1. I'm not Vel.

2. I was guessing on the top four. Amazingly, I got three of them right.

3. You can't possibly win. I was going for the best possible compromise I could come up with. I was offering a shot to help the sponsors and the money people getting money and a playoff system. It's not like the BCS braintrust is gonna go to the TPDub to figure out how to fix a problem they refuse to acknowledge exists.

4. I went arbitrary because the first four games (1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc.) wouldn't be for bowls. It's the results of the games that set up the big 4 bowls. All teams get a bowl game, it's just a matter of who goes where. 4 winning teams play in two bowls. 4 losing teams play in two bowls. As far as diluting the importance of bowl games. Hell, they're top 4 for a reason. Why not have 2 of the top 8 teams in the country play in one of the top 4 bowl games? "Diluting the importance" is just bullshit propaganda from the guys who sponsor the top 4 games, anyway. If there's a way to keep affiliations, I'd be open to go for it. I don't want to see a lop-sided bowl game just to satisfy the affiliations.

5. Also, an Undefeated team should have to prove themselves against one of the "better" one loss teams. Case in Point: Hawaii '07. Besides, it's not like a One Loss Team could be better than an Undefeated team (This year's SEC Championship Game.) What happens on the field should matter. As far as the possibility that the top two teams facing in an earlier game, thus negating the importance of the rest of the games: More bullshit BCS propaganda. If they're that much better, they should have no problem proving it against the inferior teams.
