Ever wonder what a college football postseason would look like with a playoff
rather than the bowl system? Whether you love the bowls, or you are a playoff
advocate, looking at a mock playoff bracket is at least interesting. Over the
next several weeks, we'll take a look at what the 2010 postseason might have
looked like with a 16-team playoff in place.
In a full-fledged playoff system, all conferences would have to be included,
and the big schools would have to share the revenue that they generate with the
Sun Belt, the MAC and the WAC. That's why I'm against a playoff. I'm not
convinced that Virginia Tech would make more money off of a playoff. That money
would have to be split up in more ways, and I've never seen anyone able to
confidently tell me exactly what a playoff system would be worth.
