugar Bowl
(Florida (SEC champion) vs. Texas (second place BCS team*))
vs.
No. 3 Bowl: Rose Bowl
(Penn State (Big 10 champion) vs. USC (Pac-10 champion))
*Texas would probably be selected first, but the Sugar and Orange Bowl would make an agreement so that SEC wouldn't play SEC.
So, conceivably, you would have a "final four" of Oklahoma vs. Alabama, the winner of which would play the winner of Florida vs. USC. If any of those four didn't make it, the team in their place would have beaten them, deserving to be there.
